LassoCut – Remove Background

v1.2.0 · by lassocut

Remove image backgrounds from the Media Library and from WooCommerce product images in one click.

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.

For shops: turn a whole catalogue into clean product photos on a white or transparent background, the look most marketplaces ask for. See white-background product photos for Amazon and background removal for WooCommerce.

Coming from the remove.bg plugin? remove.bg’s self-service API and plugins stop on 1 December 2026. This plugin covers the same jobs in the Media Library and in WooCommerce: install it, connect your LassoCut account, and use its bulk actions.

You need a LassoCut account: sign in at lassocut.com with GitHub or Google and create an API key. Every account gets 50 free previews a month, up to 10 a day; credit packs never expire.

External services

This plugin sends the images you choose to the LassoCut API (https://api.lassocut.com), operated by JAUPIN Design LLC, to remove their background. It only does so when you click “Remove background” or run the bulk action; the settings page also asks the API for your credit balance, and “Connect with LassoCut” asks it for a connection code and then, every 3 seconds for up to 10 minutes, whether you approved it (the key it returns is saved in the plugin settings). Your API key is sent with each request. Images are processed in memory and not stored by LassoCut.
