AI Beautifier API

Photoroom's AI Beautifier API improves the quality of the main subject in a product or food photo by creating a more aesthetically pleasing visual, from one upload to a whole catalog.

Unlike a generic image filter, it has modes built for what you sell: ai.auto for a result that follows the aesthetic product pack shot look, ai.food for food and ai.car for cars. It's one of more than 20 edits in the Photoroom API.

Photoroom's AI Beautifier API does this inside your own upload flow: each seller photo is beautified as it arrives, so sellers don't change how they shoot or upload. The API processes one image per call, and calls can run in parallel, up to the rate limit (60 images a minute by default, higher on Enterprise).

You can combine it with Positioning, AI Shadows or AI Backgrounds in the same call.

For food, Photoroom's AI Beautifier API has a dedicated food mode. Set beautify.mode to ai.food for a result tailored to the specifics of food images, for example placing the subject on a plate.

Food delivery platforms and grocery apps can send a whole menu or catalog through it, one image per call, with calls running in parallel up to the rate limit.

For that, look at Photoroom's Visual QA rather than AI Beautifier: AI Beautifier improves a photo, it doesn't score or filter it. Visual QA is available on Enterprise plans and is also sold as a standalone API product.

Enterprise plans can combine Visual QA with AI Beautifier and other edits in a Visual Agents workflow. Talk to sales to set it up.

AI Beautifier is included in the Plus API plan, at $100 a month ($0.10 an image), and in Enterprise plans. A call costs the same whatever edits it combines, so beautifying and adding a shadow in one call costs the same as beautifying alone, and calls that return an error don't use up an image.

You can test first in sandbox mode, with 1,000 free watermarked calls a month on the Image Editing API. For Enterprise plans, talk to sales. Details are on the pricing page.

Get your API key, then send your photo with beautify.mode set to ai.auto:

curl --request POST \
  --url https://image-api.photoroom.com/v2/edit \
  --header 'x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY_HERE' \
  --form imageFile=@/path/to/image.png \
  --form beautify.mode=ai.auto \
  --output result-ai-beautifier.png

For food photos, use beautify.mode=ai.food. Every parameter is in the AI Beautifier documentation.

• beautify.mode (required): ai.auto for a result that follows the aesthetic product pack shot look, ai.food for food images, or ai.car for car images, for example removing unwanted reflections.

• beautify.seed (optional): any positive integer. With a fixed seed, the API will produce a similar-looking beautified subject for the same image. Without one, each call generates a different result.

AI Beautifier creates a re-imagined visual of the main subject, so alterations can be introduced. Check results against your originals, and see the documentation for examples.

Send PNG, JPEG, WEBP or AVIF files up to 30MB and 5,000 pixels on the widest side, and get the same formats back. By default, the AI Beautifier produces outputs at a resolution of 1K (1024x1024), and output resolutions of 2K and 4K are available for Enterprise plans. Details are on the file size, resolution and format docs page.

Yes. Photoroom has an MCP server for AI assistants such as Claude: see Photoroom MCP for the tools it covers.

To build the AI Beautifier into your own product, AI coding agents such as Claude Code are a fast way to integrate the Photoroom API: you describe the result you want and the agent writes, runs and debugs the code for you. The docs have a ready-made prompt.
