# PixelMagic

> AI background remover that keeps what matters — glass, hair, camouflage, text,
> glow and illustrations. Built on the open-source Lucida model (BiRefNet_HR
> fine-tune, MIT). Web app, mobile apps, public API and an MCP server.

## What PixelMagic does
- Removes image backgrounds with pixel-perfect alpha, especially on hard cases:
  semi-transparent objects, fine hair, camouflaged subjects, text/logos with
  soft shadows, glow/VFX, and illustrations.
- Outputs transparent PNG, or composites onto white / gradient / blurred
  backgrounds. HD and 4K supported.

## For AI agents (MCP)
PixelMagic is available as an MCP server. Tool:
- remove_background(image_url, refine=true, model="lucida-v6")
    -> { png_base64, bytes }
Connect: add the PixelMagic MCP endpoint and your PixelMagic API key to your MCP client.

## HTTP API
- POST /api/remove  (multipart: file, model)  -> image/png
  Auth: Bearer <LUCIDA_API_KEY>. Consumes 1 credit per HD image.

## Pricing
- Free: 5 images/mo. Starter $9 (120 cr). Pro $19 (400 cr, API+MCP).
  Business $49 (1500 cr). Credit packs roll over 12 months.
