# How to use Remove Background feature

We have the following services:
1. Removal.AI (recommended)
2. Remove.BG
3. Cutout.Pro
4. Teeinblue built-in feature (**totally free!**) 

**If you choose to use Teeinblue’s background removal, please note:**

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

# 1. Choose a service and create an account
Go to **Teeinblue > Extras > 3rd-party Services >** **Remove Background **> choose a service you want to use from > click Save

Next, if you choose a 3rd-party service, please 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.

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

![Background is removed after photo uploaded](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/6085dc2a7293d800/image_1au2uaw.png)

|| Photo must be JPG/PNG format.

|| 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.
