About this plugin
LassoCut removes the background of your images: products, people, animals, cars and graphics. The subject is detected automatically.
- Media Library: a “Remove background” link under each image (list view), and a bulk action for up to 10 images at a time.
- WooCommerce: a “Remove background from main image” bulk action on Products. The cut-out becomes the product image.
- Your originals are kept. The result is saved as a new image named …-removebg.png next to the original, with the same alt text.
- Transparent or coloured background: a transparent PNG, or a JPG on white (or any colour) for consistent product photos.
- Preview or full size: previews use your free monthly previews first; full size up to 25 megapixels uses 1 credit.
