Photoroom: AI Photo Editor Reviews

by Kim, A Poshmark Seller

Since your new update, I cannot as easily batch edit my photos. I’ve tried many apps and this one has been the best but I don’t understand why the format for batch editing needed to change. Before I would edit the picture and apply to many and background too would carry over to all and now you have to select a background to the photos twice and it is slower and not as intuitive. Also It works with maybe 8-10 photos and now Photoroom crashes if you select more. Essentially adding time to what used to be simple job. This company needs to remember that when they offer a paid app, a small business has invested money for the extra ease and has built it into their business model and relies on it but when the ease goes away it is a huge wrench put into your workflow. this app, I look forward to you improving so I don’t have to leave you. Thanks

The previous update was wonderful as far as changing the batch layout. Being able to change the background of all photos at once was super convenient.

I use the black background frequently and it used to be right on the main batch page at the bottom making it very easy to change everything to the black background at one time. The latest update took that away and I now have to backtrack to the main Layout page and scroll clear to the end to find the black background.

The bigger issue though is when I did a batch photo and changed it to all black background, the pictures were downsized dramatically. When I uploaded them to eBay they looked tiny and I had to manually crop them three different times in order to blow the image back up to size. This is a dealbreaker and has to be fixed. Photoroom is useless to me if I have to manually crop every photo once they are uploaded to eBay in order to get them to the correct size.

Strangely this only happens on the black background. All of the other colored backgrounds are normal sized but when you scroll to the end and look at the black background, even on the main page for the sample photo it is a downsized image.

I was a huge fan of Photoroom and gladly paid for a year subscription, but then there have been tweaks and changes that began to frustrate me, and now you’ve made changes today that have made this once a simplistic tool I was happy to use into something ridiculous, WHY did you change the format?! Why can I no longer edit my background horizontal vertical levels anymore and WHY did you replace these tools with animated glitches?? This is NOT I paid for, these silly things are useless for the everyday seller, if it’s something people use for social media then make it separate, don’t take away and change the format, plus the layout is now odd and it’s adding my QR code’s automatically and I don’t need or want it…ughhhh! Please change it back so I can use this again! I rarely write reviews and funny enough I had to seek you out unsolicited to leave a review because I’m so pleased! I am using the pro version and so far it’s worth every penny as I use it daily for editing pictures of things I sell online and just for fun creative projects! There are a few quirks here and there but for the most part this is by far the most simplistic (user friendly for all) yet highly capable photo app editor in it’s category so far, keep adding more features and make a desktop version 😁

I’m a content creator and fell in love with Photoroom when I got it. It’s a quick way to isolate objects & people to create fun pieces for my work. However, I noticed that the image quality is horrible on export. The biggest issue is how the text degrades. I could look past the original image, but the text is awful to look at on a computer or iPad screen. Would’ve given 5 stars but image quality is crucial these days, we’re not on Blackberries and Nokias anymore. Photoroom also requires good internet connection which isn’t a major issue, but can be a setback if you’re trying to get something done in bad signal areas. This also means that sometimes I can’t find the layout I want/plan to use because they’re populated per upload. I’d love to give this 5 stars, or even 4. But I need better quality 😭

Until recently, I loved Photoroom. However, recent changes are forcing me to consider abandoning it. It seems to want to remove everything around a person, which for some types of product is not a good thing. I sell a lot of media online and with CDs almost every one has people on it. In the last few weeks, following their updates, havoc has been wreaked upon my product photos.I cringe when I see a CD that has a person on a somewhat white background anymore, something that never happened. In fact, I cringe every time I see a person at all. Whatever recent changes occurred have not been for the better for my product needs. It’s frustrating because I know what Photoroom used to do but I’m left now with what it does currently, which is: causing me to take multiple photographs to finally get one that takes, or sometimes not photograph an inventory item at all because no matter how many times I try to photograph it it won’t take. Very disheartening. If not fixed soon I will be canceling my subscription, which is not something I planned to do. This was my go to app and now it’s virtually unusable.

