Maskmill offers two distinct services: manual background removal — done by hand using clipping paths or image masking, whichever technique best fits each image, priced in Easy/Medium/Advanced tiers — and a separate AI background removal service, which is fully automated and delivered instantly. Hourly editing is also done by hand. Choose manual if precision hand-finishing matters more than speed; choose AI background removal if you want an instant, automated result.
Services & Pricing
Background removal with AI
You get 2 finished image versions very quickly: a 2000px png image with a transparent background and a masked max. 50 megapixel file with the background of your choise.
Registered users can also use artificial intelligence to crop images and receive full-size files with both colored and transparent backgrounds.
And while AI is already really good, it's not perfect yet. So if the need arises, with us you can easily (for a separate fee) send your images to be finished by hand.

Clipping paths and Alpha masks
Clipping path is a hand made path created with Photoshop's Pen tool. Everything inside the path is opaque and everything outside the path is transparent.
Photoshop Alpha-masks can be used if the edges are not well defined or are very complicated (as hair). Masked images are delivered as TIF or PSD files, mask in turn stored as a separate Alpha-channel.
See our Help for more info about clipping paths and Alpha-masking.
