Background removal API

Cut a building or a product out of its photo onto a transparent background, ready to place on a site plan, a brochure or a catalogue page.

A museum building before and after its background is removed

One field

Send kind bg-remove and the image; there is nothing else to set.

Buildings and products

Cut out a facade, a whole building, a piece of furniture or a product shot.

From a render or a photo

Send any image, or pass a render you just made by its job id.

Webhooks

Get a signed event when the job settles instead of polling.

One request

Start with a single call

Every call returns a job. Poll it, wait on it, or add a webhook and hear when it settles. The SDKs for TypeScript, Python, PHP, Go and .NET send the same request.

Questions

What comes back?

The subject on a transparent background, at a signed link you download when the job succeeds.

Does it work on products as well as buildings?

Yes. It cuts out a building or a product, from a render or a photo.

What images can I send?

Any JPEG, PNG or WebP up to 15 MB, sent as a public link, as base64 or as the file itself, or a finished job of yours by its id, with nothing to download first.

How is it priced?

Prepaid, pay as you go. Top up any amount from $10 to $5,000 and each call draws its listed price from your API wallet. Your first top-up adds $5 free. There is no subscription.