Updated Photoroom but prefer the old batch mode look. Where I'm editing one and I can still see all the other photos above and can scroll through them instead of having to exit out of my editing and see a full page of photos. The large "apply to others" banner also gets in the way of clicking the other photos when you exit the editing. Also being able to export indivial photos from the batch was great from the previous batch mode layout too.

Used the new batch update and finished editing multiple photo. Photoroom exports most of them to my photo gallery but not all. The ones not exported show an empty X square next to the checked list of exported photos at the end.
(Ex: I edit a batch of 30 photos. Click export to gallery and only 25 show up even though Photoroom shows that all have been exported .)

Overall this still works better than eBay and other editing apps, even after the last round of disastrous updates. I would’ve given 5 stars a month ago, hands down! But now it’s unresponsive to the back arrow at times, is taking 2X longer to scan very simple images (straight lines on a contrasting background) and now EVERY little touch is recognized as a erase or add (red/green functions), even when I’m just pinch-zooming with BOTH fingers. And it totally slows the process. It absolutely did not do that before. It was precise and did not cause me to hit the undo button several times for one photo just for moving it around. Figure out these issues, and I’ll certainly update back to a 5! Thanks!

I don’t bother writing reviews for apps. Seriously, I think this might be my first ever. Needed a tool to give products plain white background. That’s it...you’d think that would be easy to find a good tool for this application but most were either very complicated or the auto object detection was so poor that it took forever to manually clean it up. At that point I might as well just use photoshop.

This tool usually does a pretty good job on the auto detection but most of my images require a little finessing however it’s pretty easy. Sometimes it NAILS it immediately and I do a silent cheer in my head. The only improvement I might suggest (it may already be possible but my tech challenged self hasn’t found it) would be the ability to adjust the degree of opacity when filling in areas that should be filled.

Fantastic tool for me and I am looking at whether the Pro version would offer any significant benefits for the types of editing I am doing. The sub price is much more economical for me than other apps that charge a per photo fee.

This this app App is an absolute must have!! In our 20 years doing photography and eCommerce and product sales this simple app is absolutely the best app we ever found. It’s incredible how clean the edges are when you crop out product images. People or any objects too. FAST, professional, now you can export in .jpg or .png format. At the low price it is, IT IS A MUST HAVE APP. Using Photoroom, we just saved thousands of hours of shooting product photo time. And the appearance of our products never looked better! A ton of fun with personal and all other photo uses. LOVE IT!! X 10 ~ Thanks this app Team. ~ Your this app app is our new best friend. ~ Kate & Tom

I rarely write a review on apps. But it’s really imoressive and I think it’s somehow better than popular ones.
I googled which photo edit app is good the crop the object and replace a background. I tried almoat 7-8 recommended apps. Some require we have to cut the edge of the object which is very difficult and doesn’t result clean cut(as you can imagine). On the other hand, once you upload your photo, Photoroom cuts clean of objects automatically.
Also some apps are free to download but costs you to save the final photos. This is absolutely free!! I strongly recommend this. Especially someone like me, not tech savvt, not good at using complicated function. Whoever developed this, they did a good job👍👍

I am so excited about Photoroom!! I’ve tried sooo many different apps to get a clean white background and most of them are time consuming. Not Photoroom! Plus it even has templates for certain selling apps like Poshmark and Depop and I think some others. But, hands down this is the BEST app for seller’s to make their photos look professional in no time flat. No more constantly tweeking photos for half the day!! Way to go! I hope the good stuff keeps coming! Love love love!! Happy customer here. The only thing, I will probably upgrade to Pro because it does leave their logo in the bottom corner. You can go to mark up on your iPhone to wipe it off tho. But that’s another step.

