PixelAPI is a REST API for AI-powered product photography and image editing. It lets you remove backgrounds, generate AI lifestyle scenes, upscale images, restore faces, remove objects, and generate images from text — all via simple API calls. We run on our own hardware, making us up to 80% cheaper than alternatives.
Background removal costs 2 credits per image. On the Starter plan ($10/mo for 10,000 credits), that's just $0.005 per image — compared to $0.07–$0.20 on remove.bg. You can remove up to 5,000 backgrounds per month on Starter.
Upload your product image and provide a text prompt describing the scene you want (e.g., "product on marble table, soft studio lighting"). We automatically remove the background and generate a new AI scene, placing your product naturally in it. Costs 25 credits ($0.025) per image.
We accept JPEG, PNG, and WebP uploads. Background removal outputs transparent PNG. All other operations output high-quality PNG or JPEG. Maximum input size is 10MB, and images can be up to 4096×4096 pixels.
Background removal typically completes in 2–3 seconds. AI background replacement takes 5–10 seconds. Image generation with FLUX takes 3–5 seconds. Upscaling depends on image size but usually completes in 10–30 seconds.
