remove.bg is closing. Keep removing backgrounds.

remove.bg’s standalone site closes on 1 December 2026. FileFleet removes backgrounds free, right in your browser, at full size, and your photos are never uploaded. FileFleet Pro adds HD, batches, a product kit and an API that answers the same requests as remove.bg’s.

Moving your code from remove.bg’s API

FileFleet’s API answers the same requests: change https://api.remove.bg to https://app.filefleet.io and use a FileFleet key in the same X-Api-Key header.

curl -H "X-Api-Key: YOUR_KEY" \
     -F "image_file=@photo.jpg" \
     -F "size=auto" \
     -o no-bg.png \
     https://app.filefleet.io/v1.0/removebg

The same options work: image_file, image_url, image_file_b64, size, type, format (png, jpg, webp, zip), bg_color, bg_image_url, crop, crop_margin, scale, position, roi, channels. The same response headers (X-Width, X-Height, X-Credits-Charged, X-Foreground-*) and error format. Your balance is at GET https://app.filefleet.io/v1.0/account.

Why FileFleet. Built to be the last place you need to switch to.

Questions

Is remove.bg really closing?

remove.bg’s own notice says its standalone website will no longer be available from 1 December 2026 at 9:00am CET, and that its background removal is moving into Canva. Check remove.bg’s FAQ for what happens to your account, credits, subscription and API keys.

Is FileFleet’s background remover free?

Yes. Removing the background from your photos on filefleet.io is free, with no account and no watermark, at your photo’s full size.

Are my photos uploaded?

Not with the free tool: it downloads the AI model to your browser once and runs it there, so your photos never leave your device. HD and the API send the photo to FileFleet’s GPU over a secure connection; it’s worked on in memory and never stored.

Can I remove backgrounds from many photos at once?

Yes. Up to 10 at a time free, and more with FileFleet Pro at 1 credit a photo, downloaded as one ZIP. New accounts get 60 free credits.

Is there an API like remove.bg’s?

Yes. It answers the same requests as remove.bg’s API, with the same options, response headers and error format, so most code needs only a new address and key. Each image costs 3 credits at any size up to 50 megapixels, and the first 50 small previews each month are free.

How does FileFleet compare on price?

remove.bg’s last published prices were $9 a month for 40 images and $1 an image pay-as-you-go. FileFleet Pro is $12 a month for 1,000 credits: about 330 HD or API images, or 1,000 photos in batches or the product kit.

What about plugins like Photoshop, Figma or Zapier?
