Photoroom review for freelancers

AI photo editor for product images: background removal, retouching and AI backgrounds.

Our review

Photoroom is built for product visuals: removing backgrounds, adding shadows, retouching, resizing and generating AI backgrounds or on-model fashion shots. Its pricing page lists Pro from $7.50 per month billed yearly, with 8,000 AI credits and 1,000 exports a month, and unlimited core tools such as Background Remover, Retouch and AI Expand within fair-use limits. Higher Max and Ultra tiers add the Video Generator and, on Ultra, 4K output. For a freelancer cleaning up catalogue shots for shop owners it can save hours of masking. It is narrower than Canva or Adobe Firefly for general design, and the credit-based AI tools need watching on large batches.

Pros

  • Fast background removal and cleanup for product shots
  • Core tools are not credit-metered on paid plans
  • Low entry price on annual billing

Cons

  • Focused on product imagery, not general design
  • Video Generator and 4K output need higher tiers
  • AI credits and export caps matter on big batches
