Image masking services
Remove backgrounds from hair, fur, and difficult borders
Outsource nitty-gritty photo masking work so you can get back to advanced edits and running your business.
Spending all day editing sucks the passion out of your work
The last thing you want to do after a whole day shooting is sit down and spend hours photo masking so you can put your images onto a white background — especially when you’re dealing with undefined edges like hair or fur.
You want to do the fun stuff, planning shoots or creative retouching, not painstakingly outlining every single strand of hair. The faster you get through all the nitty-gritty edits, the sooner you can get back to the work you love.
When it comes to image masking services, you don’t have to waste time on the most tedious edits — save your brainpower for things that challenge you creatively.

Leave it to the experts

Outsource even your most intricate clipping path projects to Path’s team of experts, starting at 39¢ per image. You can get large batches of images edited faster and cheaper, in as little as 6 hours.
Hand-drawn image clipping paths and careful attention to detail means you get perfect clipping paths and clean photo cut-outs. The cleaner the photos, the more conversions you’ll get.
How much do image masking service cost?
Not all image masking projects are the same, so the rates for each project vary.
Pricing is based on the total number of sections that need masking, the difference between the object and its background, and the background color (because it’s more complicated to separate objects that are similar in color to the background).
Every image is different, but we follow standard pricing guidelines to make sure your rate is always clear and objective, even if you’re working with a different designer. Here’s an overview of the different categories of image masking projects:
1. Simple image masking projects – $1.69 per image
Most images fall into this category — almost 50% of image masking orders at Path. These images are a little more involved than “basic” images because more of the object’s area has furry or fuzzy edges, or the object has complex, smooth edges.






- One person with a head of hair in a photo
- Fur-lined boots
- Jewelry with intricate settings
- Translucent gemstones
- Topiaries and simple floral arrangements in opaque vases
- A single stuffed animal with mostly smooth borders, but some furry edges
2. Medium complexity image masking projects – $2.39 per image
This is the second most common category for image masking projects. These images may have fur or hair covering the entire subject, or contain varying levels of transparency throughout the object’s edges or area.






- Two people in a photo
- A stuffed animal
- A sweater with fuzzy or furry edges
- A wedding veil
- A furry animal, such as a dog, cat, or hamster
- A garment with tulle sleeves or skirt
- Sheer curtains and drapes
3. Complex image masking projects – $8.99 per image
A very small number of image masking projects fall into the super complex category. These images have highly intricate borders and require a variety of image masking techniques.






- Feathers
- Large groups of people
- Pine needles or wreaths
- Transparent or translucent objects shot against a multi-colored background
