Jonas WeberJW
Jonas Weber
SaaS Founder

"I was initially skeptical about the low price point compared to the market leaders. But after running a batch test, the edge detection was precise, and the API response time was consistent. It effectively cut our image infrastructure costs in half."

Automotive SaaS

Callum Vane
Lead Developer

"The docs are actually readable, which is a rare find. Dropped the API key into our Node backend, tweaked one param, and it just worked. No weird errors or debugging needed. Solid experience."

"I process hundreds of product photos weekly for my store. Manual editing was killing me. This API handles bulk uploads way faster than I expected. The edge detection on hair and jewelry is surprisingly good too."
