README for Python Image Processing API

This Python code represents a Flask-based API for processing images. It utilizes the rembg library to remove backgrounds from images and the PIL (Pillow) library for image manipulation. The API allows users to send an image for background removal and then returns the processed image with the background removed.

Getting Started

To set up and run this API on your local machine, follow these steps:

Prerequisites

Make sure you have the following dependencies installed:

• Python 3.x
• Flask
• rembg
• Pillow (PIL)
• flask_cors

You can install these dependencies using pip:

pip install Flask rembg Pillow flask_cors

Running the API Clone or download the code from the repository.

Navigate to the directory containing the code.

Run the Flask application:

bash Copy code python your_filename.py Replace your_filename.py with the name of the Python file containing the code (the file where this code is placed).

The API should now be running locally. You can access it using a tool like Postman or by making HTTP requests from your application.
