# Remove background

The background removal feature uses AI to isolate the main subject of an image by removing the background with high accuracy. This is especially useful for applications like e-commerce, social media, or design, where a subject needs to be highlighted or placed on a different background.

To enable background removal, include the `background: { remove: "auto" }` parameter in your API request. The model will process the image to detect the primary subject and automatically remove the background, outputting an image with alpha channel consisting transparency mask.

with API request:

```json
{
    "url": "https://deep-image.ai/api-example.png",
    "background": {
       "remove": "auto"
    }
}
```

And result is:

<figure><img src="/files/GNNiFDwdxo2137Bt9SA7" alt=""><figcaption><p>Image with transparent background</p></figcaption></figure>
