remove.bg API is closing Dec 1, 2026 and moving into Leonardo.ai / Canva. Keep your pipelines running — change one endpoint and one header. That's it.
Same multipart upload, same image in, transparent PNG out.

remove.bg API is being routed through Leonardo.ai and Canva. GoneBG stays independent with a stable, documented REST endpoint.
One credit per call. Etsy Pro gives 300 req/mo at $19; Agency gives 1000 req/mo at $49. No surprise tiers or bundles.
Unlike remove.bg PAYG credits that vanish after Dec 1, 2026, GoneBG credits and packs never expire — use them whenever.
Sign up, pick a plan with API access, and generate a Bearer key in seconds.
Is GoneBG API a drop-in replacement for remove.bg API?
Almost. The only change is the endpoint URL and the auth header: swap https://api.remove.bg/v1.0/removebg for https://api.gonebg.com/v1/remove, and replace the X-API-Key header with Authorization: Bearer sk_live_…. Request and response shapes are intentionally simple.
What happens to the remove.bg API after Dec 1, 2026?
The remove.bg API is being folded into the Leonardo.ai / Canva ecosystem. Existing keys and workflows will need to migrate. GoneBG offers a stable, independent REST API so your pipelines keep running.
How do I get a GoneBG API key?
Sign up, choose Etsy Pro or Agency, then generate a Bearer key from the API page. Each successful removal costs one credit from your monthly quota.
