What is PhotoRoom API?

PhotoRoom API is a developer-focused image editing and background removal API built for e-commerce and marketplace product photography at scale. It offers a dedicated Remove Background API for fast, accurate cutouts and a more advanced Image Editing API that adds AI-powered features such as AI Backgrounds, AI Shadows, AI Relighting, PhotoFix, Product Beautifier, Photo Composition, Virtual Model, Flat Lay, and Ghost Mannequin effects. The API accepts PNG, JPEG, and WEBP images, supports rate limits up to 500 images per minute, and provides SDK wrappers for JavaScript, Python, Node.js, and iOS.

Companies including Klarna, Amazon, Wix, Depop, and Decathlon use the API, which the company says processes over 3 million images daily. Pricing is usage-based and billed separately from PhotoRoom's consumer app subscriptions, with a Basic plan for background removal and a Plus plan for full AI image editing, plus a custom Enterprise tier for high-volume annual commitments.
