What the Car Background Removal API Does
The car background removal API takes a raw vehicle photo — typically shot on a dealership lot — and returns a clean image with the original background removed and replaced. You can output a transparent cutout, a solid white studio background, or a branded background that matches your dealership or marketplace look.
Because the model is trained specifically on vehicles, it handles the parts of a car that trip up generic tools: reflective paint, window glass, chrome, grilles, and detailed alloy wheels. The result is a marketplace-ready photo with sharp edges and realistic contact shadows.
How the API Works
The workflow is designed for scale. Uploads go directly to secure storage through presigned URLs, and processing happens asynchronously so your application never blocks while images render.
- Authenticate with your API key
- Request presigned upload URLs and upload vehicle photos
- Submit a bulk job referencing the uploaded images and desired output
- Poll the job status endpoint and download finished images
Car Background Removal API Pricing
The API uses a simple credit-based model: one image equals one credit. Pricing starts as low as 5 cents per image on higher-volume plans, with an API Starter Pack for testing and smaller volumes. Credits are charged when a job is submitted, and any image that fails to process is automatically refunded. Full endpoint documentation and current pricing tiers are on the API pricing page.
