Claid.ai, an AI company that helps marketplaces improve user-generated images, today launched an end-to-end image processing platform, Claid API 2.0. Claid’s technology automatically enhances photos, removes backgrounds, aligns products on the canvas, and fixes lighting. Claid has already optimized over 100M user-generated photos for some of the biggest US companies.

Online marketplaces have little control over the quality of user-provided photos. Whereas visuals must work double-duty to convince potential buyers. Claid API automatically improves user-generated pictures and brings them in line with marketplace’s brand guidelines in just 1-2 seconds.

Studies show that quality user-generated images invoke more trust and outperform stock images. Finding a way to improve user-generated images is crucial for P2P platforms because higher trust inevitably leads to better engagement and more transactions.
