Remove Image Background

This operation calls Remove.bg to strip the background out of an uploaded image, returning a processed image (typically as a transparent PNG) with the subject isolated -- the core function the whole product is built around.

Request and response

The request sends the source image (either as a direct upload or a URL) along with optional output settings such as size and background color. The response returns the processed image, ready to store or pass into the next step of an automation.

Where this fits in a workflow

This is commonly used in product photography pipelines, user-generated content moderation, and any workflow that needs a clean subject cutout without manual editing in Photoshop. Keeping the original image identifier attached to the result lets downstream steps reference the correct output.

Use cases

Remove.bg enables automated background removal within workflows. This supports asset preparation for catalogs, product imagery, and media pipelines.
