## About

## What it does
Image Inpainting lets you remove masked objects or blemishes from an image and get a reconstructed version back. Send a source image plus a black-and-white mask image, and the service fills in the masked regions based on the surrounding pixels.

Use the `method` query parameter to choose the inpainting algorithm: `telea` or `ns`. You can also set `radius` to control how far the fill reaches, from 1 to 25, with a default of 5. The input image can be up to 20 MB.

The response is a binary image file, so it fits directly into workflows that need cleaned-up assets without manual retouching. Common uses include removing logos, fixing small defects, deleting stray objects from product photos, and preparing images for publishing or archival.
