How to remove the background from 500 photos at once
Put all 500 photos in one folder, drop the folder onto AwaCut, and let it cut them on your machine at roughly 5 seconds per image: about 42 minutes on an Apple Silicon Mac, fully offline. Then export everything as transparent PNGs in one click at the original resolution. No uploads, no credits: the licence is $29/year with unlimited images.
1. Put everything in one folder
AwaCut takes folders, not file selections. Subfolders work too, so a whole catalog or a season's shoot can go in one drop.
2. Drop it on the app
The queue starts immediately: each photo is segmented on your machine by the embedded model. Nothing is uploaded, so 500 full-resolution product shots never crawl through your upstream bandwidth.
3. Check, then export once
Spot-check a few edges with the before/after slider, pick PNG on Alpha (or pure white for marketplaces), choose an export folder, and export every finished cutout in one click.
The arithmetic
At about 5 seconds per image, 500 photos take roughly 42 minutes of machine time and none of yours. Metered web tools price this exact job per image, and browser-based tools struggle to hold 500 originals in a tab at all. The full price math across pricing models is in the cost study:
Do I need to keep the app open the whole time?
Yes, but that is all. Processing is local and continues while you work on something else, and you can stop and resume any time: finished cutouts are kept.
What does it cost to process 500 photos?
On AwaCut, nothing beyond the flat $29/year licence, whether you run 500 photos once or every week. On per-image credit pricing the same job computes to real money every month: the cost study below has the exact math.
Do 500 exports keep the original resolution?
Yes. AwaCut segments at full resolution and exports at the original size: a 4,500-pixel photo exports at 4,500 pixels, with a real alpha channel.