I never give reviews but I’ve been looking for an app to remove and replace backgrounds, I have downloaded over 15 and none of them have been able to complete this simple task. This is the first and only app I have found that does exactly what I need it to. It’s so easy to use, it also has its section of filters and effects but Photoroom also provides its own shadows as well as numerous layers (again, it’s SO easy to use) that you can change and make look better, there’s also more simple things like blurring and cropping, Photoroom has almost everything I have been looking for. I 100% recommend you download it

by Ashley4k

This is a lifesaver if you have an online business!
It has everything you need to make your photos the way you want them, without all the hassle of setting different scenes up on your own!
The best thing about it is, it’s simple to use, whereas a lot of apps are a pain in the *#%, to use!
If your like me and you just don’t like to take all the photos of you product, because it takes half of your day up… you need Photoroom! I actually look forward to taking the pictures and editing them now!
I 100 percent recommend Photoroom! It’s great even if you don’t have a business. It’s fun to play around with it, and give your photos a new look!!

by Tessira

I absolutely adore Photoroom. What would usually take hours gets cut down to just minutes. It recognizes items extremely well, so you don’t need to go through the tedious process of editing the background and item for a white background. I use Photoroom almost every day for work. I work for a small business shoe company and I have to take photos and put them in a product line sheet for our company. Photoroom is a true life saver (and time saver). I would highly recommend Photoroom.

Photoroom worked flawlessly for months but is now crashing a lot after a recent update. Hopefully that gets fixed soon. Your draft is saved, so you can come back to wherever you were when it crashes.

I’ve tried for 4 years now to find an app that will allow me to easily remove the background for my Poshmark closet listings and Photoroom takes just seconds to the job and even has a number of free additional features that I will use frequently that are amazing!

I’ve only used this for 2 days now and I’m going to go ahead and subscribe for the PRO edition, not because the free version doesn’t do most everything I need it for, but there’s so many additional features I’d love to use that the $10 monthly fee is more than worth it!

I have about 1,000 listings in my Poshmark closet and at least 1,500 more to list and I’m going to update all of my photos this week to finally give me closet a cleaner and more uniform look. It’s completely changed the look of my listings and I can’twait to update the rest of my closet!!

I don’t think I’ve ever wrote a review for any apps before and I had to do it for this one. I sell online and I have downloaded probably 10 or more apps because I was looking to edit my photos and really didn’t like any of them. I happen to come across Photoroom from a YouTuber so I decided to try it out. What a game changer! I was so happy that I bought the Pro Version because this company deserves it! It’s absolutely Amazing! Gives a white background right away or you can add a different background like brick, color, design. Contrast the picture and then contrast the background separately. You can start your picture from square for Poshmark, Instagram size, FB ad size pictures. If too much of the picture was whitened you can paint that back in the picture or erase parts that you want whitened. If you sell online you MUST have Photoroom!!

by Sellerjood

I have NEVER wrote a review for an app partly because I don’t really care about these things but Photoroom is AMAZING. I have used SO many apps in the past to try and get a white background and Photoroom BLOWS my mind. I’m literally screaming inside right now because I’m so happy with Photoroom.
I am a seller and I take pictures of my items and post them online and it’s so hard to get a professional looking white background( Photoroom has MANY different backgrounds but I needed white). Photoroom is so easy to use. Literally I upload the picture and it takes a quick scan of the picture and automatically clears the background for me and gives me other options but I always choose white. Photoroom is actually amazing. You can pay for a premium membership but even the FREE membership is AMAZING.
I am so so happy right now because all my pictures look soo professional props to Photoroom!!

This is great for removing backgrounds. I like the different features it provides. However, there is one little caveat that I dislike about the scanning. Obviously lighting is very key to the scanning process but if your product has a shadow underneath (or maybe it doesn’t) it will remove it. For example, I tried to scan a car. There is enough lighting foe the product to show up all its features including its legs. However, when Photoroom scans, it will leave out one leg or not scan them at all. I’ve read the articles and I don’t see mention of this issue. Unless of course you buy their PRO. Maybe in the near future I may do that, but for now - the features they provide for free are more than enough for what I need. It saves me so much time in removing backgrounds and if it scans and leaves something out then I go to another app to adjust it and come back to this one to remove the rest. Highly recommend Photoroom!

by Ja_Rowles

I really like Photoroom. It quickly became my 3rd most daily used app. Unfortunately I had to cancel my subscription. Not for the cost, even tho it isn’t cheap. When your putting together an image the layers tool is totally in the way and can’t be minimized, moved or customized to a different side place so it when it cover the spot your working on it becomes a pain. Having the layer title always up saying “object” beside the highlighted layer tab Is totally in the way. Then having to begin the process of sending it to get that preview screen just to have to go back and adjust it (With the layer bar still in the way) trying to manipulate it where you want. Having to adjust it and preview again. Totally ruined the experience and adds a layer of difficulty to something that’s already tedious. I’ll still be using Photoroom because it makes my store look great. For anything besides making the background of a single individual item white I’ll have to go elsewhere.

