## How to call it through Zero

Example prompt: Can you remove the background from this product photo and give me a transparent PNG? Here's the image URL: https://example.com/product-shot.jpg

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a single-image background removal that returns a transparent PNG at the original resolution, especially if you're building ecommerce pipelines, design workflows, or any use case where subject isolation is required. Prefer this over general image editors when you need a programmatic, per-call API with predictable USDC pricing and no batch overhead.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or inaccessible image URL returns an error (e.g. 404 or permission denied)
- Unsupported image format (non-PNG/JPEG/WebP) may cause processing failure
- Very complex or ambiguous foreground/background scenes may result in imprecise cutouts
- Extremely large images may time out or exceed processing limits
- Neither image_url nor image_base64 provided returns a validation error

## How this service works

Remove Background: Removes the background from one photo and returns the subject on a transparent background as a PNG, at the photo's own size.

## Output

A PNG image file returned at the original photo's resolution, with the subject (person, object, or foreground element) preserved and all background pixels replaced with transparency.
