What Background Eraser: Bg Remover+ does

Background Eraser: Bg Remover+ is an iPhone and iPad cutout app from KALEIDOSCOPE, a small studio that has made it since 2014. Its AI finds people, animals, vehicles and everyday objects, a portrait mode handles people, and a chroma key mode clears single-color backdrops. Manual tools clean up the edges.

AI cutout for people, pets, vehicles and objects
Portrait mode for photos of people
Chroma key mode for green screens and plain backdrops
Smart Eraser that follows edges
Area and Repair tools for cleanup
Shadows, gradients and object remover

Bg Remover+ gives you a few smart ways to start a cutout. General mode picks out people, pets, cars and objects. Portrait mode is tuned for photos of people. Chroma key mode wipes a green screen or any plain colored backdrop in one go.

Then come the hands-on tools. The Smart Eraser follows the contour of your subject as you rub, the regular eraser removes what you trace, Area mode clears similar colors from a tap, and Repair brings back anything you erased by mistake. Newer versions add shadows, gradient backgrounds, shape cuts and an object remover.

It's free to start with ads, and Premium is a monthly or yearly subscription. There's also a Pro and ad-free option. It's a calm, capable pick for iPhone if you want more control than a one-tap remover gives you.
