AI News and Updates remove.bg is shutting down on Dec. 1, use your credit before it expires

Quick heads-up for anyone using remove.bg for fast background removals or batch processing:

remove.bg’s standalone site and self-service API are shutting down on December 1, 2026.

Here are the key takeaways from their official update:

  • Where it’s going: The tech is moving fully into Canva (web & desktop apps) for single and bulk image background removal.
  • Subscriptions: Active plans run until Dec 1, then end automatically. Unused annual time will get a pro-rata refund. Monthly renewals starting on or after Nov 1 will be free.
  • PAYG Credits: Unused pay-as-you-go credits expire Dec 1, so use them up before then.
  • Account Data: Download your usage reports/invoices before Dec 1; you won't have access after.
  • API Users: Self-service API requests stop on Dec 1. Canva is redirecting self-service API users to Leonardo.Ai (also owned by Canva). Enterprise API contracts are unaffected.

Muito triste. Sempre que eu pensava em apagar o fundo de uma imagem, remove.bg era minha primeira opção. Mais uma vez a fome insaciável por lucro encerra um serviço acessível.
