# Background Color, Size and Crop

The Remove Background API offers additional 3 parameters, that allow you to perform basic editing on the result image.

{% hint style="info" %}
If you need more control over the editing of the result image, we recommend having a look at our [Image Editing API](broken://pages/sYF796CaXvK7stuRaSNG), which offers many more editing features.
{% endhint %}

### `bg_color`

The background color of the resulting image.

Can be a hex code (`#FF00FF`) or a HTML color (`red`, `green`, etc.)

### `size`

Will resize the output to the specified size.&#x20;

Can be `preview` (0.25 Megapixels), `medium` (1.5 MP), `hd` (4 MP) or `full` (36 MP, can be slower for large images). Useful for mobile apps that need smaller images.

Default: `full`

### `crop`

If `true`, the image returned is cropped to the cutout border.

Transparent pixels are removed from the border

Default: `false`

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.photoroom.com/remove-background-api-basic-plan/background-color-size-and-crop.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
