What is Photoroom?
Photoroom specialises in product photography: it cuts the object out of any photo with remarkable precision and generates a new background or scene for it, ready to publish on an online store or a marketplace. It works in batches, has per-platform templates and an API used by retailers with catalogues of thousands of items.
Pros
- Excellent product cut-outs, even with hair, glass or shadows
- Batch processing: entire catalogues in one go
- API with clear per-image pricing ($0.10) for online stores
- Very cheap paid plan for what it solves ($7.50/month)
Cons
- The free plan watermarks output, useless for selling
- No high-resolution export or batches on the free plan
- Very product-focused: not much use for other kinds of images
What Photoroom is like in practice
Where it stands out
It is tuned for one very specific need: product photos for selling online. It cuts out the object, gives it a believable background and generates the variants marketplaces require, all from a phone and in seconds. For a small shop photographing its own catalogue, it replaces a whole studio.
Where it falls short
Outside product-on-background it falls short: it is not a general editor, and with complex scenes, reflections or transparency the cutout fails more than you would like. Generated backgrounds sometimes carry shadows that do not match the object's lighting, and that shows on a product page.
How its pricing works
The free plan delivers watermarked or at low resolution, so it is for testing rather than publishing. Paid tiers run around €10-20/month. The calculation is simple for a shop: if it saves you one photo session a year, it is paid for several times over.
Is Photoroom right for you?
Yes, if…
You sell on marketplaces and need product photos that meet the requirements: it cuts out precisely even hair or glass, and processes whole catalogues in batches.
No, if…
You want to use it free for selling: the free plan watermarks images, so it is not usable for publishing. And outside product photography it is of limited use.
Frequently asked questions
Is Photoroom free?
It has a free plan with 250 exports a month, but watermarked and without high resolution or batches, so it is not usable for publishing to marketplaces. The Pro plan costs $7.50/month.
Is it good for selling on Amazon or eBay?
Yes, that is exactly its use case: it generates clean backgrounds that meet marketplace image requirements, as long as you use a paid plan without the watermark.
Does it have an API?
Yes, at $0.10 per generated image, with a free 10-credit sandbox to test the integration.
