Photoshop Extension

Remove.bg for Photoshop is an extension to Adobe Photoshop. After installing it, a new menu option is available at Window → Extensions → Remove Background. This shows a button that you can click any time you want to remove the background from the currently opened image (or selection) in Photoshop.

When you click the Remove Background button, the image is processed through the remove.bg API. That's why you need an active Internet connection and an API key (which you can find in your account settings).

Downloading remove.bg for Photoshop is free! To process images you need credits, which can be used for all remove.bg products and integrations. You can find the pricing for credits here.

As a remove.bg user you get 1 free credit for signing up, and 50 free API calls for preview images each month. Since remove.bg for Windows/Mac/Linux utilizes the API that means you can process 50 preview images (up to 0.25 megapixels, e.g. 625x400) with it for free each month.

The extension supports Adobe Photoshop CC 2018 or newer, for Mac and Windows.

Recommended: Go to Adobe Exchange and click the Free button to install the extension. Make sure you have the Creative Cloud Desktop App installed (version 4.6 or later). Note that the installation can take a few seconds and there is no progress display, but you should see a notification once it is finished.

If installing from Adobe Exchange does not work, you can also install remove.bg for Photoshop with an Extension Install Utility. You can find the instructions for this installation method here.
