Manual selection eats hours
Refine Edge in Photoshop, the magic wand, channel masks — the technique you teach assistants is also the bottleneck on a 50-shot delivery. AI cutout handles 80% in two seconds.

the delivery pipeline
Get out of Photoshop for the boring part. Drop the shoot, pull cutouts, deliver the package with the studio's mark intact. Free for one-off, Pro for batch delivery.
— Why photographers use inkurs
Inkurs lives in the part of your workflow where you'd otherwise be selecting subjects in Photoshop for 40 minutes. The free tier handles individual hero shots; Pro batches the catalog work. The model is tuned on the cases generic removers fail at — flyaway hair, jewelry chains, fabric texture, reflective product surfaces.

The real pain
of background work.

Generic AI tools blow edges
Photoroom and removebg work for portraits but soften jewelry, fur, and intricate textures. Inkurs is tuned for product and editorial shots.
— 03
Client deliverables need transparency
Designers ask for 'on transparent' alongside the on-white version. Inkurs delivers both from a single upload, with alpha-channel correctness.
— 04
Per-image fees on bulk pipelines
Removebg charges per-image after free credits. For a wedding album or product catalog, that's a meaningful cost. Inkurs Pro is $3/month flat with a generous quota.

— Common questions
FAQ.
Is the cutout quality acceptable for editorial and commercial work?
For most product, portrait, and commercial shots — yes. For very fine fashion editorial (smoke, sheer fabric, motion blur), some manual cleanup in Photoshop may still be faster than starting from scratch, but inkurs handles 80% of the work in two seconds.
How does inkurs compare to Photoshop's Select Subject?
Faster on simple cases, similar accuracy on hard cases. Photoshop's Refine Hair still wins on extreme cases like fluffy backlit hair, but inkurs catches more on the first pass for typical commercial work.
Will it preserve depth-of-field on out-of-focus subjects?
Yes — the alpha channel correctly tapers on soft, out-of-focus edges. Out-of-focus subjects don't get artificially sharpened or hard-edged at the cutout boundary.
Is inkurs really free with no signup?
Inkurs is free for single-image use with no account, no email, no watermark, and no daily limit. Pro at $3/month adds bulk uploads and API access. The single-image tool stays free, forever.
Do you store or train on my uploaded images?
Inkurs deletes both the uploaded file and the processed output from its servers within 60 seconds of your download. We do not train AI models on user images, share data with advertisers, or retain copies. Privacy policy →
What image formats and sizes does inkurs accept?
Inkurs accepts PNG, JPG, WEBP, HEIC, and BMP files up to 20MB on the free tier. Output is a transparent PNG by default; WEBP is also available. Pro extends the file size cap and adds 8K output.
How does inkurs compare to removebg and Photoroom?
Inkurs gives full HD output free with no signup, while removebg gates HD behind a paid account ($9.99/mo) and Photoroom requires signup for most features ($12.99/mo). Inkurs Pro is $3/month flat. Detailed comparison →
