Background Removal, and What to Do With the Space It Leaves Behind
Background removal on Fluxx.work costs 2 credits, against 12 credits for a generated image or a 10-credit gallery edit. The 95-credit ₹475 Starter pack works out at ₹67.86 an image, falling to ₹37.82 on the 7,936-credit ₹24,999 Agency pack. Amazon.in main images need pure white with at least 1001 px on the longest side.

Key facts
- Removing a background is 2 credits, a standard edit is 10 credits and a generated image is 12 credits, so a 7-image listing set of 1 hero plus 6 gallery shots costs 84 credits.
- Adding QA verification costs 12 more credits per image; 4K output costs the same credits as 1K, credits never expire and failed generations are refunded.
- The 95-credit ₹475 Starter pack covers 7 images at ₹67.86 each, dropping to ₹37.82 an image on the 7,936-credit ₹24,999 Agency pack, or $0.71 down to $0.40 in the USD shown at checkout.
- Amazon.in requires a pure white main image, RGB 255,255,255, at at least 1001 px on the longest side with the product filling at least 85% of the image area.
- Flipkart apparel needs light grey with a soft shadow and Myntra 1080 x 1440 px at 3:4: both state a white background will not be accepted for apparel, and both are SECONDARY, from Fynd integration documentation rather than the platforms' own pages.
The three destinations background removal usually feeds into
Marketplace compliance (pure white for Amazon/Flipkart main images), catalog consistency (normalizing dozens of SKUs shot in different rooms/lighting to one background), and creative production (isolating the product so it can be placed into an ad scene or lifestyle composition). Each destination has different requirements for what replaces the background, which is why background removal is best thought of as step one of a two-step job, not a standalone deliverable.
Who actually needs this, and when
D2C brands consolidating a catalog shot across multiple photographers or time periods, marketplace sellers meeting Amazon/Flipkart image compliance, and performance marketers who need a clean product cutout to build ad creative around are the three most common use cases in practice.
| Operation | Credits | What it returns |
|---|---|---|
| Background remover | 2 | The product isolated with the original background removed |
| Gallery edit | 10 | A tighter edit on an image you already have |
| Generated image | 12 | Background removed and replaced by the destination scene in one step |
| QA verification | +12 | An added verification pass on a generated image |
| Scene recreation | 15 | A new scene built around the product |
| Upscale to 4K | 18 | 4K output at the same credit cost as 1K |

“We used to book a studio every quarter. Now one product photo gives us the hero, lifestyle and detail shots in a single pass, and the catalogue finally looks like one brand instead of six separate shoots.”

“The garment is genuinely the same in every frame — colour, print and trims all hold. That was the part I did not believe until we ran our own SKUs through it.”

“Glass and reflections are where most tools fall apart. Ours come out clean, so we can photograph a new scent the week it launches instead of waiting on a studio slot.”

“Metal finish and stone detail survive a zoom now, which is what our listings actually needed. We stopped reshooting pieces that came back soft.”

“The textures and lighting are so realistic that customers tell us they can almost feel the product. We reshoot far less than we used to.”

Frequently Asked Questions
How many credits does it take to remove a background from one product photo?
2 credits for the removal alone, or 12 credits if you want the destination background generated in the same step instead of exporting a bare cutout. A 7-image listing set built from one source photo totals 84 credits.
Does background removal replace the original white background with something else?
It can: 12 credits generates a new destination scene in the same pass, 15 credits builds a full scene recreation, and 2 credits leaves you the isolated product. Amazon.in needs pure white RGB 255,255,255 at 1001 px or more, while Flipkart and Myntra apparel need light grey.
Can I remove backgrounds across hundreds of SKUs without a per-image price jump?
Yes. At 2 credits a removal, 100 SKUs cost 200 credits against 1,200 credits at the 12-credit generated-image rate. The ₹475 Starter pack holds 95 credits and the ₹24,999 Agency pack holds 7,936.
Do I get a free credit grant to test background removal before paying?
Yes — signup includes 1 free image (12 credits), which is 6 background removals at 2 credits each. A full test runs on the ₹475 Starter pack, which carries 95 credits and covers 7 images at the 12-credit rate, or 47 background removals.
Why Fluxx.work
Fluxx.work treats background removal and destination compositing as one step, so there's no intermediate cutout file to manually finish elsewhere.
