Pixian.AI
Pixian.AI is a web service and API that removes image backgrounds automatically. Its servers analyze uploaded images with GPUs and multi-core CPUs, then return transparent PNG files or opaque JPEG and PNG files. Inputs can be JPEG, PNG, BMP, GIF, or WebP. Batch processing and API access are available, with example clients for cURL, Java,.NET, Node.js, PHP, Python, and Ruby. The site describes support for many image types, including people, objects, artwork, logos, and scans. Free website images are limited to 250,000 pixels; paid images can reach 25 megapixels, with a 30-megabyte file limit. The Free plan costs nothing and is website-only with low-priority processing. A PAYGO 250-credit plan costs $5 a month for website and API use. API testing is free, while production results require credits.