Pleasantly surprised by Photoroom. What you get for a fair price, is a very accurate background eraser and a whole bunch of tools to help you create any layout you desire. The interface is super easy to navigate and within seconds, I had removed the backgrounds from 15 pictures and ended up creating a new facebook profile picture and modified several pictures using their ebay picture tool that made my ebay listings look instantly much more professional. This is such a great app compared to three other background remover apps I tried before this one. First time in a while I feel like I m getting more than expected from an app that can actually really do what it says it can. TRY IT.

by VannaRae98

I would definitely give Photoroom 5 stars if it wasn’t so irritating. I can’t seem to swipe through the backgrounds without it “freezing” and the same is with picking solid backgrounds. I try to use my finger and swipe, but it just seems to be stuck there and I have no choice but to restart Photoroom . After restarting it, it still doesn’t work. I have to keep swiping like a 30 times until it loads. Please fix this issue!!

by EddieWitkowski

Great app for product photography. I’m a pro member. They need two things desperately: a template maker so that I can do a white background with pro cutout automatically. They also need to implement a bulk import. This would be amazzzzing!!

by Ositomini

Got the pro version 1 year to support Photoroom . Just wished it was a 1 time thing instead of the year. Just hope they keep updating it with new goodies if thats the case

by Dissapointed1_5

It’s so easy to give your photos a new background and make them look really cool with Photoroom!

by Iheartdrama

It is the best help for my editing work. The variety and quality is amazing. Thank you

by Shirley Talbott

Heard about Photoroom from Rockstar Flipper Casey and he is right, this is an awesome app for taking great pictures for us resellers. Loving it so far!

by Julien Chaumond

I’ve been a beta user of Photoroom for a while. It’s really cool, I generated awesome pictures and shared them on social media

by MistyMamaMeme

I usually never write reviews but so far, it’s done everything I was looking for!

by Dasseen

I just needed a quick thing to remove the background on a bunch of photos of models from my anatomy lab so it’s easier to study from. This literally is the best app ever you don’t even have to do it manually just upload and it erases the background for you! I’m so happy

by Ella._.123

Great for any e-commerce store! Much better than built in background removers!
It’s very easy to use, most of the time, no additional touch ups needed.

by Toni-czec

Truly is an outstanding app. If the standard cut is not what you want then you can do the HD cut. You will be able to create exquisite artwork and edits using Photoroom. Plus the customer service is top notch!

by BrandonLN

Support for both is here. My go-to for changing the background in photos. The support for iPad, and editing photos using Apple Pencil, makes the high subscription price easier to swallow.

Photoroom really performs. You won’t be disappointed.

by Johnny B10225

One of the easiest photo cut out apps to use by far. The auto cut usually does pretty good, but if there are some details missing you can get them by using the manual cut of the HD cut (requires the pro version of Photoroom ). The monthly subscription price is a little steep if you are only going to be using it a few times a month. Biggest issue is there isn’t an iPad app. Photo Room would be fantastic to use the Apple Pencil with. Dev - is there an iPad app in the works?

by Julianne_lynne

Really easy to use. the free versions auto background removal is pretty accurate if the photo you’re editing has a solid background, hit or miss otherwise and you can’t adjust the cut without paying. Ive been so happy with it, I was just about to buy the free version (and I never buy apps), until I saw the price.... and that it’s monthly. I would have been ok with a $10 one time purchase but add the word monthly and I’ve immediately checked out. There should be another buying option for those who don’t need thousands of templates and aren’t using Photoroom daily.

Thank you so much for making my process quicker!
