Background Removal

Background Removal

Remove and replace image backgrounds using each::sense — the intelligent AI agent that automatically selects the best model for your request.

Quick Start

Requires an each::labs API key. Get one at eachlabs.ai.

Using curl

curl -X POST https://eachsense-agent.core.eachlabs.run/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "messages": [
      {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
              {"type": "text", "text": "Remove the background from this image and replace it with a clean white background"},
              {"type": "image_url", "image_url": {"url": "https://example.com/product-photo.jpg"}}
            ]
          }
    ],
    "stream": false
  }'

Using Python (OpenAI SDK)

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    api_key="YOUR_EACHLABS_API_KEY",
    base_url="https://eachsense-agent.core.eachlabs.run/v1"
)

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="eachsense/beta",
    messages=[{
        "role": "user",
        "content": "Remove the background from this image and replace it with a clean white background"
    }],
    # Images are included in the message content array above
)

print(response.choices[0].message.content)

Images are sent inside messages using the OpenAI multimodal content format. Maximum 4 images per request.

Streaming

Set "stream": true for real-time Server-Sent Events (SSE) responses, or "stream": false to receive the complete result in a single response. Streaming is useful for showing progress in UIs; non-streaming is simpler for scripts and automation.

Batch Product Backgrounds

PRODUCTS=(
  "https://example.com/product-1.jpg"
  "https://example.com/product-2.jpg"
  "https://example.com/product-3.jpg"
)

for URL in "${PRODUCTS[@]}"; do
  curl -X POST https://eachsense-agent.core.eachlabs.run/v1/chat/completions \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
    -d "{
      \"messages\": [{\"role\": \"user\", \"content\": \"Remove the background and replace with a clean white background. Preserve realistic shadow.\"}],
      \"image_urls\": [\"$URL\"],
      \"stream\": false
    }"
  echo "---"
done

Tips for Clean Results

• Mention hair and edges: "Keep hair edges clean and natural" prevents harsh cutout lines
• Specify shadow handling: "Keep a soft contact shadow" or "Remove all shadows"
• Match lighting: When compositing, say "Match the lighting direction of the original"
• Simple subjects first: Single subjects with clear edges produce the best results
• Consistent style: For batch processing, use the exact same prompt for all images
