# Remove Furniture

`POST /api/v1/tools/remove_furniture`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://pixly.app`
- URL: `https://pixly.app/api/v1/tools/remove_furniture`
- Auth: one of:
  - HTTP bearer
  - OAuth 2 (authorization code, authorization URL `https://pixly.app/oauth/authorize`, token URL `https://pixly.app/api/oauth/token`, scopes: `tools`)

Remove furniture from a photo: empty a room and rebuild the surfaces behind what was taken out, keeping the architecture and camera angle identical — the blank canvas for restaging. By default it also removes the room's own joinery (fitted kitchen, built-in wardrobes, bathroom fixtures); mode 'movable' leaves those alone, and an optional extra takes the floor covering out too, for a full renovation strip-back. Doors always stay. (Declutter is the opposite: it keeps the furniture.)

## Headers

- `Idempotency-Key` string

## Request body

- object
  - `imageUrl` string: Public https URL of the source photo, or a data: URI. Either imageUrl or r2Path is required.
  - `r2Path` string: Storage path of a photo already in the user's Pixly library (from list_library, or returned by an upload ticket) — the alternative to imageUrl.
  - `mode` 'movable' | 'fitted': How far to strip the room. 'fitted' (the default) removes the movable contents AND the room's own joinery — the fitted kitchen and its appliances, built-in wardrobes and shelving, and bathroom sanitaryware. 'movable' removes only furniture, rugs, curtains, art, plants and lamps, leaving the kitchen, built-ins, sanitaryware, floor and doors exactly as they are.
  - `extras` string[]: Extra things to take out, for a full strip-back. Only applies with mode 'fitted' and is ignored otherwise: 'floor' takes the floor covering down to bare concrete screed. Omit to keep the floor. Doors always stay, as do walls, ceiling, windows, structural openings and the camera.
