Photoroom
AI photo editor for product images and backgrounds
1/2Photoroom edits product photography without a studio: it cuts the subject out of a picture, drops it onto a generated or plain background, and batches the same treatment across a whole catalogue. Beyond background removal there are retouching tools, shadows, resizing for each marketplace's requirements, and AI generation for backgrounds, fashion models and video. It runs in the browser and as iPhone and Android apps, with an API for putting the same editing into your own pipeline. Usage is metered in AI credits and exports rather than seats, so plans are sized by how many images you process: Pro covers 8,000 credits and 1,000 exports a month, Max 25,000 and 3,000, and a higher Ultra tier and a quoted Enterprise plan sit above those with larger allowances, adjustable AI shadows, 4K output, visual QA tools and SSO.
