WheelStage API
Integrate AI-powered car photo editing directly into your workflow. Upload a parking lot photo, get back a showroom-ready image — programmatically.
Built for teams that need automation
Dealerships & Dealer Groups
Connect your DMS or inventory system. New vehicle photos get processed automatically as they're added — no manual uploads needed.
Listing Platforms
Offer professional car photo editing as a built-in feature on your marketplace. One API call per image, results in seconds.
Photo Studios & Integrators
Build WheelStage into your editing pipeline. Process hundreds of photos via script instead of uploading one by one.
How it works
Upload
Get a presigned upload URL, then PUT your car photo to it. JPEG, PNG, WebP, and HEIC supported.
Process
Submit the image for processing. Your saved preset settings (background, logo, plate handling) are applied automatically. Costs 1 credit per image.
Download
Poll the job status endpoint. When complete, you get a signed URL to the processed image. Typical processing: 15-30 seconds.
Quick example
Three API calls is all it takes to go from parking lot to showroom.

-H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{}'
# Upload your photo
