## Description
**bgready – AI Background Remover for WooCommerce** is an AI cutout tool for product
photography — it removes backgrounds from WooCommerce product images so you can
publish clean cutouts, white or branded backdrops, and marketplace-ready canvases.
It is **not** an image compression or “optimization” plugin: it does not resize/
compress your media library to save disk space; it creates new cutout renders via
[bgready Studio AI](https://bgready.com/).
* Bulk and automatic background removal when you save a product (featured / gallery
images)
* White, transparent, or custom backgrounds plus marketplace-ready canvas (padding
and output size)
* Soft shadows and optional watermarks on the rendered result
* Per-product overrides in the product meta box (Process / Reprocess / Restore);
originals are always kept
* Signed job webhooks deliver results without waiting for WP-Cron (polling is only
a fallback)
* WooCommerce Settings bgready: API key, defaults, live sample preview, catalogue
reprocess
* Bulk action on Products and Media Library; new attachments named `-
nobg.png|jpg|webp`
* Respects API rate limits (429 Retry-After) and pauses on insufficient credits(
402)
Requires a free or paid bgready account at [bgready.com](https://bgready.com/).
Operated by [Codepower OÜ](https://codepower.io/) (Estonia). Reviewer / ownership
contact: info@codepower.io.
### External services
This plugin connects to the **bgready** service to remove backgrounds and render
product images.
* **What is sent:** product image files you choose to process, render options (
background, canvas, watermark, output size/format), and (when you use Test connection/
Report a problem) shop URL, WordPress/WooCommerce/plugin versions, and optional
feedback text. A signed webhook URL for this site is registered so results can
be delivered.
* **When:** only after you save an API key and start a process / test / report
action. No background telemetry or tracking.
* **Service:** https://api.bgready.com/ (and the API base URL you configure)
* **Terms of Service:** https://bgready.com/terms/
* **Privacy Policy:** https://bgready.com/privacy/

## Installation
1. Install from Plugins Add New, or upload the `bgready-background-remover` folder
to `/wp-content/plugins/`.
2. Activate the plugin (WooCommerce 8+ must already be active).
3. Open WooCommerce Settings bgready, paste your API key, and click **Test connection**(
registers the signed callback).
4. Optionally enable automatic processing and tune customisation defaults.
5. Open a product and use the **Background removal (bgready)** meta box, or select
products / media items and choose **Remove background (bgready)**.
**Upgrading from the private 1.5.x zip (`bgremove-for-woocommerce`):** activate
this plugin, then deactivate and delete the old one. Your API key and settings are
kept (same `bgremove_*` options). The REST callback path stays `/wp-json/bgremove/
v1/callback`.
## FAQ
### Are original images deleted?
No. Keep original is always on. Results are new Media Library attachments. Restore
original switches the product slot back without deleting files.
### Does preview cost credits?
Preview downloads are free (≤ ~500×500 px for square). Full-resolution output uses
1 credit per image.
### What happens when I run out of credits?
The queue pauses and an admin notice links to the bgready pricing page. Resume after
topping up.
### Why did nothing change after I saved a new colour?
Existing products keep their old results until you reprocess. After saving settings,
use **Reprocess catalogue** (or Reprocess on a product).
### Does this plugin track my shop?
No. It only talks to bgready when you configure an API key and process images (or
use Test connection / Report a problem). See External services above.
### Who operates this plugin?
[Codepower OÜ](https://codepower.io/) (Estonia). Ownership / reviewer contact: info@
codepower.io.
### I already installed the older “bgremove for WooCommerce” zip
Activate this plugin from WordPress.org (or this zip). Settings migrate automatically.
Then remove the old plugin folder.
