Photoroom

AI product photo editor for background removal and store images

Photoroom is an AI image & video generation tool for E-commerce and Small businesses, offered as freemium ($13/mo). Based in France. Popular alternatives include Voxelo, Magnific (formerly Freepik), SurgePix.

About Photoroom

Photoroom is an AI photo editor focused on product images, built by a Paris-based startup founded by Matthieu Rouif and Eliot Andres. The app launched in 2020, the company raised a $19M Series A and a $43M Series B, Forbes reported a $500M valuation in 2024, and Photoroom says it is profitable. Its core job is to turn a quick phone photo of a product into a clean, consistent image ready for a store, marketplace or ad.

Background removal is a core tool with no credit cost under fair use, while AI credits power AI Backgrounds, AI Fashion Models, Virtual Try-On, Product Staging, Edit with AI and a Video Generator. Batch editing, brand kits and shared Spaces support teams. Paid plans Pro, Max and Ultra differ in monthly AI credits (8,000, 25,000 and 75,000) and exports (1,000, 3,000 and 10,000), all with up to 50 seats; Max adds video and Shopify sync, Ultra adds 4K output. API and MCP usage are billed separately.

It fits online sellers, resale marketplaces and e-commerce teams producing hundreds of product images a month. It is not a general design tool, credit use varies by tool and is hard to predict, and free exports get a watermark once the monthly limit is reached. Canva is better for broad marketing design, Adobe Firefly suits Creative Cloud users who want commercially safe generation, and Recraft is stronger for vector and brand illustration.

Compare billing terms: Pro is $12.99 a month or $89.99 a year, about $7.50 a month. Photoroom also offers an MCP connector, so the editor can be driven from Claude and other AI assistants.
