Icons8 Background Remover

Best overall

ObjectCut

For most everyday users, Icons8 Background Remover wins because it offers a simple web interface, supports up to 500 images at once, and works on logos and illustrations — not just photos. ObjectCut is faster and more developer-friendly but lacks a mobile app and is harder for non-technical people to use. The biggest difference: Icons8 is built for designers and casual users, while ObjectCut is built for developers and API-first workflows.

Common questions

Is Icons8 Background Remover better than ObjectCut for a non-technical person?

Yes. Icons8 is much easier — you just drag and drop images in your browser. ObjectCut requires you to use an API or RapidAPI, which is not beginner-friendly.

Can I use ObjectCut on my phone?

No. ObjectCut has no mobile app and no mobile-friendly web interface. You need a computer to use it via API or Photoshop plugin.

Which tool is cheaper for occasional use?

Icons8 is cheaper if you only need a few images — you can pay $0.20 per image or get 3 free. ObjectCut's cheapest paid plan is $10/month for 300 images, which is overkill if you just need one photo.

Can I remove backgrounds from logos with ObjectCut?

ObjectCut works best on photos and e-commerce products. Icons8 is specifically trained on logos, illustrations, and lettering, so it's better for that use case.

Do I need to create an account to use Icons8 Background Remover?

No, for the first 3 images you can use it without an account. After that, you need to sign up to buy credits or subscribe.

Which tool is better for batch processing 1000 product photos?

ObjectCut is better for high-volume automated processing because its API is fast and you can set up a pipeline. Icons8's web interface supports up to 500 images per batch, but you'd need to do multiple batches.

Icons8 Background Remover is the easy choice for everyday users; ObjectCut is for developers and high-volume automation.

If you just want to remove a background from a photo or logo without any hassle, go with Icons8 Background Remover — it's free for a few images and works right in your browser. If you're a developer or run a large online store and need to automate the process, ObjectCut is faster and more scalable, but be ready to work with APIs.
