Soft edges such as hair and fur keep their partial transparency, and the old background colour is cleaned out of those edges, so the cutout does not show a halo when you place it on a new background. **Pricing:** 0.5 tokens per image (= $0.01), regardless of image size or `image_type`. **Choosing `image_type`:** - `general` (default): photos of people, products, animals and objects. - `anime`: anime characters and illustrations. Do not use it for real photos: it is tuned for artwork and breaks hair into fragments on photographs. **Input and output:** - `image_url` must be an `https://` link that is publicly reachable, at most 50 MB and at most 36 megapixels. - The output is always a PNG with the same width and height as the input. Without `background_color` the background is transparent; with `background_color` the subject is placed on that solid colour. - The model keeps the most prominent subject. With `anime`, items the character holds and props next to it are usually kept as part of the subject. - Transparent or see-through objects (glass, smoke, water) are the hardest case and may come out incomplete. Returns an `img_uuid`; poll GET /api/v1/jobs/detail (or use `custom_callback_url`) to get the cutout. ## OpenAPI ````yaml api-reference/image-api/openapi-background-remover.json POST /api/v1/images/generations openapi: 3.1.0 info: title: GoEnhance API - Background Remover description: Background Remover version: 1.0.0 servers: - url: https://api.goenhance.ai security: [] paths: /api/v1/images/generations: post: tags: - ImageAPI summary: Background Remover description: >- Remove the background from an image and get a cutout PNG at the original size.

When the task status changes (processing / success / failed), GoEnhance sends a POST request to this URL. The request body is identical to the response of GET /api/v1/jobs/detail. If your server does not respond with HTTP 200, the notification is retried up to 3 times, with a 3-second timeout per attempt. example: https://your-server.com/goenhance/callback required: - model - image_url example: model: background-remover image_url: https://your-cdn.com/photo.jpg image_type: general responses: '200': description: '' content: application/json: schema: type: object properties: code: type: integer msg: type: string data: type: object properties: img_uuid: type: string cost: type: number description: >- Tokens deducted for this request.
