It's a simple free website that automatically removes the backgrounds from photos in just 5 seconds with a single click.
Simply use the button on the homepage to select a photo from your computer (or you can also enter a photo's URL on the Web). The website then processes the photo and shows the result in moments. Under the result is a button that lets you download it as a PNG image with a transparent background.

20 years ago, my wife and I ran an independent online children's bookstore. Our catalog/shopping cart was, to a large degree, hand-built by me (yay Perl and FoxPro), and the product images (only for monthly features) were scanned from publisher paper catalogs. It was ridiculous levels of effort to clean those images up (especially with Photoshop Elements, we couldn't afford more than that).
It was the best of times (a search on Yahoo or AltaVista had as much a chance of finding us as Amazon when you searched for a title), it was the worst of times (not enough volume to get discounts on rapidly-rising credit card and shipping fees). We got out with a small profit... but I would have loved to have had today's image tools.
