Terms of Service

01 Who we are

removebackground.dev is operated by Byte Size Curiosity LLC, a New York limited liability company, mailing address 41 State Street, Suite 112, Albany, NY 12207 ("we", "us"). Byte Size Curiosity LLC also operates YouTubeTranscript.dev. If you don't agree to these terms, please don't use the service.

02 The service

• Browser tool (free): removes backgrounds with a model that runs entirely in your browser. It's free, unlimited and works without an account.
• API and Bulk (paid): remove backgrounds on our servers, through POST /v1/remove with an API key or the Bulk queue in your account.

Results are produced by a machine-learning model and can be imperfect. Review every image before you use it.

03 Your account and API keys

Your login is shared with YouTubeTranscript.dev (one account, several products). Give accurate information and keep your credentials and API keys secret — anyone with your API key can spend your credits. You're responsible for activity on your account and keys. Revoke a key you think is exposed, and tell us at support@youtubetranscript.dev if you suspect unauthorized access.

04 Credits, pricing and payment

• The API and Bulk are usage-based. You buy prepaid credit packs; there is no subscription and no commitment.
• One credit is used per image whose background is removed successfully. Failed or invalid images don't use credits.
• Credits don't expire while your account is open. They're non-transferable and can't be exchanged for cash.
• removebackground.dev credits are separate from other products' credits (such as YouTubeTranscript.dev) and can only be used here.
• New accounts may receive free starter credits; we may change or end that offer at any time.
• Payments are processed by Stripe. Prices are listed on the pricing page and may change for future purchases.

05 Refunds

If you're not happy with a pack, email support@youtubetranscript.dev within 30 days of purchase and we'll refund the unused portion. Used credits aren't refundable, except for duplicate charges, billing errors or outages that stopped you from using the service. Approved refunds go back to the original payment method within 5–7 business days, and the refunded credits are removed.

06 Your images

• You keep all rights in the images you process. You give us permission to process them only to provide the service.
• Only process images you have the right to use.
• You may use the results for any lawful purpose, including commercial use.
• Results of the API and Bulk are stored privately so you can download them again.

07 Acceptable use

You agree not to use removebackground.dev to:

• process content that is illegal, sexually explicit involving minors, or that infringes someone else's rights;
• create deceptive or harmful content about real people;
• use image URLs to probe or attack other systems, or try to reach private networks through the service;
• break, overload, scrape or get around the service's limits or payments, or share API keys to avoid paying.

We may refuse requests, rate-limit, revoke API keys and suspend accounts that break these rules.

08 Disclaimers and liability

The service is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, including availability of the API. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we aren't liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, and our total liability is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim.

09 Ending your use

You can stop using removebackground.dev at any time. We may suspend or close accounts that violate these terms. When an account is closed, unused credits are forfeited unless refunded under section 5.

10 Changes and contact

We may update these terms; if a change is significant we'll tell you by email or on the site. Questions: support@youtubetranscript.dev.
