Remove the background from any image
This API provides a robust solution for automatically removing the background (or foreground) from an image. Any subject/content removed. Multiple file formats supported. Multiple input / output formats.
Submit image as JSON with Base64 or Image URL, or as FormData for easy testing direct from the RapidAPI Console.
Core Functionality:
AI-Powered Background Removal: Automatically removes the background from images, isolating the main subject.
"Reverse" Mode: Allows for the inversion of the background removal, meaning you can choose to remove the foreground instead of the background (controlled by the reverse parameter).
Customizable Background Type: Supports various background types including rgba (transparent), map, green, white, a custom [R,G,B] array, blur, overlay, or even a path to another image.
API Integration Features (Cloud Function Level):
Flexible Input Handling:
JSON Requests: Accepts image data either as a direct image_url or a Base64-encoded image_base64 string.
Multipart Form Data: Supports direct image file uploads.
Boolean Parameter Support: The reverse feature can be controlled via a boolean reverse parameter in JSON requests or a 'true'/'false' text field in form data.
Standardized Error Responses: All API error responses are returned in a consistent JSON format: {"errorCode": "<code>", "errorMessage": "<message>"}.
Direct Image Output: For multipart/form-data requests, the processed image (PNG) is returned directly as the response body, making it easy to integrate into image-focused applications.
JSON Image Output: For application/json requests, the processed image is returned either as a new Base64-encoded string (image_base64) or a URL (image_url) within a JSON response.
E-commerce Product Photography: Automatically remove backgrounds from product images to create clean, consistent visuals for online stores, marketplaces, and catalogs. This helps products stand out and improves the overall aesthetic.
Marketing and Advertising: Create compelling visuals for social media posts, banner ads, and print materials by isolating subjects from their original backgrounds and placing them into new, more engaging scenes.

Content Creation (YouTube, Streaming): Isolate speakers or subjects from their environment for green screen-like effects without needing a physical green screen.
Personalized Gifts and Merchandise: Create custom items like mugs, t-shirts, or phone cases with isolated images of pets, people, or objects.
Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR): Prepare assets for AR/VR applications by extracting objects or characters from their real-world backgrounds for seamless integration into virtual environments.
Photo Editing Apps: Power a key feature in mobile or desktop photo editing applications, allowing users to quickly change or remove image backgrounds.
Animation and Video Production: Prepare still images for animation by separating foreground elements from backgrounds, allowing for independent movement.
