## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, pay-per-call background removal with no subscription, returning a standard transparent PNG. Ideal for agent workflows that process product images, avatars, or photos on demand without managing a dedicated image-editing service account.

## Known failure modes

- Image format not supported — returns error if input is not a recognizable image format
- Image too large — may time out or return an error for very high-resolution inputs
- No clear subject detected — background removal may be incomplete or produce artifacts
- Network/payment failure — x402 payment not processed, returns 402 or authorization error
- Corrupted image data — returns error if binary payload is malformed

## How this service works

Remove the background from any image. Returns a transparent PNG.

## Output

A transparent PNG image with the background removed and only the foreground subject retained, ready for compositing or design use.
