Your image. Your next step.

Transparent output gives you control over what comes next: a new background, a campaign layout, or a product composition.

Before your first request

What does the API return?

The JSON response includes a job_id, status, and output_url containing a base64 data URL. The image is a transparent PNG, ready to save or display.

Can I try it in the browser?

Yes. Sign in and open the Playground to upload an image before adding the API to your application. New accounts receive 20 free credits.

What happens if processing fails?

One credit is reserved when processing starts. If the job fails, the reservation is refunded automatically.

Do I need a white background instead?

Use E-commerce Prep for a product centered on a fixed 2000×2000 white canvas. It costs 2 credits per image.

Start with your own images.
