Background removal

Isolate the main object in the image and remove the background

bg_remove=1

Background removal automatically detects the foreground object and isolates it by removing the background of an image using advanced AI technology. It can help you create a solid or transparent background for your pictures. This can give your application or website an overall polished look. Moreover, product images with a clear-defined foreground can be indexed better in search engines which rely on AI classification.

Please keep in mind that the background removal operation is asynchronous which means that the first request will return the original image (with short cache value) while the image is being processed in the background. The status is checked on each consecutive request and after the operation is complete, the origin image is replaced and the standard caching settings are set.
