Pixoate API

The image engines behind 170+ tools, as one endpoint

Background removal, AI upscaling, colorization, format conversion, object counting and OCR extraction — all through a single credit-metered REST API. Idempotent by design, with failed calls refunded automatically.

Get an API key with ProFull API reference

Quick start

Upgrade to Pro, copy your key from the dashboard, and send an image with a function name. You get back a link to the processed result.

curl -X POST https://api.pixoate.com/api/v1/process \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $PIXOATE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: $(uuidgen)" \
  -F "function=applyBackgroundRemoval" \
  -F "image=@photo.jpg"

Prefer to see it work first? Every function above is a free tool on the site — e.g. remove-background runs applyBackgroundRemoval.

What you can call

Image AI

Background removal, AI upscaling, photo enhancement, colorization and headshot generation — the same models that power the online tools.

Try background removal

Object & people counting

Send a photo, get a count. The engine behind the inventory and people-counting tools, callable per request.

Try object counting

OCR & data extraction

Turn images of documents, receipts and tables into text, CSV, Excel and structured fields.

Built for production

API-key auth

Each Pro account gets a personal API key, rotatable from your dashboard. Send it as a header — no OAuth dance.

Credit-metered, transparent

Every response reports exactly how many credits the call spent. Calls that fail are refunded automatically, so an error never burns a paid credit.

Idempotent retries

Send an Idempotency-Key and a retry replays the original success for 24 hours instead of charging twice; a duplicate that arrives mid-flight is rejected with 409, not re-processed.

Validate before you code

Every engine is also a free online tool at pixoate.com, so you can check output quality on your own images before integrating.

API access is included with Pixoate Pro

Your personal API key is generated automatically and lives in your dashboard, where you can rotate it anytime. Usage is credit-metered with a commercial-use license.
