Intro

It only takes 3 minutes to create an account, get an API key, copy a sample code, and get images processed (e.g. backgrounds removed).

Picsart APIs are based on a simple HTTP interface, and the output image is typically provided as a URL. Below you can find the sample codes to get started easily.

Sample Run

curl -X 'POST' \
  'https://api.picsart.io/tools/1.0/removebg' \
  -H 'accept: application/json' \
  -H 'x-picsart-api-key: <API KEY HERE>' \
  -H 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data' \
  -F 'output_type=cutout' \
  -F 'format=PNG' \
  -F 'image_url=https://cdn140.picsart.com/13902645939997000779.jpg'

const FormData = require('form-data');
const http = require("https");
const form = new FormData();
const fs = require('fs');

form.append('bg_blur', '0');
form.append('scale', 'fit');
form.append('image_url', 'https://cdn140.picsart.com/03328718565819952445.jpeg');
form.append('bg_image_url', 'https://cdn140.picsart.com/22183977156062232333.png');
form.append('format', 'JPG');
form.append('output_type', 'cutout');
const options = {
    "method": "POST",
    "hostname": "api.picsart.io",
    "port": null,
    "path": "/tools/1.0/removebg",
    "headers": {
        "accept": "application/json",
        "X-Picsart-API-Key": "YOURAPIKEYHERE",
        ...form.getHeaders()
    }
};
const req = http.request(options, function (res) {
    const chunks = [];
    res.on("data", function (chunk) {
        chunks.push(chunk);
    });
    res.on("end", function () {
        const body = Buffer.concat(chunks);
        console.log(body.toString());
    });
});
req.on("error", (e) => {
    console.error(e);
});
form.pipe(req);

OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient().newBuilder().build();
MediaType mediaType = MediaType.parse("multipart/form-data");
RequestBody body = new MultipartBody.Builder()
  .setType(MultipartBody.FORM)
  .addFormDataPart("bg_blur","0")
  .addFormDataPart("scale","fit")

  .build();
Request request = new Request.Builder()
  .url("https://api.picsart.io/tools/1.0/removebg")
  .method("POST", body)
  .addHeader("accept", "application/json")
  .addHeader("X-Picsart-API-Key", "YOURAPIKEYHERE")
  .build();

Response response = client.newCall(request).execute();

import requests
url = "https://api.picsart.io/tools/1.0/removebg"

payload={
  "bg_blur": "0",
  "scale": "fit",
  "image_url": "https://cdn140.picsart.com/03328718565819952445.jpeg",

files=[]
headers = {"accept": "application/json", "X-Picsart-API-Key": "YOURAPIKEY"}

response = requests.request("POST", url, headers=headers, data=payload, files=files)

print(response.text)
