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

After looking into there are actually a ton of these websites out there. This is the first actual open source one I've come across that runs in the browser (using WASM)

Non-OS freemium competitors:

- https://www.erase.bg/

- https://www.remove.bg/

- https://pixcleaner.com/

- https://removal.ai/

- https://bgremover.vanceai.com/

- https://www.no-background.coffee/

- https://icons8.com/bgremover

Thank you for this list! Some of them have excellent quality in terms of processing time and output. The reason we shipped this library is that it's now possible to run the background removal on the client, which can save a lot of costs. Especially, if this is not a one off feature, but used frequently by each user / customer. We also believe that client side processing will only get better and even more optimised, so we're happy to kick this race off with the library :)

Another competitor that has AFAIK the best unit pricing is: https://pixian.ai

https://www.photoroom.com is also very good for some things.

yes good for creating product images but it leaves a watermark in the free version.
