withoutBG

withoutBG is an AI background removal tool for developers, businesses, and individual users who need privacy-friendly local processing or a scalable API for production.

Key capabilities include:

• Open source models for local use: Focus (accuracy) and Snap (speed), designed for clean edges using techniques like depth estimation and saliency detection
• Multiple deployment options: a Dockerized React + FastAPI web app, a Python package (pip install withoutbg), and CLI workflows for batch background removal
• Hosted Pro API (Model Pro) for high-throughput use cases, optimized for AWS Inferentia with published server-side latency (p95 ≈ 800 ms) and a consistent request/response schema that matches local usage
• Format and size support: API supports JPG and PNG up to 22 MB, returning full-resolution outputs

Pricing: Freemium. The Pro API includes 50 free trial credits (30 days), then pay-as-you-go credits starting at €10/100 credits and down to €500/10,000 credits (€0.05 per image).

Notable for combining Apache-2.0 licensed self-hosting (no API calls required) with a higher-quality cloud option, plus explicit privacy details (TLS in transit and no disk storage of customer images per published policy).
