Works okay — tried two images from a newspaper and failed on both — but I'm sure for some it works well. Client-side though so that's something!

I tried a standard school photo of my daughter and it worked pretty great. I guess that in your instance it failed to define the subject of the photo.

Tested this out with quite a few images. It works great. Best AI background removal tool I've tried so far.

Worst reason not to build something is because someone already has/it already exists. Two of my least favourite responses: why? and doesn't x already do this?

This is hackernews, not consumernews.

Great to see more tools that run locally in the browser. What model does this use?

Here's one with a real clean interface that uses RMBG V1.4: https://huggingface.co/spaces/Xenova/remove-background-web
