You asked, we answered
What does the PhotoRoom API do?
The PhotoRoom API allows you to automatically remove and replace image backgrounds and batch edit images, accelerating your image processing workflows.
What images are supported in the API?
PhotoRoom API supports JPG and PNG images.
In terms of image resolution, we recommend limiting to 25MP, although there is no specific limitation. If the file is too large and your connection too slow, it might timeout.What are API credits?
Credits enable you to use PhotoRoom API for full-resolution cutouts in high quality.
Removing the background from 1 image requires 1 credit. Preview images (<0.25 megapixels) require 0.25 credits.
Subscriptions include a monthly budget of credits, that you can use within that month (or roll over to the next month as long as you stay subscribed). Pay-as-you-go credits are valid for up to 2 years after the purchase.
More information about preview images:Preview images are small resolution images, up to 0.25 megapixels (e.g 625 × 400 pixels). They require 0.25 credit to be processed through PhotoRoom API instead of 1 credit for higher resolution.
In terms of implementation the API "size" parameter should be set to preview to be charged 0.25 credit.
How can I check my remaining credits?
You can check your remaining credits on the PhotoRoom dashboard.
What if I run out of credits?
If you run out of credit, the services stops. You can buy more credits via your PhotoRoom dashboard.
When moving to a larger plan, you immediately get the credits from the larger plan and your renewal date gets updated to the current date. For instance when upgrading from 100 credits / month to 500 credits / month, you immediately get 500 credits and your plan will renew in exactly one month (unless you cancel).
Can I cancel/upgrade/downgrade my API subscription with PhotoRoom?
Yes, you can cancel, upgrade or downgrade your subscription at any time.
Cancel
If you cancel, your subscription will stop at the end of your current billing period. Your remaining credits will be preserved for 6 months. You can use them if you subscribe again.
Upgrade
Upgrading your plan takes effect immediately: after confirmation, your payment method is charged, you immediately get the credits from the larger plan, and your renewal date gets updated to the current date. For instance, when upgrading from 1000 credits/month to 5000 credits/month, you immediately get 5000 credits and your plan will renew in exactly one month (unless you cancel).
Downgrade
If you're downgrading your plan you will not be billed immediately. Instead, your current plan stays active until the end of the current billing period, and only then does the new plan takes effect. For example, when you downgrade your 10000 credits per month plan to the 5000 credits per month on June 10, and your next billing date is July 5, then you will be billed for it on July 5. This is also when the new rollover limit applies, so make sure you use the remaining credits until then.
What happens if I have unused API credits at the end of the month?
In the Free Plan, credits are renewed every first day of the month, unused credits are not rolled over.
In all other plans, if at the end of the month you have not used all of your subscription credits, the remaining credits roll over to the next month, and you can still use them. Rollover is up to 6x your monthly credit budget month to month. Credits are not refundable.
Are the images sent to the API subject to any PhotoRoom copyright?
No, no copyright is applied to images processed through PhotoRoom API.
What is the API Partner Plan? Who is eligible?
PhotoRoom Partner Plan is proposed to customer facing apps with high volumes that are willing to share the PhotoRoom logo on their public user interface in exchange for an exceptional $0.01 per image pricing.
You qualify for PhotoRoom Partner Plan if all of the following criteria are covered:- you agree to let PhotoRoom display your logo on our website, or your client logo if you're developing an application for a client. This is a way for us to highlight our valuable partnerships, and it allows your brand to gain more exposure within our community.
- you process more than 100,000 images per month, meaning benefiting from the Partner Plan would cost you a minimum cost of $1000 per month. This offer doesn’t cumulate with other discounts.
- your app is a user-facing app. Your users see PhotoRoom logo for every single background removal, tapping the logo links to https://photoroom.com on the web, to PhotoRoom mobile app on mobile. The logo doesn’t need to be added to the edited image. Failure to apply leads to the immediate removal of the API access.
- your app doesn’t provide a similar or competing service with the PhotoRoom mobile or web app.
- your website has a link to https://photoroom.com saying "Backgrounds removed with PhotoRoom" on its home page.
- if after 6 month of subscription to the Partner Plan you still want to benefit from the Partner Plan, you authorize PhotoRoom to publish a case study and a quote about your use case and observed KPIs. It concretely takes the form of a 30-minute interview and final review.
You don't qualify for PhotoRoom Partner Plan if one of the above criteria is missing. If you do not qualify for the Partner Plan, you can still subscribe to our standard Monthly Subscription plan.
