How it works

No pipeline to build, no models to configure.

1

Send your on-model photo

Send an on-model fashion photo. JPEG, PNG, or WebP up to 4096x4096px.

2

AI removes the model

Runflow's pipeline separates the garment from the model, closes necklines and sleeves, and generates a clean ghost mannequin image.

3

Get catalog-ready output

Receive a clean ghost mannequin image — replacing hours of manual retouching in under 5 seconds.

Remove the model, keep the garment

The API separates the garment from the model, preserving fabric shape, draping, and detail. Output is a clean ghost mannequin or invisible model image ready for your product catalog.

Preserves garment shape, draping, and fabric detail
Clean edges with no visible cutout artifacts
Works with tops, bottoms, dresses, and outerwear

Automatic neck and sleeve closure

After removing the model, the API closes the neckline, sleeves, and waistline to create a natural-looking ghost mannequin effect. No manual retouching needed.

Automatic neck, sleeve, and hem closure
Natural-looking inner garment shadows
Consistent results across garment types

Built for fashion catalog scale

Process entire photoshoot batches in one job. The API handles individual images or bulk batches with async webhook delivery — ideal for seasonal launches and marketplace compliance.

Replace hours of manual retouching

Ghost mannequin retouching typically costs $3–$10 per image and takes hours. The API delivers the same result in seconds at a fraction of the cost.

Working with Runflow changed how we build. Our developers can integrate a new AI feature by calling an endpoint — they don’t need machine learning expertise, infrastructure knowledge, or DevOps skills. We just focus on making the best product, and Runflow handles everything underneath.
