API

AI-powered API for automatic image background removal

Overview

The Remove.bg API offers RESTful endpoints to upload images via URL or file and get AI-processed results with backgrounds removed. Responses include JSON objects (with links to processed images, mask data) or direct image streams (PNG/JPG). Use cases cover e-commerce product photo editing, social media content creation, app integrations for quick background changes, and graphic design workflows. It supports foreground refinement, transparency preservation, batch processing, and various image formats/resolutions for both small-scale projects and enterprise needs.
