New API Automates Text and Watermark Removal from Images in Single Call
A new image-cleanup API has been introduced to streamline the removal of visible text and watermarks from digital images. Unlike traditional tools that require users to manually create masks or manage multi-step workflows involving separate detection and inpainting services, this solution automates the entire process in a single API call. The endpoint, POST /v1/image/remove-text, accepts a public image URL and automatically segments text regions, including watermarks, captions, and timestamps. It then uses surrounding context to inpaint the area, preserving the original scene layout. Key features include optional bounding box constraints for selective removal and a default setting that maintains structural integrity to prevent generative artifacts. This tool targets developers and businesses handling large-scale image workflows, such as stock photo agencies, archive digitization projects, and e-commerce marketplaces. By eliminating the need for manual mask authoring and complex glue code, the API aims to simplify backend integration for automated image processing pipelines, offering a more efficient alternative to existing fragmented solutions.
