Replace the background of (almost) any image.

rebackground

Replace the background of (almost) any image.

If anyone wants to experiment and include a better image editing model that would be really cool; DALL-E, as good as it is, isn't fantastic with real images and creates some fairly trippy results:

rebackground -i 'craig.jpg' -o 'craig_rainforest.png' -p 'Broadcasting from a rainforest'

Setup

1. Clone the repo

   git clone [email protected]:king-millez/rebackground.git

   cd rebackground

2. Set the remove.bg and OpenAI environment variables.

   • To learn how to set environment variables on your OS, follow this guide. You may find better Windows-specific info here.
   • Set REMOVEBG_API_KEY to the key obtained from following this guide (click the big "Get API Key" button).
   • Set OPENAI_API_KEY to the key obtained from this page. You need an OpenAI account, etc etc.
   • Note: you may need to log out and log back in for environment variable changes (especially on Windows) to work.

3. You can build the application or run it with dotnet. This app should work on Windows, MacOS, and Linux. If it doesn't, let me know and I'll fix it (open a GitHub issue, do not email me).

Usage

If you don't want to compile, just replace rebackground with dotnet run --

You'll need to crop your input images to have a 1:1 ratio, e.g 512x512, 1080x1080, etc.

rebackground -i <input image> -o <output image (will be a PNG)> -p <DALL-E edit prompt>
