Background removal API

What we are preparing

A simple HTTP API: you send an image, you get back the same image with the background removed, as a transparent PNG. It uses the same AI model as this site, and it is designed so that you can swap it into code you already have with small changes.

• Pay per image, with no monthly minimum. Prices will be published before launch.
• No account needed to try this site. The API is a separate service for apps, shops and teams that need to process images from their own software.
• Privacy first. Our aim is to process each image in memory and not store it. We will publish the exact terms before launch.

Where we are

The API is not built to sell yet, and we do not promise a date. We will decide whether and how to launch it in December, based on how many people ask for it. Joining the waiting list does not commit you to anything.

Join the waiting list

Send us a short email: what you would use it for and roughly how many images per month. We will write to you once, when the API opens or if we decide not to launch it.

Join by email

Or write to hello@alphelo.com. See the privacy policy for how we handle your email.

The free tool stays free

Nothing changes for the tool on the home page: it stays free, with no account and no watermark, and your photos stay on your device.
