Teeinblue provides an integration with 3rd-party services to automatically remove background of the photo customers upload.

We integrate with:
Removal.AI (recommended)
Remove.BG
Cutout.Pro

Check out their website to choose the suitable service for you.

1. Choose a service and create an account

Go to Teeinblue > Extras > Extra services > choose a service you want to use from > click Save


Next, go to their website to create an account. These are 3rd-party services so you'll need to have your own account and subscribe to their plan.

Here are some exclusive deals for Teeinblue users provided by these parties.

Removal.AI: use code TEEINBLUEHAPPY to get 40% lifetime discount for monthly subscription (read more here: How to get exclusive discount of Removal.ai for Teeinblue users )

Cutout.pro: click this link to get 200 pay-as-you-go credits (no expiration) OR this link to get 2000 subscription credits for the first month

Attention: All services charge based on number of images used. Each time a customer uploads a photo, it'll count as one credit. So choose a plan that is suitable for your store's usage.

2. Connect API Key

After signing up one of the background remover above, you need to find the API key of your account in their service.

For removal.AI, you can find API key in My account page.



After copying the API key, go to Teeinblue > Extras > General settings > Remove Background Service > choose the service you use > paste the API key

For remove.bg, you can find API key in My dashboard page > API Keys > + New API Key




For Cutout.Pro

After signing up for an account, you need to find the API key of your account in their service.
From your User Panel, navigate to API Key section to find your API Key



After copying the API key, go to Teeinblue > Extras > General settings > Cutout.pro - Photo Effects service > and paste the API key there

3. Enable Remove background in Artwork

Go to Artwork editor > edit an image layer
In Personalization Options, choose Upload photo
Enable toggle "Remove background of uploaded photo"



Then on store, after customers upload a photo, the background of the photo will be removed.



Photo must be JPG/PNG format, and size up to 12mb (limit from 3rd-party services). If your customers upload a photo bigger than 12mb, its background cannot be removed.

If your account in remove.bg/removal.ai runs out of credits, then customers can still upload photo but no background removed.

There's no notifications from the background remover service when your account runs out of credits, so you should keep an eye on your credits.
