- Batch product photos and background removal
Photoroom removes backgrounds and builds product images at volume. It is aimed at ecommerce sellers rather than designers, and the batch tools are the reason people pay for it.
Who Photoroom is for
Anyone shooting a catalogue. Upload a few hundred product photos, strip the backgrounds, drop them onto consistent backdrops and export the lot. That workflow takes minutes rather than a day in Photoshop.
It is a poor fit for general image editing. There is no layer stack in the traditional sense and no serious retouching.
Which Photoroom plan should you pick?
Plans run on two meters: a shared AI credit balance and a monthly batch-export cap. Both matter, and it is usually the export cap that bites first.
The free tier gives 250 exports a month, adds a watermark and does not permit commercial use, so it is a trial rather than a plan.
Pro at $7.50 a month on annual billing covers most solo sellers. Max at $20.99 and Ultra from $82.50 raise both meters for larger catalogues. Enterprise adds API access and SOC 2 Type II.

Photoroom FAQs
Is Photoroom free?
There is a free tier with 250 exports a month, but it watermarks images and does not allow commercial use, so it works as a trial rather than a real plan.
How much does Photoroom cost?
Pro is $7.50 a month billed yearly, Max is $20.99 and Ultra starts at $82.50. Enterprise is custom priced.
How does the credit system work?
Two meters run at once: a shared AI credit balance for generative features and a separate monthly cap on batch exports. Most people hit the export cap first.
Can I use the images commercially?
Only on paid plans. The free tier prohibits commercial use and adds a watermark.
Is it better than Photoshop for product photos?
For volume, yes. Photoroom does hundreds of cutouts in one pass. For retouching a single hero image, Photoshop still wins comfortably.
Does it have an API?
Yes, on the Enterprise plan, billed per image on top of the subscription.
How many images can I process at once?
Batch size depends on your plan. Pro allows 1,000 batch exports a month, Max 3,000 and Ultra 10,000, with unlimited manual exports on all paid tiers.
Where does the 4.3 rating come from?
It is the aggregate score from 21 reviewers on G2, checked 12 August 2026. The sample is small, so treat it as a weak signal.
