The report card
Best for removing backgrounds from images
Erase.bg removes backgrounds from images and short videos in the browser, one credit per removal, with 3 free credits on sign-up and one-time packs after that. A pack of 100 credits is $10. There's no subscription, credits expire after a year and aren't refundable.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | B | $5 for 10 credits, $10 for 100 and $20 for 1,000, one-time. Cheap per image, but credits expire after a year and are non-refundable, so it's a consumable, not a purchase. |
| Free plan and trial | C | 3 free credits on sign-up, an account required, and then you pay. |
| Features | C | Background removal, batch mode, background replacement, passport photos and an API. It does one job fully, which is a smaller job. |
| Ease of use | B | No rating on record. Upload, wait, download, with nothing to set up. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web, with a Remove Background API and an Enterprise plan for bulk. No phone or desktop app. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Erase.bg is for
- Fits if you cut out product shots or portraits in batches, a few at a time
- Works for people who want to pay per image instead of monthly
Who it is not for
- Tight if you stay free: 3 credits, and an account first
- Watch out: credits are non-refundable and valid for a year
- Skip it if you want a subscription, as the page has none
- Watch out: video removal stops at 30-second clips
- Not for you if you need bulk or API volume, which goes through sales

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Erase.bg you would be making a video editor. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.6 is higher than 132 of the 168 other AI image and video generators we grade. It costs $5, paid once.
What you could not
- A video editor.
- An API that other software can build on.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Erase.bg’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
