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 AI text-to-image takes 3–5 seconds. Upscaling depends on image size but usually completes in 10–30 seconds.
