What is Photoroom?
Photoroom is an image editing platform for businesses that sell products online. It starts from an ordinary product photo and turns it into a visual ready for a listing: the background is cut away, a new scene or shadow can be generated, and the result is resized to suit Instagram, Amazon, Shopify and other channels. Clothing can be recoloured or shown on AI fashion models, and a single shot can become a short video. A Brand Kit stores colours, logos, fonts and layouts and applies them automatically. The same edits can run across thousands of images in one job, in the web app or through an API, and an MCP connector is listed too. Photoroom has iPhone, iPad, Android and Shopify apps, and an enterprise tier with custom models, SSO and SOC 2 Type 2 compliance.
Key Features
Background Remover
Isolates the product from its photo so it can sit on a plain white backdrop or be exported with transparency.
AI Product Scenes
Places a product into generated lifestyle or seasonal settings and adds shadows so it looks grounded in the scene.
Batch Editing
Applies one set of edits to hundreds or thousands of images in a single job, started from the web app or the API.
Brand Kit
Saves colours, logos, fonts and layouts and applies them to each new image so every channel looks the same.
Resize and Video
Reformats one image for channels such as Instagram, Amazon and Shopify, and turns product shots into short videos for Reels, TikTok and Stories.
API and Integrations
Provides a Remove Background API and an Image Editing API, plus an MCP connector and publishing to Shopify.
