Pricing

How are API calls billed?

API usage is billed by the amount of images processed.

Images are bought through a monthly subscription and consumed on each successful API call.

Pricing details are available here.

Calls that result in an error will not consume an image.

You can track how many images you have left in your API dashboard:

Please keep in mind that 1 call to the Image Editing API is worth 5 calls to the Remove Background API.

This means that:

• if you are on the Basic plan, a call to the Image Editing API will consume 5 images

• if you are on the Plus plan, a call to the Remove Background API will consume 0.2 image

The API dashboard also contains a history of your recent credit consumption, accessible by clicking on the button View usage details:

If you want to monitor your credit balance with your own tools, you can do it through this endpoint.

Please note that API subscriptions are independent of the Pro subscription that gives access to the Photoroom app on iOS, Android, and the web.

Can I get free API calls?

For testing and prototyping, you can use Sandbox mode on both the Image Editing API and the Remove Background API, which allows you to make free API calls (but will produce a result with a watermark).

If you're in the process of integrating the Photoroom API into your codebase and need additional free credits to test your integration, please join our online API community and ask our engineers.

How can I check my API usage?

You can check your API usage by calling the endpoint:

GET https://image-api.photoroom.com/v2/account

This endpoint works for both the Remove Background API and the Image Editing API.

Here's an example of a call to this endpoint:

curl --location 'https://image-api.photoroom.com/v2/account' \
  --header 'x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY'

And here's an example of the response you'll receive:

{
  "images": {
    "available": 83,
    "subscription": 100
  },
  "plan": "basic"
}

You can use this endpoint to setup an automated monitoring of your API usage.
