What happens to what

What remove.bg suggests instead
- For single images and for batches: Canva’s Background Remover, which remove.bg says uses the same technology.1
- For the desktop app: Canva’s bulk background removal, on the web or in the Canva desktop app.1
- For large volumes or automated work: Leonardo.Ai’s API.1
If you used it for product photos
For listing photos on a white background, this tool needs no account. It takes the background off on your own device, puts the product on white, and gives you 1024 × 1024 square or 1080 × 1440 in 3:4, up to 30 photos at a time.
It does not make transparent PNG files, and it has no API. If you need either one, follow remove.bg’s own suggestions above.
