Professional headshots in secondsWhat is ClearBG?
ClearBG is an AI-powered online tool that automatically removes backgrounds from images. Using advanced machine learning, it detects the subject in your photo and creates a transparent PNG in seconds. Unlike subscription-based alternatives like remove.bg or Canva Pro, ClearBG offers affordable pay-per-use pricing starting at just $0.99 per image with no monthly fees.
How does AI background removal work?
Our AI model has been trained on millions of images to understand the difference between foreground subjects and backgrounds. When you upload an image, the AI analyzes every pixel to create a precise mask around your subject, then removes everything else to create a transparent background.
