1

Far Lower Cost per Image

2

A Free Tier That Renews

Clipdrop gives 100 test credits once. FAPIhub gives 100 free requests every month, then 1,000 requests for $10 one-time.

3

Backgrounds in One API

FAPIhub's blur, color, gradient, and shadow endpoints share the same API key and request price as background removal, so you can add new outputs without a new integration.

Switch from Clipdrop in Minutes

FAPIhub is a standard REST API. If you already call Clipdrop, you keep your upload and save logic and swap the request.

Before Clipdrop

curl -X POST 'https://clipdrop-api.co/remove-background/v1' \
     -H 'x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY' \
     -F 'image_file=@/path/to/your/image.jpg' \
     -o result.png

After FAPIhub

curl -X POST "https://fapihub.com/v2/rembg/" \
     -H "ApiKey: YOUR_API_KEY" \
     -F "image=@photo.jpg" \
     -o result.png

Point the request at https://fapihub.com/v2/rembg/, send your key in the ApiKey header, and upload the file as image. The response is the finished PNG.

Common Questions About Switching from Clipdrop

Answers to what developers ask most before migrating to FAPIhub.

Yes. Both APIs take a multipart/form-data POST. Change the endpoint to https://fapihub.com/v2/rembg/, the header from x-api-key to ApiKey, and the file field from image_file to image.

Clipdrop credits stay valid for 2 years from purchase, so you can use them up while you test FAPIhub on the free tier and move traffic over gradually.

Yes. FAPIhub's free plan includes 100 requests every month with no credit card required.

FAPIhub accepts JPEG, PNG, WebP, BMP, and GIF images. Background removal results are returned as PNG so transparency is preserved.

Yes. The same API key works with endpoints for masks, blurred backgrounds, solid colors, gradients, and shadows on every plan. AI-generated backgrounds are available on the Mega plan.

Background removal and mask endpoints support three models: falcon (the default), aurora, and ghost. Pass the model name in the model field of your request to switch between them.

Requests that fail on our side (5xx server errors) are never counted. Only successful requests and client errors such as an invalid file or missing parameter count toward your plan.

Yes, each plan has a per-minute request limit. If you exceed it, the API responds with HTTP 429 and a Retry-After header telling your client when to retry.
