About PhotoBG
Why a single tool that does one job properly beats a suite you have to learn.
What we make
PhotoBG does exactly one thing: it puts a clean white background behind a photo. There is no editor to learn, no canvas to fight with and no ten-step onboarding. You upload a picture, you get a picture back.
Why we built it
Anyone who has tried to list a product online knows the routine — the photo looks fine on your phone, then you see it next to a professional listing and the kitchen counter in the background gives you away. The existing fixes are either a manual selection job in an editor or a subscription to a suite you will use twice a year. Neither felt right for a five-second task.
How it works
Your photo is sent to our server over an encrypted connection and passed to OpenRouter's image API, which separates your subject from its surroundings and re-renders the background as a clean white. The result comes straight back to your browser. Nothing is written to a database and no copy is kept once the response is sent.
What it costs
Nothing today. The tool is free, requires no account and adds no watermark. A fair-use limit keeps it responsive for everybody. If that ever changes, the free version will stay free for casual use.
What's next
More background colours, batch uploads and higher-resolution exports are the things we hear about most. The fastest way to influence what we build next is to tell us what got in your way.
