What is Remove Background?
Remove Background is an AI tool in Pixelift that runs in the browser with no installation. Remove backgrounds from images instantly with advanced AI technology. Perfect for product photos, portraits, and e-commerce. Engine: BiRefNet Heavy. Cost: 0.5–1.5 credits per result; credits are bought once in packs from $1.49, no subscription, and they never expire. Files go to our server in the EU; if the tool uses an AI model, it runs at a provider from our subprocessor list. We never train models on them.
How It Works
The same model for everyone
Every photo goes through BiRefNet Heavy at a 2048×2048 working resolution with edge refinement, with or without a plan.
Precise Edge Detection
Advanced AI with 256 levels of transparency for perfect cutouts and natural edges.
Secure & Private
Your images are processed securely and automatically deleted after 30 days.
BiRefNet Technology
Our background remover uses BiRefNet, an advanced AI model specifically trained for background removal. It analyzes each pixel to determine which parts belong to the foreground subject and which are background, creating perfect cutouts with natural edges.
- 256 levels of alpha transparency for smooth, natural edges
- Handles complex subjects like hair, fur, and fine details
- Works with any type of background - solid, gradient, or complex

Call it from code
One endpoint, key in the header. The same tool that runs on this page — no browser, no clicking.
curl -X POST https://pixelift.pl/api/v1/generations \
-H "Authorization: Bearer pk_live_..." \
-H "Idempotency-Key: $(uuidgen)" \
-F "tool=remove-background" \
-F "file=@zdjecie.jpg"Response: { "id": "cmk8…", "tool": "remove-background", "status": "succeeded", "assets": [{ "kind": "output", "url": "/uploads/…" }], "result": { "image": { "processedUrl": "https://pixelift.pl/uploads/…" }, "creditsUsed": 1 } }
A retry with the same Idempotency-Key header is never charged twice; status and the event stream live at /api/v1/generations/{id}. The tool's direct route still works: POST /api/remove-background
