PNG with a transparent alpha channel (default), WebP, and JPEG. You can also pass a background_color to composite the cutout onto a solid color, and choose between the fast tier and the hd tier for higher-resolution output.
The API uses a production-grade segmentation model that handles products, people, and objects well. Edge cases like fine hair or semi-transparent objects are exactly that — edge cases — so the honest way to evaluate is to run your own images through it: the $10 free credit covers 2,000 test images.
Every new account gets $10 in free credits — 2,000 images — with no credit card required.
One HTTPS request: POST the image as base64 to https://api.brainiall.com/v1/image/remove-background/base64 with your API key in the Authorization header. The cutout comes back as base64 in the JSON response — no callbacks or job polling needed.
