How can I get a free background removal API key?

Sign up for the Free plan and your API key is ready instantly without requiring a credit card. It comes with 100 free credits every month, enough to test the full background removal API from your own code.

Is the remove.bg API shutting down?

Yes, remove.bg announced that its standalone website closes on 1 December 2026 and its API moves to a different service on the same date. Poof accepts the same inputs as remove.bg and returns a transparent PNG, so switching usually only requires changing the endpoint and API key.

Can I use Poof as a drop-in replacement for the remove.bg API?

Yes. The API accepts the same file upload, image URL and base64 inputs as remove.bg with the same field names, and returns a transparent PNG, so most remove.bg integrations only need the endpoint and API key changed.
