Ideogram has published a comparison of six free background remover tools, naming its own background remover as its first pick for regular cutout work. The test uploaded the same 2048 × 2048 furniture image to Ideogram, Pixelcut, Adobe Firefly and Photoroom, and all four returned 2048 × 2048 transparent downloads. Ideogram's cutout kept the chair, table, books, lamp stem, base and trailing cord, details that Pixelcut and Firefly partly removed, and the downloaded PNG carried no visible watermark. Ideogram says eligible free accounts receive 30 credits each week, with background removal costing one credit in the test and no separate export charge. Its terms permit commercial use of outputs without a paid plan, provided the user holds the necessary rights to the source image. Pixelcut required sign-in for full resolution, and the post notes that free allowances and account requirements vary across the six tools.

## Evidence

Verbatim from https://ideogram.ai/blog/best-free-background-remover-tools:

> Ideogram is our first pick for regular background removal. Eligible free accounts receive 30 credits each week, and background removal costs one credit in our test. Our furniture image downloaded as a transparent 2048 × 2048 PNG, matching the original dimensions.
> 
> We compared the same furniture scene in Ideogram, Pixelcut, Adobe Firefly, and Photoroom, then checked the downloaded files. We also checked Canva’s transparent-export settings using Ideogram’s cutout and tested Photopea’s automatic removal on a separate white-background furniture image. Across all six tools, we reviewed free access, download restrictions, and editing controls.
> 
> TL;DR
> 
> Ideogram offers renewing free credits and delivered a full-size transparent PNG with no visible watermark in our test. Its terms allow commercial use without requiring a paid subscription, provided you have the necessary rights to the image.
> 
> Ideogram, Pixelcut, Adobe Firefly, and Photoroom processed the same furniture image. All four supplied 2048 × 2048 transparent downloads.
> 
> Pixelcut required sign-in for full resolution. Free allowances and account requirements vary across the six tools.
