## Quick Example

Remove a background in seconds:

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash cURL theme={null}
  curl -X POST https://api.poof.bg/v1/remove \
    -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
    -F "image_file=@photo.jpg" \
    -o result.png
  ```

  ```python Python theme={null}
  from poofbg import Poof

  client = Poof(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY")
  result = client.remove("photo.jpg")
  result.save("result.png")
  ```

  ```typescript TypeScript theme={null}
  import { Poof } from '@poof-bg/js';

  const poof = new Poof({ apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY' });
  const result = await poof.removeBackground(imageFile);
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## How It Works

1. **Upload** — Send your image to the `/remove` endpoint
2. **Process** — Our AI analyzes and removes the background
3. **Download** — Receive the processed image in your response
