What it does
The remove.bg API removes the background from photos of people, products, animals or cars, for example to cut out product shots for a web shop automatically. Send a POST request with an image URL, an uploaded file or Base64 data, and get back a PNG, JPG, WebP or ZIP image, or JSON-encoded data. The key goes in the X-Api-Key header. Free with a free API key for the first 50 calls each month; paid plans for more.
