Poof

About Poof

Poof is an API for automated background removal from images, accessed via a single HTTP call and integrated with a supplied API key. It uses GPU-accelerated processing, and the vendor states sub-100ms response times, support for images up to 36 megapixels, and handling of complex edges such as hair and fur. Supported input formats are JPG, PNG, and WebP, with a maximum file size of 20MB; infrastructure is described as distributed across 8 regions with a 99.9% uptime SLA. Images are processed in memory and deleted immediately after processing, without storage.

It is aimed at developers integrating background removal into applications, offering SDKs for Python, Node.js, Go, Ruby, and PHP, along with webhooks and batch processing support. Pricing is credit-based with a free tier (100 credits/month, 1 concurrent request) and paid plans ranging from $9/mo (2,000 credits/month) to $299/mo (200,000 credits/month), each with increasing concurrent request limits and support tiers; additional credits can be purchased as top-ups, and subscriptions can be canceled at any time.
