Hey Dev Community 
,
I’m excited to announce the launch of my new API on RapidAPI:
Remove Background API – A production-ready, blazing-fast background removal service built for developers.
Whether you’re building an e-commerce platform, a photo editor, or an AI tool — background removal is a common need, and now it’s easier to implement than ever.
Why This API?
There are plenty of background removal tools, but most are:
- Tied to a front-end UI
- Not developer-friendly
- Overpriced for basic needs
- Lack proper API documentation or testing options
- RapidAPI Marketplace integration for immediate testing
Key Features
-
POST /remove-bg— Upload an image (JPG, PNG, WEBP, BMP) 
Returns a transparent PNG with the background removed
Get a temporary URL
Uploaded files are auto-deleted after 5 minutes
Overage pricing available (no surprise limits)
Try It Now (Free Tier Available)
You can test it directly on RapidAPI (no server setup required):

Built for Developers
No bloated SDKs or complex auth. Simple request → clean response.
Integrate it into:
- Web apps
- Mobile apps
- Bots
- SaaS tools
- Automation scripts
Feedback Is Welcome
If you’re a developer, builder, or indie hacker, I’d love to hear how this fits into your stack — or how it can be better.
Your feedback helps me improve, prioritize features, and refine the product roadmap.
Drop a comment. Try the API. Share it if you think it’s useful.
Let’s Build Together
This is just the beginning. I’m planning:
- Batch processing
- More file format options
Thanks for checking it out. Would love your support!
Cheers,
– Sohail
