So uh, I kind of like to use background removers like remove.bg.. However there is an issue with them…

They offer limited resolution of the output image and try charging like ~1$ per full image resolution inference…

That seems un-cheap and I have the knowledge (insert Tai Lopez meme here) to build something like that for myself from ~scratch.

I recently adore NiceGUI for my projects and since this seems like a perfect use case I decided to go for it. There are a few things I have to get working together:

• nice-ish working front to be able to upload/download files
• actual background removal mechanix, but since it’s python this should be doable
• host it somewhere in my infra for it to be usable

Nice to have-s:

• instead of uploading an image pass a URL
• self-managed-file-deleting back-end
• option to select which model is used for the bgRemoval
• publically available on github to finally give back to community!
