Try Retouchable FreeBackground Removal Is Simple — But the Costs Add Up
Almost every product image needs a background removal or swap. It's the baseline of e-commerce photography. But at $5–$15 per image with freelancers or studios, it's also a significant cost center.
Multiply that by thousands of SKUs and multiple angle shots, and background removal alone can cost more than the photography itself. It's the most automatable step in the retouching pipeline.
