BGBye - Background Remover
A free background remover app using 10 cutting-edge AI models.
A new version is in the works that will address server crashes from DDOS, memory leaks, also with 2 new cutting edge bg removal methods. Stay tuned!
I understand the challenge of meticulously removing backgrounds from images, especially when dealing with flowing hair. That's why I created this tool so anyone can remove backgrounds from images and videos for free! You can even remove the sky from landscape photos. Get creative!
I've released the source code for this project. You can run this locally but the min specs are:
- An Nvidia GPU with at least 6GB VRAM
- 16GB RAM

Literally upload one picture, it worked great. Once I have uploaded second, errors, errors, errors
Hello, this is something that i was looking for! I tried to run the model locally, i manage to start the app, but whenever i put a image i get a error message "Error processing image with tracer" and that is for all models... please help :(
P.S. It is also not working for me in the web version here....
Thank you for your efforts!
seems to be erroring again😭 thank u for the fantastic tool🙏
Error processing..... please fix the issue
I’m looking into it but server has been going down more frequently, I should move the video processing part to a separate server …
Sorry about that
Nothing to be sorry for dude, you did a wonderful job, God knows how many users are flooding the servers with requests. That is because you made a great tool, a tool which I don't even see on several of my premium subscribed ai websites which do offer something similar but not as good as yours and they are getting paid for it. Having this said, I run into those error messages too, but to me it is obvious who is causing them....me.....amongst others :) And of course we could debate about the cause, but I think I'm not far from right with my assumptions :) And if I am, you still made a great tool bro!
No need to be sorry bro, what for should you be sorry? For spending countless hours and days getting this tool to work so others can start using it without inhibitions, exhausting or flooding the server with requests (just like I did a moment ago probably;)) and then blame the tool or its creator :) I happen to know just a little about all that is involved with coding this stuff, so I know you spent a lot of time getting this thing up and running.. That itself is amazing, and not done on a lazy Monday, another thing that makes it more amazing is that this functionality is simply being offered by several sites which require a paid subscription. I know, since I am a paying subscriber on numerous sites and boards. I have to pay to make up for my lack of talent :) But what I lack in talent I make up in appreciation so thumbs up dude!! And I won't make many friends by my next statement, but that is okay, it teaches me to cope with a lack of friends as well: consider a small contribution one way or the other, because I don't think you can rent servers without paying for them yourself. Again I'm quite sure I am right :)
Regards from a beginning python coder who will never come even close to your league :)
@Fyrean this tool came in clutch fr but it's not working, could you please fix the issue? Would appreciate it massively.
@Fyrean It is not working again! I've just found this amazing project no more than a few hours ago, then I had to go out for a few hours... I get back and for some unlucky reason it's NOW decided it's the best time to brake.
Can you please fix this as soon as you can?
Thank you BTW for bgbye... this is an amazing website and project!
I hope I can once again use this again soon as I had litrally no time to truly test this out Before this happening.
Fingers crossed!
oh it bluescreened :c rebootin
I must have missed it, because its still saying error processing image. Also thank you so much for getting back. Really appreciate man. :)
Hey there:)
Thanks for a great tool.
I have a GPU, Nividia, but when I run the local installation I only get an option to use cpu
Is there something I missed, or a way to get it to force GPU rendering locally? Otherwise it's quoting 3 hrs for a 6 second clip, and I have a good laptop and RTX3080 card...
What am I missing? Any suggestions are welcome. thanks :)
broken
temp internet connection lost, next you can wait for around 15-20 mins and it should restore on its own, I’m running this on my potato pc afterall
Nothing works anymore, can you fix this?
fixed, server died while I was away at work
Hi, is it broken? Getting errors on all models.
😍
this is absolutely phenomenal, thank you so so so so much!!!! bless!!!!
Hi!! Amazing tool, soooo helpful and easy and fun to use!
Getting errors on all models today. Not sure if it heeds a kick or what!
Thanks again for making the tool :)
my University has a power outage :(
hello, extremly helpful, thank you for your work, is there a way to use this as in batch like with folder input and folder output ? if there's a way i would like to donate something, tell me how ;)
do you have an nvidia GPU? If you do you can quickly install and run the best model yourself (inspyrenet) You only need to run one command to install (as one line):
Then to run it on an entire folder just
If you don’t have a GPU then the install command is
for CPU-only (alot slower)
Yes i do have a 4080 :D , works well, thank you for sharing !
if people follow this path, the command to launch the UI is
transparent-background-gui
Hey man first off, this site has been a huge help for me as a student who needs to do multiple images for my various projects.
I'm currently facing a problem wherein my attempts always show errors and I can't remove any backgrounds as of the moment
Have you tried again recently? I suspect some of the dependencies were down for a while - I tried to install a local version via their github and had some issues too around the same time you posted this.
The online version is working for me today, though. Try it again?
Thx but The only usable one was BRIA
Nice too thx for the developers. I will donate If I had money (im 10)
sry I’ll restart the server. Also keep in mind many models cannot accept extreme image sizes (too narrow, tall, or too small)
Ok :)
BTW my account got hacked once I used remove.bg
thank you SO MUCH <3
Do you have a kofi or something? would love to support this tool, I use it all the time for making NPCs in my D&D games :D
This is very cool! The only thing that i have noticed is that with the "inspyrenet" model it doesn't work if the image is any wider than square, is this a limitation of that model or some sort of bug? Other than that love this tool, and thanks for hosting it on your own server!
Its a limitation of the model yes. I’m glad you like the app!
thanks! That explains a lot. Do you have any future plans to include other models similar to inspyrenet that could support wider images? Since i noticed that for basically every single image i have tried, that model seemed to work best.
extremely useful especially since i've been working with pixel art and no other tool could remove the background without leaving nasty traces behind, does this have any limitations on nsfw? similar tools like this usually detect and block that kinda stuff.
One more thing u could improve on this tool is add an option to paint back areas, sometimes it removes things that don't make sense
no limitations (aside from max image size). I tried to add a “restore” brush but its not working yet sry
i hope u will figure that out somehow one day because its what holding this tool back the most imo
I have a question. I am still learning so i want to know how much you pay to host this website? Is it expensive to run this on webapp?
it is hosted on my home PC so there’s no hosting cost. I use Cloudflare tunnel (free service) to connect my PC server (its a nodeJS webserver + python ML server) to my domain.
the problem is Xfinity keeps dropping my home internet connection >.>
Ohh so you only need to pay for electricity cost only. Thanks
do note that when you host such a computationally expensive project on your own hardware, and it gets used by many users, you’ll have to expect your GPU to wear out faster
thats awesome that you are running this on your own server very inspirational. because this app works great
Is it just me or has it stopped working recently?
server occasionally restarts, but sometimes it failed sry
Oh, no worries!
Amazing tool btw, I've been using it ever since the first release pretty much :)
Much appreciated!
this is amazing! thank you!
Thanks ♥️
Excellent work. Thank you!
ty
THANKS, It is such a big help when editing photos! Good luck with other projects. :D
A Must bookmark!
Excellent tool! Image had some wire mesh in it, and the Inspyrenet algorithm worked perfectly for removing the background between the wires!
Really quick and does the work fairly well.
glad to know!
Thanks for posting on the stablediffusion sub reddit. I would have never of found such a remarkable tool. Thank you for your creation.
yw!
thank you,this tool works better than any I've ever used,inspyrenet is the best methods for me.
Nice yea Bria and inspyrenet are the two best performing models
Seriously unreal how good this is. Thank you.

Thanks for giving us that tool friend. Not only it's very effective, it's also free. No credit bullshit ❤️
❤️
Works great!
awesome c:
