Versely's remove_background tool is explicitly built for VIDEO — its own description says image background removal goes through a different route: generate_image_from_image, using an image-editing model with an instruction describing the change (e.g. 'remove the background, transparent backdrop').
This is a real, honest limitation worth knowing up front: there isn't a single dedicated one-click 'erase photo background' button the way there is for black-backdrop video. You drive it with a prompt on the general image-editing tool instead.

Edit or transform an existing image. Use when the user has attached an image and wants to edit, modify, transform, or create variations of it. Requires an attached image URL from [Attached image: URL] in the message.
What to tell the agent
Versely's agent maps this plain-English request directly onto generate_image_from_image. You don't need to know the parameter names — just describe what you want.
“Edit this photo to remove the background and make it transparent, keep the subject exactly as-is.”
How it works
1. Attach your photo
generate_image_from_image requires an attached image_url to edit.
2. Describe the change
Prompt it directly: remove the background, make it transparent (or describe a replacement backdrop instead).
3. Pick an edit-capable model
Choose one of Versely's image-editing models for the models parameter.
4. Review the result
Since this is a general-purpose prompt-driven edit rather than a deterministic cutout, check the edges of the subject before using the result commercially.
What it costs
Billed as a standard image-editing generation, priced per the model selected. Ask the agent for estimate_cost before generating.
The formula behind that number: What does a batch of 100 AI product images cost? — charges one fixed price per call, so the image's size and shape are free.
Limits & things to know
- There's no dedicated one-click background eraser for photos in Versely — this is a prompt-driven edit on a general image-editing model, not a deterministic segmentation tool.
- Edge quality (hair, fine detail) can vary by model and by how the prompt is worded — review results before using them commercially.
- For VIDEO background removal, use remove-video-background instead — that's a different pipeline entirely.
Who uses this
- Product photos for a white or transparent background
- Prepping a portrait for a graphic or thumbnail
- Isolating a subject before compositing into a new scene
Frequently asked questions
Is there a dedicated background-removal tool for photos?+
Not a separate deterministic one — Versely's remove_background tool is built for video. For photos, background removal is a prompt-driven edit through generate_image_from_image using an image-editing model.
Will the edges look clean?+
It depends on the model and the subject — fine detail like hair can be inconsistent since this is a general-purpose edit rather than a dedicated segmentation algorithm. Review before commercial use.
Can I remove a video's background the same way?+
No — video background removal is a different pipeline. See remove-video-background for the colorkey and AI-model options built specifically for video.
