Background Removal

Quick Start

Requires inference.sh CLI (belt). Install instructions

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

How To

Use Reve for image editing including background changes:

  "prompt": "remove the background, make it transparent",

  "image_url": "<url-from-step-1>"
}'
