How to choose Photo Editors tools
Some cover all of these in one place, while others focus on a single job like background removal or upscaling. The main split is between tools with a free plan and those that charge from the start.
PicPicAI and DragGAN AI cost nothing at all. Fotor has a free plan and publishes its paid tiers clearly at $8.99 and $19.99 a month. Photoroom offers a free plan but its higher tiers start at $12 a month, and the top plan requires a sales call. Let's Enhance and Nano Banana 2 have no free plan; Let's Enhance starts at $9 a month billed annually, and Nano Banana 2 starts at $4.99 a month billed annually.
Free plan or paid from day one
Most tools here offer a free plan, but what that plan lets you do varies. PicPicAI is completely free with credits given on sign-up and no expiry on what you earn. DragGAN AI is open-source and free with no plan at all. Fotor's free plan exists but exports carry a watermark and AI credits are limited. Photoroom's free plan caps exports and restricts batch features. Let's Enhance and Nano Banana 2 have no free plan; you pay before editing a single image.
Which jobs each tool actually covers
Background Removal is the most widely covered job here. remove.bg does it and little else, which makes it fast to learn but narrow in scope. Fotor and PicPicAI both handle background removal, image editing, and batch work in one place. Remini focuses on upscaling and restoring old or blurry photos, with face and background enhancement built in. Photoroom is built around product photos: it removes backgrounds, stages products, and processes images in bulk, which suits sellers more than casual editors.
Whether the price is published
Fotor is the clearest: $8.99 a month for Pro and $19.99 a month for Pro+, both shown on the site. Nano Banana 2 publishes $4.99, $11.99, and $44.99 a month billed annually. Nana Banana publishes $6.90, $13.90, $34.90, and $59.90 a month. remove.bg lists a free plan at $0 but does not say what the Pro plan costs. Remini and Photoroom both send you to a sales call for their top tiers. If knowing the price before you sign up matters, start with Fotor or Nano Banana 2.
6 questions
Frequently asked questions
Which photo editor tools are completely free?
PicPicAI and DragGAN AI cost nothing. PicPicAI gives credits on registration and those credits never expire. DragGAN AI is open-source with no plan or payment required. Fotor, Photoroom, remove.bg, and Remini all have free plans, but those plans limit exports, credits, or features.
Which tools are good for removing image backgrounds?
remove.bg is built entirely around background removal and handles large sets of images at once. Fotor, PicPicAI, Nana Banana, and Photoroom all include background removal alongside other editing features. Photoroom goes further for product photos by letting you replace the background with an AI-generated scene. remove.bg's Pro plan price is not published, so you need to check the site for the current cost.
Which tools help restore old or blurry photos?
Remini is the most focused option here: it sharpens faces, corrects color, and can upscale footage as well as photos. PicPicAI includes an old-photo restoration feature alongside its other tools. AI Photo Enhancer also restores old photos and offers one-time free credits for new users, though its credit system can be hard to predict.
Which photo editor tools publish their prices clearly?
Fotor, Nano Banana 2, Nana Banana, and Photoroom all publish at least some prices. Fotor's Pro plan is $8.99 a month and Pro+ is $19.99 a month. Nano Banana 2 runs from $4.99 to $44.99 a month billed annually. Remini and remove.bg do not publish their premium prices; both require you to visit the site or contact sales to find out what you will pay.
Which tools handle editing many images at once?
Batch editing is supported by Fotor, PicPicAI, Nana Banana, Photoroom, remove.bg, and Let's Enhance. Photoroom is built for high-volume work and its highest batch limits sit behind the Max plan at $39 a month or the Ultra plan, which requires a sales call. Let's Enhance starts at $9 a month billed annually and has no free plan, so it costs money before you process a single file.
Which tool suits sellers who need product photos?
Photoroom is the one tool here built specifically for that job. It removes backgrounds, places products in staged scenes, generates virtual models, and processes images in bulk. A free plan exists but limits exports. The Pro plan starts at $12 a month, and the Ultra plan for high-volume teams requires a sales call for pricing.
