AI Shadows

The Image Editing API allows you to add realistic shadows to the main subject of the input image.

To add a realistic shadow, set the argument shadow.mode with one of the following values:

(original image)	shadow.mode=ai.soft	shadow.mode=ai.hard	shadow.mode=ai.floating

Try it now!

If you've also added an AI Background to your image, then it's not recommended to also add an AI Shadow as the generated background will already include a shadow for the subject.

Here's an example of how you can use AI Shadows to post-process product images at scale:

If you want to give it a try, here's the code to reproduce the examples above:

curl --request POST \
  --url https://image-api.photoroom.com/v2/edit \
  --header 'x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY' \
  --form imageFile=@/path/to/your/image.jpg \
  --form background.color=FFFFFF \
  --form outputSize=1000x1000 \
  --form padding=0.1 \
  --form shadow.mode=ai.soft \
  --output with-realistic-shadow.png
