@imgly/background-removal is a powerful javascript library that allows seamlessly background removal of images directly in the browser. With its unique features and capabilities, this package offers an innovative and cost-effective solution for background removal tasks without compromising data privacy.
Seems to be on par with the other best background remover I've tried.[0] The first one I've come across that's open source and this good. And it works in the browser! This is great, thanks<p>[0] <a href="https://www.remove.bg/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.remove.bg/</a>
This was the first time I heard of img.ly and had a little hobby project I was considering where the tools might be a nice fit... but the terms and cost is extremely opaque. Feels a little surprising given how pleasingly usable and straight-forward this open source software is.<p>(I _think_ as long as I'm doing a hobby project I could use the img.ly CE.SDK for free indefinitely...? The only restriction is on "production" but what does that mean?)<p>Probably these products don't match what I'm looking for, but it was all a little hard to ingest. That said, background-removal looks very easy to use and probably does fit my needs, so kudos for that. As someone who loves the ease of prototyping 100% in the browser this is also great!
Unrelated: anything similar for increasing photo resolution? I frequently encounter cases where users upload low resolution images (transferred using Whatsapp or similar) and need to increase the resolution to get something suitable for printing.
Hmm it works surprisingly well, but it would be practical to have some kind of background area selector to help guide it and a threshold to adjust the removal, since the default setup sometimes messes up ever so slightly in some areas.
