Nice! Not to be all jaded, but there’s one of these services launching per month (week?) these days. Some are free (but then usually poor quality), others cost money (usually with some resolution limited freebie or credits-on-signup).<p>I run <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;clippingmagic.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;clippingmagic.com</a>, which launched here on hn eight years ago now - time flies [1].<p>We were #1 until the recent surge in DL-based solutions. It’s more fun to be the disruptor, but getting disrupted sure brought some renewed focus - competition works ;)<p>Just updated our DL model - old dogs take a while, but we finally did get a fully automatic solution including hair, which means we’re the only option with both good full auto and an editor (on desktop, didn&#x27;t try this one&#x27;s mobile app - I guess they have some editing options there?)<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=5682831" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=5682831</a>

Canva has this feature, but it&#x27;s only available to premium users. I use it quite a bit when making YouTube thumbnails that contain my face. It&#x27;s nice to have a free alternative.<p>Here&#x27;s another free option: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.remove.bg&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.remove.bg&#x2F;</a>

Wow! I thought Remask AI from Topaz Labs was good, but this did what took a few seconds what took me several minutes of corrections in that other program. It worked quite beautifully for multiple photos that I thought it would choke on.<p><i>Now to start faking my travel to Paris and Milan on Tinder.</i>

Congratulations @vvyoer! We are active paid users of <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.unscreen.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.unscreen.com&#x2F;</a> for video background removal. Do you have plans to add support for video background removal anytime soon?

Wolfram language has the `RemoveBackground` which does this in a single function call: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;reference.wolfram.com&#x2F;language&#x2F;ref&#x2F;RemoveBackground.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;reference.wolfram.com&#x2F;language&#x2F;ref&#x2F;RemoveBackground....</a>

Bravo! That&#x27;s great. I&#x27;ve heard about <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.remove.bg&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.remove.bg&#x2F;</a> but this is next level (or two).

Wow, worked really well on an image of mine where it wouldn&#x27;t necessarily be obvious what to remove. In fact I think it did better than the manual keying I did on it years ago.

Seems to work well based on a quick trial on the web site.<p>Annoying that I seem to have to download the app to see how much it costs.

Neat! For the last year or so, I’ve used remove.bg if I want to quickly create a transparent PNG. N=1, photoroom.com does seem to work a bit faster, but the results don’t seem as accurate and I don’t see a quick way (on the web version) to make minor corrections.

What kind of tech stacks runs this image removal part?

It didn’t work in my picture. It has trees in the background from a small hill looking down.

Please change your logo\casing from &#x27;PhotoRoom&#x27; to &#x27;Photoroom&#x27;. It&#x27;ll look more fluid. There is no need for &#x27;Room&#x27; to stand out. Let it be low key.<p>If you have your own reasons for the current styling then you can totally ignore my request :-)
