How can I manipulate my image background?
You can make the background transparent, add a background color or you can also get the background blurred. Please find more information on these options here.
The output image has a white background while it was supposed to be transparent. What should I do?
To set a transparent background, please make sure that the image format you choose for output supports an alpha channel (PNG, WEBP, or AVIF) otherwise the background will be white.
I want my product images to look consistent and centered after the background is removed. How can I achieve this result?
With Claid API you can control the surrounding space using padding operation. Please find more information on how to use it here.
What can a background removal API do?
A background removal API can automatically remove or blur the background of images. It can handle various tasks like removing backgrounds completely, blurring backgrounds, changing background colors, and even selectively keeping specific objects in focus. This is useful for creating product images, editing photos, or preparing images for graphic design.
How accurate is the background removal process?
The accuracy of background removal depends on the image and the options you choose. Our API offers different categories like "general", "products", and "cars" to optimize for specific types of images. For even more precision, you can use the "selective" option to specify exactly which object to keep. While it's very accurate for most images, complex images might occasionally need some manual touch-up.
Can I just blur the background instead of removing it?
Yes, our API offers background blurring as well as removal. You can choose between "regular" (Gaussian) blur for a soft effect, or "lens" blur to mimic a shallow depth of field. You can also adjust the blur strength to low, medium, or high levels. This is great for creating depth in product photos or focusing attention on specific parts of an image.
What image formats does your background removal API support?
Our API supports common image formats like JPEG and PNG for input. For output, we recommend using formats that support transparency like PNG, WebP, or AVIF if you're removing the background completely. If you're setting a specific background color or blurring, JPEG can also be used.
How do I integrate the background removal API into my application?
To use our API, you will need to send a JSON request specifying the operations you want to perform. For example, to remove a background, include {"background": {"remove": true}} in your request. Our documentation provides detailed examples for various operations. You will need to sign up for an API key to make requests.
Can I process multiple images at once with your API?
While our API processes one image per request, you can send multiple requests in parallel for bulk processing. This allows you to efficiently handle large numbers of images. The exact number of concurrent requests you can make depends on your subscription plan.
Is it possible to keep certain objects and remove others from an image?
Yes, our API offers a "selective" option for both background removal and blurring. You can specify which object to keep, like "bottle" or "car", and the API will focus on keeping that object while removing or blurring the rest of the image. This is particularly useful when you want to isolate specific products or subjects in an image.
What if I want to change the background color after removal?
After removing the background, you can set a new background color using our API. You can choose "transparent" for a transparent background (useful for PNG, WebP, or AVIF formats), or specify any color using its hexadecimal code. This allows you to easily create product images with consistent background colors or to prepare images for different contexts.
