# Background Removal

Remove backgrounds from images via [inference.sh](https://inference.sh) CLI.

![Background Removal](https://cloud.inference.sh/u/33sqbmzt3mrg2xxphnhw5g5ear/01k8d7y07rpmnv85hz2xvhjvbb.png)

## Quick Start

```bash
curl -fsSL https://cli.inference.sh | sh && infsh login

infsh app run infsh/birefnet --input '{"image_url": "https://your-photo.jpg"}'
```

> **Install note:** The [install script](https://cli.inference.sh) only detects your OS/architecture, downloads the matching binary from `dist.inference.sh`, and verifies its SHA-256 checksum. No elevated permissions or background processes. [Manual install & verification](https://dist.inference.sh/cli/checksums.txt) available.

## How To

Use Reve for image editing including background changes:

```bash
infsh app run falai/reve --input '{
  "prompt": "remove the background, make it transparent",
  "image_url": "https://portrait.jpg"
}'
```

Or change background directly:

```bash
infsh app run falai/reve --input '{
  "prompt": "change the background to a beach",
  "image_url": "https://product-photo.jpg"
}'
```

## Workflow: Generate and Edit

```bash
# 1. Generate an image
infsh app run falai/flux-dev-lora --input '{"prompt": "a cute robot mascot"}' > robot.json

# 2. Edit with Reve
infsh app run falai/reve --input '{
  "prompt": "remove background, transparent",
  "image_url": "<url-from-step-1>"
}'
```

## Use Cases

- **E-commerce**: Clean product photos
- **Portraits**: Professional headshots
- **Marketing**: Assets for design
- **Social Media**: Profile pictures
- **Design**: Elements for compositions

## Output

Returns a PNG with transparent background.
