Photopea offers a one-click AI background removal feature called Remove BG, which automatically detects and removes the background from a photo. It is available to all users of the web editor at no cost, subject to daily usage limits for free accounts.

The Remove BG feature is accessible via Select > Remove BG in the top menu. It uses AI to automatically detect the foreground subject and delete the background, producing an image with a transparent background that can be exported as PNG. A separate semi-manual tool called Magic Cut is also available for more complex images requiring user guidance. Free users can use AI features including Remove BG once per day; premium subscribers receive 3,000 AI credits per month.
