FAQ for Eyewear developers

Is the output quality production-ready for eyewear?

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 eyewear images per day for paying customers.

Is there a bulk endpoint?

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 eyewear customers run an overnight cron processing the day's catalog uploads.

What's the quality vs remove.bg or Photoroom?

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.
