Claid.ai

API-first image enhancement for marketplaces: cut out, upscale, relight, resize.

Visit Claid.ai Reviewed Oct 26, 2026

Claid is infrastructure rather than an app. A REST API takes an image and returns a processed one — background removed to a colour you specify, upscaled, relit, and resized to marketplace presets. That makes it the only tool in this channel you can put inside a batch pipeline without a human clicking through a UI, which is the actual bottleneck once a catalogue passes a few hundred images.

Who it is for

A developer or agency wiring image processing into an existing catalogue pipeline.

Key features

  • REST API with marketplace resize presets
  • Background removal to a specified colour
  • Upscaling and relighting
  • Designed for batch processing without a UI

Where it falls short

There is no useful interface for a single image, and billing is per API call, so a loop written wrong costs real money before anyone notices.

Pricing

Credit-based per API call, with volume tiers. No meaningful free tier — treat the trial as a way to measure cost per SKU, not as a usable plan.

Prices move; the tier structure is the part that stays true. Check current pricing on Claid.ai.
