Background Removal

Remove backgrounds from images via inference.sh CLI.

Quick Start

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

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

How To

Use Reve for image editing including background changes:

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

Or change background directly:

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

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>"
}'
