Migration FAQ

Is ShotStudio a drop-in replacement for remove.bg API?

Yes, ShotStudio API is designed as a drop-in replacement. The authentication format is similar (Bearer token vs X-Api-Key), and the response format is designed to be familiar. You can migrate in under 5 minutes.

What happens to my existing remove.bg credits?

Unfortunately, remove.bg credits will not transfer. You'll need to sign up for a new ShotStudio account. We offer 100 free API calls per month to get you started, and can match your previous plan's volume pricing.

Will the image quality be the same or better?

ShotStudio uses RMBG-1.4, which is specifically trained on product images. Our tests show better edge preservation on product photos with complex backgrounds, especially for items with fine details like jewelry, electronics, and clothing.

Can I use both services during migration?

Yes, you can run both in parallel during your migration period. Start by adding ShotStudio as a secondary provider, test the results, then gradually switch over once you're confident in the quality.

Do you offer migration support?

Yes! Enterprise customers get dedicated migration support. Free users can reach out via email. We'll help you integrate and verify results match or exceed your previous setup.
