ShotBG is an AI background remover built mainly for online sellers. You upload a JPG, PNG or WebP image of up to 40 MiB, and it cuts out the subject and gives you a transparent PNG with no watermark. It also works for portraits, logos and other design assets.
You can remove backgrounds from 3 images a day without signing up, though the free allowance also depends on a monthly budget, so it can run out for a while. Paid plans add up to 1,000 removals and 20 custom AI backgrounds a month, with no daily limit and no ads. With a custom background, you describe a scene in plain words, such as a marble tabletop, and the AI generates it.
The site is unusually open about how it works and where it falls short. Removal runs on Cloudflare Images, and custom backgrounds use Google Gemini through OpenRouter. It handles one image at a time, with no batch uploads, crop controls or print-ready exports. It doesn't add shadows or relight your product, and fine, transparent or reflective objects can lose detail. For an exact white marketplace background, you need to place the PNG on white in an editor such as Canva. Results expire after 24 hours, so download them promptly.
The Annual plan costs $59 a year and renews automatically. Lifetime costs $199 once. Refunds are available within 7 days, but only if you haven't used the plan since that charge. Sexual, adult and deepfake content isn't allowed.
Good fit for Etsy and Shopify sellers preparing product photos, dropshippers cleaning up supplier images, and marketers who need a quick cutout. High-volume sellers who need batch processing should look elsewhere.
