What Photoroom's Free Tier Includes

Photoroom is a mobile-first AI photo editing app with a web version. It offers background removal, background replacement, and product photo editing features.

The free tier provides access to Photoroom's core AI tools with the following known restrictions:

  • Watermark on exports — All free tier images include a Photoroom watermark
  • Resolution limits — Full resolution requires a paid plan (verify current limits at photoroom.com/pricing)
  • Batch processing — Limited or unavailable on the free tier

The Watermark Problem for E-Commerce

Marketplace policies universally prohibit watermarks on product images:

PlatformWatermark policy
AmazonProhibited on main image — causes listing suppression
ShopifyStrongly discouraged — reduces buyer trust
EtsyAllowed on additional images, discouraged on main
eBayProhibited on main listing image

A Photoroom watermark on a free-tier export makes it non-compliant for the main product image on Amazon and eBay.

Workflow Recommendation

If you need e-commerce-ready product images without watermarks:

  1. Try SimplyPNG guest mode — 1 free removal/month, no signup, no watermark, 1024px output
  2. Register for SimplyPNG free — 5 credits/month, no payment required, 1024px output
  3. Upgrade to paid if you need higher resolution (4096px) or batch processing

For Photoroom specifically: if you are already using Photoroom Pro for its design features, continue using it — but verify the exported background is exactly RGB 255,255,255 before uploading to Amazon using the Marketplace Image Checker.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Photoroom's free plan add a watermark?
Yes. As of this page's last verification, Photoroom's free plan adds a Photoroom watermark to exported images. Marketplace product images on Amazon, Shopify, Etsy, and eBay prohibit watermarks, logos, and branding not belonging to the seller. Check photoroom.com/pricing for current plan details.
Can I use Photoroom free tier images on Amazon?
No. Amazon's main image policy prohibits text, logos, watermarks, and branding that is not part of the product being sold. A Photoroom watermark on a free-tier export would cause the listing to be non-compliant. You would need Photoroom Pro (no watermark) or a watermark-free alternative.
What is the maximum resolution on Photoroom's free plan?
Photoroom's free tier resolution limits can change. For current specs, see photoroom.com/pricing. SimplyPNG's free tier outputs at 1024px without watermark. SimplyPNG's paid plans (from $2.98/month) output up to 4096px (HD mode).
Does Photoroom support batch background removal?
Photoroom Pro offers batch processing. The free tier is designed for single-image use within the app. For current Photoroom batch limits, see their official documentation. SimplyPNG supports batch processing on all paid plans: 10 images/batch (Basic), 25 (Plus), 50 (Pro/Creator/Studio).
Does Photoroom have a web version or is it mobile-only?
Photoroom offers both a mobile app (iOS, Android) and a web version. The web version's feature set may differ from the mobile app. For current web capabilities, see photoroom.com.
Does Photoroom offer an API for background removal?
Photoroom offers an API for developers. For current API pricing and capabilities, see their official API documentation. SimplyPNG's REST API is available on all paid plans and API-specific credit packages — see /docs for the full API reference.
What does SimplyPNG's free tier offer that Photoroom's free tier does not?
SimplyPNG's free tier provides: no watermark on exports, no account required for guest use (1 credit/month), and up to 1024px output. The tradeoff is lower output resolution (1024px on free vs. paid plans). For marketplace compliance workflows requiring higher resolution, SimplyPNG Basic costs $2.98/month for 40 credits at up to 4096px.
Is Photoroom good for Amazon product images?
Photoroom can produce clean white backgrounds suitable for Amazon compliance. However: (1) the free tier exports with a watermark (not compliant for Amazon); (2) you should verify the output background is exactly RGB 255,255,255 using the free Marketplace Image Checker at /en/tools/marketplace-image-checker before uploading.
What should I check after removing background with any tool?
Before uploading to Amazon: (1) verify background is exactly RGB 255,255,255 using the Marketplace Image Checker at /en/tools/marketplace-image-checker; (2) confirm no watermark or logo is present; (3) confirm the product fills ≥85% of the frame; (4) confirm the image is at least 1000px on the longest side (1600px+ recommended).
Does SimplyPNG have watermarks on any tier?
No. SimplyPNG does not add watermarks on any tier, including the free tier and guest mode. All exports are clean, ready for marketplace upload without modification.
Where can I verify Photoroom's current pricing and plan features?
