Remove image backgrounds locally — no API key, no internet, no login required. Built for Python beginners. Works on Windows, Mac & Linux.

This project gives you 4 different ways to remove the background from any image using Python — pick the one that suits you best:

Download Python from python.org if you don't have it.
Check your version:

python --version

git clone https://github.com/ivengexnce/python-background-remover.git
cd python-background-remover

pip install -r requirements.txt

⏳ First run will download the AI model (~170MB). This only happens once.

Option 1 — Simple terminal tool (just type your image path):

python bg_remove_normal.py

Option 2 — Terminal with browse option:

python bg_remover.py

Option 3 — GUI window (click to select one image):

python bg_removes_interactive.py

Option 4 — GUI window (single or batch processing):

python bg_removes.py

rembg
Pillow

tkinter comes pre-installed with Python on most systems.

• Add a before/after image preview
• Save outputs to a custom folder
