### Installation

Install it from pypi

```bash
    pip install irembg
```

### Usage as a cli

Remove the background from a remote image
```bash
    curl -s http://input.png | rembg > output.png
```

Remove the background from a local file
```bash
    rembg -o path/to/output.png path/to/input.png
```

Remove the background from all images in a folder
```bash
    rembg -p path/to/inputs
```

### Usage as a server

Start the server
```bash
    rembg-server
```

Open your browser to
```
    http://localhost:5000?url=http://image.png
```

Also you can send the file as a FormData (multipart/form-data):
```
    <form action="http://localhost:5000" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
       <input type="file" name="file"/>
       <input type="submit" value="upload"/>
    </form>
```

### Usage as a library

In `app.py`

```python
    import sys
    from rembg.bg import remove

    sys.stdout.buffer.write(remove(sys.stdin.buffer.read()))
```

Then run
```
    cat input.png | python app.py > out.png
```

### Advance usage

Sometimes it is possible to achieve better results by turning on alpha matting. Example:
```bash
    curl -s http://input.png | rembg -a -ae 15 > output.png
```

<table>
    <thead>
        <tr>
            <td>Original</td>
            <td>Without alpha matting</td>
            <td>With alpha matting (-a -ae 15)</td>
        </tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody>
        <tr>
            <td><img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/danielgatis/rembg/master/examples/food-1.jpg"/></td>
            <td><img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/danielgatis/rembg/master/examples/food-1.out.jpg"/></td>
            <td><img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/danielgatis/rembg/master/examples/food-1.out.alpha.jpg"/></td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
</table>
