What is the difference between the Open Source and Pro API models?

The open-source Focus model runs locally on your hardware for free and provides high privacy. The Pro API uses a more powerful model optimized for specialized AWS hardware, offering faster processing (under 1 second) and superior accuracy for production use.

Is my data stored when using the withoutBG API?

No. withoutBG follows a privacy-first approach. Images are processed in RAM and discarded immediately after the response is sent. No disks, thumbnails, or backups are stored.

How can I integrate withoutBG into my app?

You can use the official Python SDK ('pip install withoutbg') or connect via their standard REST API using cURL, Node.js, PHP, or Go.

Does the background remover work with hair and fine details?

Yes, the Pro and Focus models use a specific refiner stage designed to handle complex edge cases such as hair, fur, and semi-transparent objects.

Can I run withoutBG offline?

Yes, by using the open-source Python package or Docker image, you can run the 'Focus' model entirely on your local machine without an internet connection once the initial weights are downloaded.
