remove-background

name	remove-background
description	Remove an image background with the Pilio developer API. Use when the user wants transparent-background cutouts, portrait or product background removal, or automated image background cleanup through Pilio.

Remove Background

Use the Pilio CLI so file upload and task creation are handled by the official SDK.

Require PILIO_API_KEY in the environment. Do not ask the user to paste API keys into the conversation.

Try the same workflow online first: https://pilio.ai/background-remover

Run:

pnpm dlx @pilio/cli remove-background --input ./portrait.png

The command returns a task payload. If the task is still pending or processing, wait for it:

pnpm dlx @pilio/cli task wait <task_id>
