🚀 Batch Process Thousands of Images

No batch API needed — use the same endpoints in a loop. Process your entire product catalog overnight for pennies.

Remove backgrounds from 500 product images

import pixelapi, concurrent.futures, pathlib

client = pixelapi.Client("YOUR_API_KEY")

images = list(pathlib.Path("products/").glob("*.jpg")) # 500 images

def process_one(img_path):
    result = client.remove_background(image=open(img_path,"rb"))
    result.save(f"output/{img_path.stem}_nobg.png")
    return img_path.name

# Process 10 images simultaneously
with concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=10) as pool:
    done = list(pool.map(process_one, images))

print(f"✅ Processed {len(done)} images — cost: ${len(done)*0.005:.2f}")

500 images × $0.005 = $2.50 total · remove.bg would charge $35–100

Add shadows to entire catalog

Frequently Asked Questions

What is PixelAPI?

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 efficient operations, making us up to 80% cheaper than alternatives.

How much does background removal cost?

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.

How does the AI background replacement work?

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.

What image formats are supported?

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.

How fast is the processing?

Background removal typically completes in 2–3 seconds. AI background replacement takes 5–10 seconds. Image generation with AI text-to-image takes 3–5 seconds. Upscaling depends on image size but usually completes in 10–30 seconds.

Is there a Python SDK?

Yes! Install with pip install pixelapi. The SDK handles authentication, file uploads, polling, and result downloads. Full documentation at pixelapi.dev/docs.

Can I use processed images commercially?

Absolutely. All images processed through PixelAPI are yours to use commercially — product listings, marketing materials, print, web, wherever you need them.

How do I get started?

Sign up at pixelapi.dev/app with Google. You get 24-hour free trial (up to 5,000 credits) instantly — enough to try background removal, generation, and more. No credit card required.

Is this an alternative to remove.bg?

Yes, and much more. PixelAPI offers background removal at a fraction of the price ($0.002 vs $0.07+), plus AI background replacement, image generation, upscaling, face restoration, and object removal — all in one API.

Why is PixelAPI so much cheaper?
🌍 Do you support international customers?

Yes! PixelAPI works globally via our Cloudflare CDN. PayPal payments accepted in 200+ countries. All prices shown in USD with local currency estimates for reference.

💳 What payment methods do you accept?

We accept PayPal (200+ countries) and Razorpay for Indian customers (UPI, cards, netbanking). Indian pricing: ₹500, ₹1,500, ₹29,000/mo.

🔒 Are there data residency restrictions?

Your images are processed on our servers in India and automatically deleted after 24 hours. No permanent storage or data retention. Works globally with fast processing via our CDN.

🕒 What are your support hours?

Email support available 24/7 at support@pixelapi.dev. We typically respond within 24 hours (often much faster). Based in India (IST timezone) but serve customers globally.
