Remove image backgrounds online and export transparent PNGs
About ShotBG
ShotBG is an AI background remover for product photos, portraits, logos and other still images. You upload one JPG, PNG or WebP image, the background is removed automatically, and you download a transparent PNG, with three free removals a day and no sign-up or watermark. It is aimed mainly at e-commerce sellers preparing listings for Amazon, Shopify and Etsy, where a product has to be cut out cleanly before it goes onto a marketplace-ready background. The site publishes measured examples of its own output for people, products, animals, cars and logos, with server processing times of 4.4 to 5.2 seconds and the share of fully opaque subject pixels for each one.
ShotBG is unusually open about how it works and where it stops. Background removal is handled by Cloudflare Images, and the paid custom AI backgrounds send your image and prompt through OpenRouter to Google Gemini. Uploads pass an automatic safety check, NSFW, sexual, adult and deepfake content is not allowed, and results and thumbnails expire after 24 hours. It processes one image at a time, scales output to 1920 px on the long side and has no solid-colour fill, so for an exact white background the site tells you to place the PNG on white in an external editor. Paid plans are sold yearly or once, with no monthly option: Annual or Lifetime, each with 1,000 removals and 20 AI backgrounds a month.
First you add a photo. Choose one JPG, PNG or WebP file of up to 40 MiB, paste an image, or pick Send from phone on a computer and scan the QR code to transfer a photo from your phone; the transfer link expires after 15 minutes and does not use any removal allowance. Larger photos may be resized in the browser before processing.
Next ShotBG removes the background automatically and shows the cutout beside the original, and the site asks you to check fine edges such as hair, fur, glass and low-contrast outlines against light and dark backgrounds. On a paid plan you can instead describe a new scene before processing, and the AI generates a background and applies it behind the subject.
Finally you download the transparent PNG in the same browser within 24 hours, after which results are deleted. The free allowance is three removals per person per UTC day, shared across account, IP address and browser, and free processing may pause when the monthly free budget is used. Paid allowances reset on the first of each month with no daily limit, and failed jobs release their allowance.
- •Automatic Background Removal - Cuts the subject out of people, products, animals, cars and logos and returns a PNG with transparent pixels, keeping soft edges rather than forcing a hard outline. No account, watermark or ads on the free tier.
- •Custom AI Backgrounds - On a paid plan you describe a background in plain words, such as a soft studio gradient or a marble tabletop, and the AI generates and applies it. It does not add shadows or relight the product, and the site warns that an AI scene does not guarantee an exact solid colour.
- •Send From Phone - Scan a QR code from the uploader to send a photo taken on your phone straight to the computer you are editing on, or use ShotBG in a mobile browser without installing anything.
- •Pages for Specific Jobs - Dedicated pages cover product, logo and signature background removal, sticker making, green screen and shadow removal, white backgrounds and transparent backgrounds, each with notes on what to check.
- •Seller Guides - Guides walk through Amazon main-image requirements, Shopify, Etsy, jewelry and clothing photos, setting up a product shoot at home, and choosing an image format that keeps transparency.
- •Clear Privacy Handling - Uploads are safety-checked before results are saved or returned, temporary files are deleted after checks, results expire after 24 hours, and the services that process your image are named on the site.
ShotBG is built for online sellers and dropshippers who need clean product cutouts for Amazon, Shopify and Etsy listings, and who want a fast way to isolate a product before placing it on a marketplace background. Marketers and designers can make logos and graphics reusable on different backgrounds, and anyone preparing a profile or team page can cut out a headshot before putting it on a shared backdrop.
It also covers smaller jobs, such as lifting a photographed signature off paper, isolating a pet for a design, or cutting out a car for a listing. Occasional users can stay on the free tier of three removals a day, while sellers processing images every week can move to the Annual or Lifetime plan for 1,000 removals and 20 AI scenes a month. Because it handles one image at a time and caps output at 1920 px, it is less suited to batch work or large print layouts.
