Yes — production-ready. The matting model handles fine edges (hair, lace, jewelry chains, pet fur, glass) without halos or fringe. We process tens of thousands of books & media images per day for paying customers.
No separate bulk endpoint — call the regular endpoint in a loop. Free tier has 10 requests/minute; Starter 60/min; Pro 300/min; Scale unlimited. Most books & media customers run an overnight cron processing the day's catalog uploads.
Comparable quality, ~11–20× cheaper. We've tested on 1,000-image sample sets across product, fashion, and lifestyle photography — output is essentially indistinguishable from premium competitors at one-tenth the cost. Try 500 free credits and benchmark on your own data.
