Hello Makers, Our mission at PhotoRoom is to boost businesses thanks to more efficient images. Time to create a listing is important for creators and resellers. In particular, the quicker first-time resellers get to a sale, the more successful they become. That's why we're launching an API: We want to empower app creators to implement background removal features in fewer steps. If you run a marketplace, you know the quality of the image is most of the sale. - Noisy backgrounds for listed products distract users from buying and create a cheap UI - A white background is required (https://support.google.com/merch... be able to advertise your users content on Google - Photos make a marketplace. Improving photo quality increased usage and GMV of major marketplaces like Airbnb or Uber Eat. 93% of consumers consider visual appearance to be the key deciding factor in a purchase decision(https://www.justuno.com/blog/65-...) - Instant white backgrounds will increase the satisfaction of your sellers and the chance that they get their first sell on your platform You can integrate PhotoRoom API in your seller app in under 5 minutes at a fraction of the cost of what exists today. ProductHunt audience, PhotoRoom team, PhotoRoom audience, we are all builders and entrepreneurs. We want to serve all the builders, so we are providing 1,000 images/month for free. You want to create a new Figma plugin, a new social app with friends, or a creativity app. Go build it. It's free. We would love to have feedback from marketplace owners, creators, and makers about what else they would like to see in this API.

@ken_moo Nice! In the PhotoRoom mobile app there's a way to select the subject of the photo to help in those difficult cases. This could be be part of the API at some point too.
