Studio photographers handle hundreds of shots per day. Cutting subjects from green screen or against complex backgrounds is the most repetitive part of their pipeline. PixelAPI's API integrates into Lightroom/Capture One workflows via simple HTTP calls — clean cutouts in 3 seconds, ready for retouching.

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 photography studios 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 photography studios 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.
