LassoCut bulk background remover: a whole folder at once

Built for e-commerce catalogues

Cut backgrounds from a whole shoot at once: product photos before you upload them to your store, marketplace listings that need a plain white or transparent background, or a full catalogue refresh when you switch your photo style. Pick a folder, run it once, and get every result back together, in a folder or a ZIP.

• Accepted formats: JPG, PNG and WebP as input; export as PNG, JPG or WebP.
• Limits: up to 22 MB per photo, and up to 25 MP for full-size results (PNG up to 10 MP).
• Price: 1 credit per full-size photo, 0.25 credit per preview, 50 free previews a month (up to 10 a day), packs from $9 for 100 credits — see pricing.
• Prefer to call this from a script or your own app? Use the API, or, coming from remove.bg, the migration guide.

Sign in to start

It uses the credits of your LassoCut account; 50 free previews a month (up to 10 a day).

How to remove the background from multiple images at once

1. Sign in with GitHub or Google. The tool uses the free previews and credits of your LassoCut account.
2. Choose your photos. Pick a folder, pick several photos, or drop them on the box. JPG, PNG and WebP files are kept; other files in the folder are ignored. Tick “Include subfolders” to process them too: the results keep the same folder structure.
3. Pick the size. Preview (up to 0.25 megapixels) is good for checking a selection; full size keeps the original resolution up to 25 megapixels.
4. Pick the background: transparent, white, or any colour.
5. Pick the format (PNG, JPG or WebP) and where to save: a ZIP file, or straight into a folder on your computer in Chrome and Edge.
6. Press Start. The tool shows the cost before you start, processes three photos at a time with a progress bar, and lists any photo that failed with the reason.

Close the tab only after the run is finished: the photos are sent from your browser, one request per photo.

What bulk background removal costs

The batch tool costs the same as a single image: there is no extra fee for running many at once and no subscription.

• Full size: 1 credit per photo.
• Preview: 0.25 credit per photo, and your free previews are used first: 50 a month, up to 10 a day.
• Credit packs: $9 for 100, $39 for 1,000, $249 for 10,000, $1,500 for 100,000. Credits do not expire while your account is open. Details on the pricing page.

Example: a folder of 400 product photos at full size is 400 credits, so one 1,000-credit pack covers it with room for the next shoot. Nothing is charged for a photo that fails.

Limits, sizes and output formats

• Input: JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 22 MB per photo. A larger photo is skipped and listed in the errors.
• Number of photos: the tool sets no fixed maximum. A run goes on until every photo is done, you press Stop, or your credits run out. The account rate limit is 500 megapixel-images per minute; when it is reached, the tool waits and retries on its own.
• Output size: previews up to 0.25 megapixels; full size keeps the original resolution up to 25 megapixels. PNG output is capped at 10 megapixels.
• Output formats: PNG (transparent or coloured background), JPG (for a white or coloured background, since JPG has no transparency) and WebP.
• Where results go: a ZIP file built in your browser, or a folder you choose in Chrome and Edge. For thousands of large photos, saving to a folder avoids building one very large ZIP in memory.
• Interrupted run: if credits run out, the run stops cleanly. Buy credits, press Start again, and the photos already finished are skipped.

White backgrounds for Amazon, Shopify and other marketplaces

Marketplaces want clean product photos, and Amazon asks for a pure white background (RGB 255, 255, 255) on the main image. For that, choose full size, background White and format JPG: the background is replaced with exact white rather than brightened, so the corners are not left slightly grey. For a Shopify theme or a listing that places the product on its own colour, keep a transparent PNG instead. If the photos are already in your Shopify store, the LassoCut app for Shopify processes them from the Shopify admin instead, and keeps the originals.

Or pick a marketplace under Ready for: the batch tool then frames each photo to that marketplace's canvas, puts it on white, can add a cast shadow and tells you how many images are not compliant (marketplace presets). Without a preset, the tool does not crop or measure framing: check that the product fills the frame as the marketplace asks. The rules in Amazon's own words, with sources, are in white-background product photos for Amazon; the wider workflow is on the marketplaces page.

When to use the command line or the API instead

The browser tool suits a folder you process by hand. Two other routes use the same account and the same credits:

• The LassoCut CLI for recurring folders or a server: lassocut --size full --output-directory out/ photos/*.jpg. It needs Node.js 18 or later, skips images already done, and retries busy answers on its own.
• The API to remove backgrounds from inside your own app or shop back office, with options the batch tool does not show, such as cropping to the subject. Ready-to-run examples in curl, Python, Node.js and PHP are in the guides.
