Billing

Unit: per_image · unmatched results billed: no
Flat per image. Output is a PNG with alpha, up to 1024 pixels on the long side.

The exact quote is returned by /v1/inspect before every call and held with headroom on execution. The quote is the price floor: if the provider's actual cost overruns it, the run bills the overrun at the same rate, never above the hold. The unused part of every hold is released.

Run it

  -d '{
    "capability": "creative.remove_background",

    "routing": {"provider": "auto"}
