# 🪄🖼️ Universal Background Removal API

The Universal Background Removal API automatically isolates the main subject of an image by removing its background. It supports various output formats, including a full transparent PNG, a single-channel mask, a white background version, or a cropped image that removes blank areas. This makes it a versatile tool for developers needing to streamline image processing, digital media editing, and e-commerce content creation.
