# Best AI-based background removal and image inpainting tools for e-commerce?

<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">I’ve been helping a few e-commerce teams evaluate <a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/categories/ai-image-generators">AI image tools</a> to <strong>speed up product photo editing, </strong>especially background removal, object cleanup, and inpainting to make listings look professional at scale. I went through G2 data and reviews, and here’s what stood out:</p><ul>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/canva/reviews"><strong>Canva</strong></a><strong>:</strong> Offers a very fast AI-powered background remover and simple inpainting tools inside its editor. Ideal for small to mid-sized stores that want polished product shots without hiring a designer.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/akool/reviews"><strong>AKOOL</strong></a><strong>:</strong> Praised for high-quality AI editing, AKOOL’s background removal and inpainting features are especially strong for hyper-realistic product imagery and lifestyle composites.</li>

Early users are trying it for quick background cleanup and simple inpainting tasks directly in the same interface.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/1min-ai/reviews"><strong>1min.AI</strong></a><strong>:</strong> A lightweight option for batch background removal and quick touch-ups. Works well for small merchants who need to process lots of images fast.</li>

</ul><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">Other popular names used for e-commerce editing include <strong>Remove.bg</strong>, <strong>Fotor</strong>, and <strong>Pixlr,</strong> all of which offer AI background removal and some inpainting capability at very low cost. For those of you running e-commerce stores, which AI tool has saved you the most time editing product photos? Do you prefer an all-in-one editor like Canva or more specialized tools like Remove.bg?</p>

&lt;p&gt;Also, for those editing product images at scale, are you sticking with the free versions of these AI tools or paying for the premium plans? Curious if the paid tiers actually give you noticeably better background removal and inpainting quality.&lt;/p&gt;
