API Access
Add this service to your app, website, or company workflow with the Hotpot API.
Private or self-hosted solutions are also available.
Directions
Upload an image.
Enter image categories. For instance, to categorize clothing by type, enter "dress, shirt, jeans, skirt, scarf". Our AI assumes at least one category is correct, so if you upload a boat but define clothing categories, the results are likely to be incorrect.
Pricing & Licensing
Free images are limited by the CC BY-NC license.
Paid images are available for commercial use.
Our philosophy is to keep prices low enough so you can easily justify the convenience and value of Hotpot. We look forward to seeing how you use Hotpot technology.
Overview
This Hotpot AI service removes the background from pictures. We optimized this service to cleanly extract people and products, which is ideal for e-commerce pictures, profile photos, and marketing graphics. In more technical terms, we utilize state-of-the-art object segmentation models to pinpoint the location of important foreground objects like a person or a car. Then we separate the objects from the background with alpha masking and apply finishing touches to ensure the smoothest results.
For this service, pictures are saved only with user permission. For storage costs and user privacy, we only retain images for as long as necessary to run our machine learning models, and do not store photos beyond this.
