TheGlitch — One API call to resize, apply effects, and remove backgrounds from images

Hey IH! I'm a solo founder and I just launched TheGlitch — a stateless image processing API.

The problem: developers spend hours setting up image processing pipelines. Install libraries, handle file storage, manage edge cases, deal with different formats. It's a pain.

The solution: one API call does everything. Send an image (URL, base64, binary, or upload), tell it what you want, get the processed image back. Nothing is stored. Fully stateless.

What it does:

• Resize up to 8000x8000px

• Format conversion (JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP, TIFF)

• Effects: brightness, contrast, blur, sharpen, grayscale, sepia

• AI background removal in ~3 seconds

• 14 social media presets (Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn)

Example:

GET /api/v1/process?url=IMAGE&width=800&format=webp&grayscale=true

One request — resized, converted, and filtered.

Business model: subscription via RapidAPI. Free tier gives 500 requests/month. Paid plans start at $12/mo.
