Can I use the background remover for free?

Yes. You can start for free and try background removal without adding a credit card. Paid plans and credit packs are available when you need more usage.

What images work best?

Product photos, portraits, catalog assets, and images with clear subject edges usually work best. Very crowded scenes or low-contrast edges may need a second pass or manual cleanup.

What output format should I expect?

The result is a downloadable transparent image suitable for ecommerce listings, design tools, ads, thumbnails, and presentations.

Can I use the output commercially?

Yes. RemoveLayer plans include commercial use for exported images, including product pages, ads, client work, and business content.

Should I choose a subscription or credits?

Choose a subscription for recurring background removal work. Choose pay-as-you-go credits when you need occasional one-time batches.

How many credits does one background removal use?

One background removal currently uses 1 credit after any available daily free removal has been used. Usage is recorded with the generation for account history and audit.

What is the refund policy?

Eligible credit purchases can be requested for refund within 7 days. Subscription changes and cancellations are handled through the account billing flow and follow the terms shown at checkout.
