Which image formats are supported?

For the input image, the Remove Background API supports four formats: PNG, JPEG, WEBP and HEIC.

For the result image, the Remove Background API supports three formats: PNG, JPEG and WEBP.

By default, the result image will be in PNG format.

To configure the format of the result image, set the argument format with one of the following values:

• png for PNG format (bigger file size, transparency is saved)

• jpg for JPEG format (smaller file size, transparency is not saved)

• webp for WEBP format (smaller file size, transparency is saved)

If you want to give it a try, here's the code to export an image in JPEG format:

curl --request POST \
  --url https://sdk.photoroom.com/v1/segment \
  --header 'x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY' \
  --form image_file=@/absolute/path/to/image.jpg \
  --form format=jpg \
  --output photoroom-result.jpg

And here's the code to export an image in WEBP format:

curl --request POST \
  --url https://sdk.photoroom.com/v1/segment \
  --header 'x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY' \
  --form image_file=@/absolute/path/to/image.jpg \
  --form format=webp \
  --output photoroom-result.webp
