How can I remove background from a photo or picture in bulk?

remove-background-local - It's an open-source, local background remover that runs entirely on your own machine. The name pretty much says it all – you remove background from picture without uploading anything to the cloud. No accounts, no API keys, no limits on how many images you process.

The default model is ISNet (fast and good enough for most cases), but it also includes BiRefNet models from 2024 for when you want that extra quality.

How Do You Actually Use It?

Option A – Quick try (temporary):

bash

npx - y remove-background-local

This downloads the package temporarily, runs it, and opens http //127.0.0.1:7860 in your browser. Good for a quick test.

Option B – Permanent install:

bash

npm install -g remove-background-local

rm-bg web

To remove background from picture, this installs the command globally, and you can run it whenever you want. You can also use rm-bg desktop to open it as a native Electron window.
