Your first request in 5 minutes
Sign up and grab an API key
Create a developer account at /workspace. Your API key is shown in the developer dashboard. Keep it secret — treat it like a database password.
POST an image to the /remove endpoint
Send a multipart/form-data POST with the image file and an optional background colour. The response is a transparent PNG.
Process the response in your app
Pipe the response stream to your storage bucket, attach it to a product record, or send it to your designer's Slack.
