Photoshop plugin
Remove backgrounds without leaving Photoshop
Select a layer and click once. The plugin adds a copy of your layer with an editable layer mask, so you can fine-tune the edges. It uses the same credits as this page.
Requires Photoshop with the Adobe Creative Cloud app. Works on Mac and Windows computers.
How to install
- Double-click the file you downloaded. Creative Cloud installs it.
- You may see a note that the plugin isn't from the Adobe Marketplace. That's expected since we created it and don't sell it on Adobe Marketplace. Click Install.
- In Photoshop, go to Plugins → Ashe Background Remover → Background Remover.
- Copy your key and paste it into the plugin. You only do this once.
- Using more than one computer? Download and install it on each one, and paste the same key.

Log in to see your key. You'll paste it into the plugin once.
Frequently asked questions
Is this an alternative to the remove.bg Photoshop plugin?
Yes. The remove.bg plugin for Photoshop won't be available after December 1, 2026. Our plugin does the same job: select a layer and click once. It adds an editable layer mask so your original photo is never changed and you have complete editing control.
Who is this for?
Photographers, designers, and anyone who cuts people or products out of photos. It's built for Photoshop users who want clean cutouts for posters, banners, and composites without leaving Photoshop.
What is a credit?
One credit removes the background from one image. Your credits are shared with Photo Studio by Ashe Design, so you can use them on this page, in the Photoshop plugin, and in our other Photo Studio tools.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. New customers get 3 free credits to try any Photo Studio tool, including Remove Background. We ask for a card to prevent abuse, but you won't be charged. One free trial per account.
What kinds of photos can I use?
JPG, PNG, WebP, TIFF, and iPhone (HEIC) photos, up to 100 MB each. Your photo comes back at its full original size.
Can I upload a whole folder of photos?
Yes. Drop a folder (or several photos) on the upload box, or click Choose a folder. You can do up to 200 photos at a time. You'll see how many credits it needs before anything starts, and each photo uses a credit only when it's finished. When they're done, download them all as a ZIP with the same file names.
What do I get back?
A PNG with a see-through background, ready to drop into your designs. In Photoshop, the plugin adds a copy of your layer with an editable layer mask instead.
Does a failed result use credits?
No. Credits are only used when your result comes back successfully. If a blend or photo can't be finished, its credits are returned to your account automatically.
How does the Photoshop plugin work?
Download and install the plugin, then copy your plugin key from this page and paste it in. In Photoshop, go to Plugins → Ashe Background Remover → Background Remover, select a layer, and click once. The plugin adds a copy of the layer with an editable layer mask. It uses the same credits as this page.
Can I use the plugin on more than one computer?
Yes. Install it on each computer and paste the same key. Every computer uses the same credits.
Is this included with All Access?
No. Photo Studio by Ashe Design, including Remove Background and the Photoshop plugin, is separate from the All Access membership.
Where do I manage my plan, billing, and refunds?
On the Photo Studio Credits page or in My Account. That page also has plans, add-on credits, and answers about billing. See our refund policy.
