Image services

This page documents web services useful for image manipulation during web development. No installation is required.

remove.bg

remove.bg is a web service that automatically removes the background from an image. It also exposes a REST API.

Usage

Upload an image on the website or call the API.

Before and after background removal with an image service

Set the REMOVE_BG_API_KEY environment variable first, then call the API:

curl -s -X POST https://api.remove.bg/v1.0/removebg \
  -F "image_file=@photo.jpg" \
  -F "size=auto" \
  -H "X-Api-Key: ${REMOVE_BG_API_KEY}" \
  -o no-bg.png

Limits and privacy

  • The free tier processes a limited number of images per month at reduced resolution.
  • Images are transmitted to and processed on remove.bg servers. Do not upload images that contain personal data or confidential content.
  • For sensitive images, use GIMP locally instead.
