Why Background Remover is handy
- Bulk processing: a product catalog, photos for listings, team avatars — wherever there are many shots and the price per item counts.
- Speed: usually a few seconds per image.
- Transparent PNG: the subject drops straight onto any background in a layout, banner or product card.
- A “Vectorize” button: send the finished result to vectorization in one click.
- Choice on the spot: the same screen has Recraft BG — handy for comparing on a tricky photo.

Background Remover or Recraft BG
Both models sit on the same screen and solve the same task, but with a different emphasis. Background Remover is cheaper and faster, so it is the pick for volume: a whole product catalog, photos for listings, avatars. Recraft BG costs 1.5 ₽ per image.
On tricky edges — hair, fur, semi-transparent objects — Recraft BG may do a neater job. If a photo is difficult, run it through both models and keep the version with the cleaner outline.
Where it comes in handy
A transparent background is a starting point: next, the subject goes onto whatever backdrop the task needs.
| Task | What background removal gives you |
|---|---|
| Product cards and catalogs | A product without a background, ready to place on a white or branded backdrop |
| Avatars and team photos | Portraits on a transparent background for a website, badges and presentations |
| Banners and collages | A ready layer without manual selection |
| A logo or badge from a photo | A PNG without a background, and from it a vector in one click |
