Show HN: Generatebg, a web app to generate high-res backgrounds

https://generatebg.com

Hey HN,

I started learning web-development a year ago as a solopreneur. After 7 months of making play-apps, this is my first serious value-offering.

How generatebg works: 1. Free background removal, paid background generation. 2. The smallest package has 4 credits. Each credit amounts to 1 high-res image and 16 free previews (low-res images).

My models are currently hit-or-miss, which is why I am currently offering 16 free previews per credit purchased. As I improve my models, I plan to reduce the number of free previews.

I am funding this project out of my pocket, which is why I am unable to offer free background generation. My intial focus is on background-generation around object-subjects (say, product photography) and human-subjects (say, portrait photography).

My first real "feel-proud moment" was when I updated my own Linkedin DP with my app's output, and people in my network did not realise it had a generated background. I feel that was a nice little proof-of-concept for this app.

I hope you find such a tool useful; would be super happy and thankful for any feedback.

Hemanth.
