PhotoRoom

API

AI-powered API for automatic background removal from images

Overview

The PhotoRoom API provides RESTful endpoints for AI-driven background removal from images. It supports both image uploads (multipart/form-data) and URL inputs, processing visuals to isolate foreground subjects with high accuracy. Responses are JSON-formatted, including links to edited images (PNG with transparency or JPG), cropping options, and metadata. Use cases include enhancing e-commerce product photos, creating clean social media content, integrating background removal into photo editing apps, and generating professional marketing visuals quickly without manual editing.
