Removes the background of any image, using the PhotoRoom API.

const transparentify = require('transparentify');

// Create picture.png, with the background removed
await transparentify.run('picture.jpg');

You need a PHOTOROOM_API_KEY (request one here) available as an environment variable, or passed as an apiKey option

The run method accepts an option object as the second parameters, with the following keys:

The module also comes with a transparentify command line script. Usage is as follow:

# Creates picture.png in the current directory
$ transparentify ./picture.jpg

# Creates ./dist/final.png
$ transparentify ./picture.jpg ./dist/final.png

You need a PHOTOROOM_API_KEY env variable for this to work.

Note that images created through this method are not optimized, so we recommend you minify them after creation.
