Image Processing & Media APIs

Essential Vision Tools & APIs for Businesses & Developers

Ship production image workflows with focused REST endpoints. Clean overlays and watermarks, remove backgrounds, and localize embedded image text while preserving visual quality.

POST /txtremove

Text & Watermark Remove API

Remove text overlays, captions, and watermark artifacts using inpainting-based reconstruction. Output remains natural for downstream editing, publishing, or model ingestion workflows.

  • Automated Inpainting Reconstructs removed regions so cleaned assets can be reused in professional creative and content operations.
  • Simple POST Integration Upload local files as multipart form data and get clean output in the same JSON response pattern used by other PixLab endpoints.
  • Composable with Other APIs Chain cleaned output into OCR, translation, and document extraction flows for end-to-end automation.

Background Removal API

Isolate the main subject and remove the background with pixel-accurate segmentation. Ideal for product catalogs, ad creatives, profile photos, and automated media pipelines.

  • High-Precision Subject Segmentation Automatically detects foreground objects without manual masking, making output reliable across varied scenes.
  • Flexible Output Delivery Receive image data as base64 by default, with optional direct file link output when object storage integration is enabled.
  • Scalable Batch Workflows Pair with Bulk Image Background Removal for high-volume processing.

POST /imgtranslate

Image Text Translation API

Detect, translate, and redraw text directly inside the same image while preserving the original composition. Useful for localizing product banners, app screenshots, signage, and marketing creatives.

  • Language-Aware Translation Use src_lang=auto for source detection and set the output language with dst_lang.
  • Layout Preservation Text is replaced inline to keep the image readable and visually consistent with the original design.
  • Developer-Friendly Output Returns a standard JSON response with status and translated image payload for direct integration into existing pipelines.
