iterationlayer Remove Background and Generate Product Card
E-commerce sellers and marketplace teams take a raw product photo, remove the background to get a clean cutout, then compose it into a branded listing card with the product name, price, and brand — ready for European marketplaces, DTC storefronts, or social media.
APIs Used
Image Transformation (0.5 credits/request), Image Generation (1 credits/request)
Prerequisites
You need an Iteration Layer API key. Get one at platform.iterationlayer.com during the 7-day trial.

Remove the background from the product image at [file URL] and generate a branded product card. First, use the transform_image tool with a remove_background operation, a resize operation to 600x600 pixels (fit: contain), and a convert to PNG. Then use the generate_image tool to compose the cutout into a 900x900 card with a background color, the product image, brand name "[brand name]", product name "[product name]", and price "[price]" as text layers, output as PNG.
