eBay Unveils Innovative AI-Driven Background Removal Tool for Enhanced Product Images

In a move to enhance the visual appeal of product listings, eBay has launched a cutting-edge AI-powered background removal tool.

This feature, now available for iOS users in the United States, United Kingdom, and Germany, empowers sellers to replace image backgrounds with AI-generated backdrops, elevating the overall visual experience.

This development follows similar initiatives by Amazon and Google, which introduced AI-powered image enhancement tools for advertisers last year. eBay‘s innovative tool utilizes generative AI to remove image backgrounds and replace them with customizable backdrops, such as elegant tabletops or vibrant brand-specific colors.

The background enhancement tool has the potential to significantly benefit sellers who lack the necessary equipment or expertise to produce high-quality product images. It also marks an improvement over eBay’s previous offering, which utilized computer vision technology to provide a simple white background for listing photos.

Powered by the open-source model Stable Diffusion, this AI feature is the latest in a series of innovations by eBay. Last year, the company introduced an AI-driven feature that generates titles and descriptions for product listings, further streamlining the selling process.

As the tool rolls out to Android users in the coming months, eBay continues to demonstrate its commitment to harnessing AI technology to enhance the user experience
