A free alternative to SnapEdit background removal
SnapEdit is aimed at mobile users who want quick object removal and background removal without opening a desktop editor. The free tier is usable but ad-supported and capped. The paid tier removes ads and unlocks higher resolution. If you want the same output without ads or the app install, Remova runs in a mobile browser.

Common questions
Is SnapEdit's cutout quality good?

Can I use SnapEdit offline?
SnapEdit requires an internet connection for most features. Remova's manual mode works locally, but automatic mode also needs a connection.
What about SnapEdit's object removal?
SnapEdit has an object removal feature. Remova's manual editor has an object removal tool as well, using the same inpainting approach.
