Every image edited by humans, not by AI

AI photo editing tools can definitely speed things up—but at what cost? Many AI background removers only work with small resolution images, not to mention the time you have to spend manually inspecting each shot to find the inevitable imperfections. Most background removal jobs require some level of human intelligence to distinguish between the product and the background.

When you work with real people like the Path design team, there are no AI tech limitations. Every image is edited to perfection—no missed edges, awkward edits, or leftover background noise. Just pixel-perfect product photos edited by hand, every time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is actally involved in background removal service?

Background removal is when you isolate the subject of a photo and wipe the rest of the image clean. You’re then left with a crisp white background (or a different background). Product photos with white backgrounds have become the industry norm, and many popular online marketplaces require white backgrounds.

Places where background removal can be especially useful:

  • Ecommerce spaces, for selling products online
  • Selling products on online marketplaces like Amazon, eBay, or Etsy
  • In your own online catalog on your site

Having a white background ensures a clean, simple look and makes sure your product is the star of the image.

Image background removal isn’t only for white backgrounds. You can also add a single-color background, or a “contextual” background, like a beach if you’re selling beach towels, for example.

What techniques do you use to remove the background from photos?

There’s no one way to remove backgrounds from images. It depends a lot on the type of subject. At Path, we use clipping paths to remove backgrounds, but there are some cases (especially when your subjects involve hair, fur, or fuzzy borders) when we use advanced Photoshop masking, or image masking.

When it comes to clipping paths, we always go with hand-drawn clipping paths for natural-looking lines that make the products look realistic. We’ll use the Pen Tool in Photoshop to remove backgrounds, and make sure to zoom to capture even the smallest details.

When should I use background removal services?

When to use background removal

  • To comply with requirements of online marketplaces, such as Amazon and eBay
  •  
  • When the background is distracting or takes focus away from the subject of the image
  • To showcase the details of your product and make it stand out
  • To draw attention to an object in the foreground
  • If you need to isolate and show specific features of a product or object
  • Create a uniform background on multiple images, such as a product catalog or ecommerce store
  • To achieve a transparent background

Having a white background ensures a clean, simple look and makes sure your product is the star of the image.

Image background removal isn’t only for white backgrounds. You can also add a single-color background, or a “contextual” background, like a beach if you’re selling beach towels, for example.

How much do background removal service cost?

Background removal pricing depends on the complexity of your image and the techniques we need to use to get the perfect final shot. See the details on image masking and clipping path services for the different pricing categories for each service.

Customer strategy

Spending all day editing sucks the passion out of your work

You need perfect clipping paths and clean photos to attract customers to your products and make them want what you’re selling. But when you’re launching hundreds — or even thousands — of products a week, clipping path edits can take days.

You don’t have to waste all that time in Photoshop doing edits yourself. And you definitely don’t have to stay up too late frantically trying to finish clipping paths on time. We’re betting that’s not what you signed up for when you started doing this work.
