# HD Background Removal Using HD Background Removal is recommended when you want to remove the background of a high-resolution image (≥ 2K) to get more detailed subject edges:

To enable the feature, add this HTTP header to your API call: `pr-hd-background-removal: auto` If you want to give it a try, here's the code to reproduce the example above: {% code overflow="wrap" %} ```bash curl --location 'https://image-api.photoroom.com/v2/edit' \ --header 'x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY' \ --header 'pr-hd-background-removal: auto' \ --form imageFile=@/absolute/path/to/image.jpg \ --form referenceBox=originalImage \ --output result-hd-background-removal.png ``` {% endcode %} Try it now! Here are several examples of what HD Background Removal can achieve: {% hint style="info" %} Don't hesitate to download the images locally and zoom on the edges to better see the difference. {% endhint %} {% tabs %} {% tab title="1" %}
