About
Ximilar is a comprehensive visual AI platform designed for businesses that need to automate and enhance their image workflows. It offers an extensive suite of ready-to-use solutions covering fashion (tagging, product description, color extraction, fashion search), home decor (tagging, search, product description), stock photos (tagging, multilingual search, photo enhancing), and collectibles (AI recognition, card grading, price search). Beyond off-the-shelf tools, Ximilar provides powerful image utilities including background removal and image upscaling. For businesses with unique needs, Ximilar offers semi-custom and fully custom AI solutions — clients can add their own labels, object categories, attributes, taxonomies, or languages on top of existing pre-trained models, or commission entirely new image and video processing pipelines from scratch. The platform also includes a no-code computer vision builder where teams can create image classification, regression, and object detection models without coding, annotate datasets, and chain multiple AI models together using Flows. Ximilar's API-first architecture makes it straightforward for developers to integrate visual AI capabilities into websites, apps, or ecommerce platforms. It is well-suited for fashion retailers, marketplaces, stock photo agencies, collectibles platforms, real estate companies, and any business seeking to automate image understanding and search at scale.
