BatchRemover vs Adobe Express

Based on our own testing, Adobe Express doesn't require an account to process a single image, but does require sign-in to download the result. Batch background removal is available through Adobe's separate Firefly Creative Production workflow, which requires a paid plan and bills by generative AI credits. Competitor pricing and features can change — always double-check on their site before deciding.
Why people switch to BatchRemover
Adobe Express handles single images well. The catch shows up at the download button, and batch processing lives in a separate paid product.
No account needed to download
Upload, process, and download without creating an Adobe account or signing in first.
No watermark, ever
Every download, free or paid, comes out clean. No logo, no diagonal text stamped across your image.
Batch processing in the same tool
Process up to 60 images in one batch on paid plans, instead of switching to a separate credit-metered product.
PNG, JPG, or WebP export
Choose the format that fits where the image is going, right before you download.
Background replace & resize built in
Swap in a solid color or a custom background image and adjust the canvas size, without switching tools.
Simple per-image pricing
Credits are priced per image, from $0.04 each on the largest plan, instead of generative AI credits that vary by task.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is BatchRemover really free, or is there a catch?
Single-image background removal is free: full original resolution, no watermark, no account required. The only thing that requires a paid plan is batch processing more than one image at a time.
How is this different from Adobe Express's free background remover?
Adobe Express lets you upload and process an image without an account, but in our testing, clicking download triggers a sign-in prompt — you need an Adobe account to actually save the result. BatchRemover lets you download a single-image result without creating an account.
Do I need an Adobe account to download my result?
Yes, based on our testing. Adobe Express doesn't require an account to process an image, but it does require you to sign in or register before you can download it.
Can Adobe Express remove backgrounds from multiple images at once?
Yes, but not on the free plan and not inside the Adobe Express editor itself. Adobe added a batch workflow through a separate product, Firefly Creative Production, which requires an Adobe Express Premium subscription ($9.99/month or $99.99/year) and bills using generative AI credits rather than a flat per-image rate.
Does BatchRemover do anything Adobe Express doesn't?
Single-image downloads don't require an account, and batch processing happens in the same tool at a flat per-image rate instead of a separate credit-metered product.
Is there anything Adobe Express does better?
Yes: Adobe Express includes a much broader design and template suite, plus integration with the rest of Adobe's Creative Cloud apps. If you need those on top of background removal, Adobe Express is the stronger fit. BatchRemover focuses specifically on fast, high-resolution background removal and batch processing.
Can I remove backgrounds from multiple images at once?
Yes, on a paid plan: up to 30 images per batch on one-time credit packs, or up to 60 images per batch on yearly plans.
