Ehsan's Growth Take

Remove.bg was a revelation when it launched. In 2026, Clipdrop and native Photoshop AI do background removal nearly as well at lower cost. Remove.bg still has the best edge accuracy on difficult images (hair, glass, smoke), but for most marketing use cases, cheaper alternatives are good enough.
