A privacy-friendly desktop application for removing backgrounds with local AI processing.
I took over an existing background remover from GitHub that works with local AI and doesn't need internet. To make this tool more accessible, I built a user-friendly GUI for it using TKinter.
What makes this tool fundamentally different from popular online services like remove.bg is that it runs completely locally. This means no privacy issues, no uploading of your images to external servers, and no limitations on the number of processed images. The tool is completely free and unlimited to use.
100% privacy guaranteed - everything happens locally on your own computer, no data is uploaded.
Community Impact: I've made this tool available for free so anyone can download and use it. It's an open-source alternative to expensive or limited online services, perfect for people who need to process many images without compromising privacy.
I'm currently working on a Pro version with many advanced features that will offer professional-grade capabilities while maintaining the same privacy-first, local-processing approach.
The Reddit post gained quite some traction in the community, with lots of positive feedback about the privacy-first concept.
