Background Removal API

Background Removal API for Next.js

Next.js developers can call PixelAPI directly from API routes or server components, with full TypeScript support and edge-runtime compatibility.

Quickstart: PixelAPI + Next.js

Sign up at pixelapi.dev/app for an API key (5,000 free credits (7-day first-time trial)). Then call:

curl -X POST https://api.pixelapi.dev/v1/image/remove-background \
  -H "X-API-Key: $PIXELAPI_KEY" \
  -F "image=@product.jpg"
# response: { "output_url": "https://...transparent.png", "credits_used": 12 }

Why Next.js teams choose PixelAPI

• $0.012 per image — fits any Next.js budget, even thousand-product catalogs.
• 5,000 free credits (7-day first-time trial) — test on real Next.js product data without card.
• REST API — works from any Next.js runtime (server-side function, cloud function, webhook).
• 14 other AI tools bundled — same API for image gen, upscale, face restore, etc.
• predictable API access — managed API service, sub-3-second response.

Common Next.js integration patterns

• On-upload trigger — when a Next.js user uploads a product image, fire PixelAPI in the background and store the cleaned PNG.
• Overnight bulk job — process the day's new uploads via a cron job hitting PixelAPI in a loop.
• Webhook — let your Next.js backend POST images to PixelAPI and receive transparent PNG URLs back.
