Photoroom
An app that turns a phone snap into a clean product photo.
What Photoroom does
Photoroom is a background remover built for people who sell things online. Snap a product, and it cuts out the item, drops it on a clean or AI-made background and sizes it for listings. It works on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Android and the web, with a free plan that adds a watermark.
Photoroom started as a one-tap background remover and grew into a small product photo studio. You take a picture of a mug, a shirt or a pair of sneakers, and it finds the item automatically. No brushing around the edges unless you want to fix something.
From there you can drop the cutout on a white background, a soft shadow or an AI-generated scene, then export at the right size for places like Shopify, Etsy or Instagram. Paid plans add batch editing, so a whole catalog gets the same look, plus AI models and mannequin shots for clothing.
The free plan is fine for trying it out or making the odd listing photo. Exports on free carry a Photoroom watermark and come out at standard resolution, and you get about 250 a month. If you sell regularly, Pro is where it starts to make sense. If you just want to erase a stranger from a vacation photo, a simpler object remover fits better.
