What does Poof do?

Poof is a background removal API that lets you strip the background from any image with a single HTTP request. It's built for developers who need fast, reliable, and affordable image processing without managing ML infrastructure. The API handles JPG, PNG, and WebP images up to 20MB and supports resolutions up to 36 megapixels. Pricing starts at $0.001 per image — roughly 200 times cheaper than some leading competitors.

The API uses a custom v2 model that understands context, depth, and structure. It handles tricky edges like hair, fur, and transparent objects with precision. Response times are typically under 100 milliseconds thanks to GPU-optimized clusters. The service offers SDKs for Python, Node.js, Go, Ruby, and PHP, plus webhooks and batch processing. Images are processed in memory and deleted immediately — no storage, GDPR compliant. The free tier gives you 100 credits to test the service.

Poof is best for developers building e-commerce platforms, photo editing tools, or any app that needs background removal at scale. It's also a solid choice for online store owners processing hundreds of product photos weekly. The straightforward pricing and clear documentation make it easy to integrate without a long learning curve.
