Getting Started
snapnedit is two things in one product: a set of free browser-based AI photo tools (background removal, upscaling, colorization, and more) plus a full photo editor, and — for developers — an HTTP API and SDK that expose the same AI operations programmatically.
Using the tools in your browser
No account is required to use any of the individual tools:
- Go to a tool page — Remove Background, Upscale, Unblur, Colorize, Style Transfer, Retouch, Magic Eraser, or Generative Fill.
- Upload a photo.
- Run the tool and download the result — or click "Open in editor" to keep refining it.
The editor is a full canvas-based photo editor (layers, masks, crop, text) for combining multiple edits into one export.
Using the API
If you want to call snapnedit's AI operations from your own code (a script, a backend service, an app), see API Authentication for how to get an API key and make your first request, and the operations reference for the full list of operation ids.
Which one should I use?
- Browser tools/editor — for a one-off edit, no setup, nothing to install.
- API/SDK — for automating edits at scale (e.g. processing a batch of product photos), or building AI photo editing into your own product.
Both paths run the exact same underlying AI models — the API isn't a "lite" version of the browser tools.
