License Authors & Contributors README.md Background Removal in the Browser [68747470733a2] Remove backgrounds from images directly in the browser environment with ease and no additional costs or privacy concerns. Explore an interactive demo. Overview @imgly/background-removal is a powerful npm package that allows developers to seamlessly remove the background from images directly in the browser. With its unique features and capabilities, this package offers an innovative and cost-effective solution for background removal tasks without compromising data privacy. The key features of @imgly/background-removal are: * In-Browser Background Removal: Our one-of-a-kind solution performs the entire background removal process directly in the user's browser, eliminating the need for additional server costs. By leveraging the computing power of the local device, users can enjoy a fast and efficient background removal process. * Data Protection: As @imgly/background-removal runs entirely in the browser, users can have peace of mind knowing that their images and sensitive information remain secure within their own devices. With no data transfers to external servers, data privacy concerns are effectively mitigated. * Seamless Integration with IMG.LY's CE.SDK: @imgly/ background-removal provides seamless integration with IMG.LY's CE.SDK, allowing developers to easily incorporate powerful in-browser image matting and background removal capabilities into their projects. The Neural Network (ONNX model) and WASM files used by @imgly/ background-removal is hosted on UNPKG, making it readily available for download to all users of the library. See section Custom Asset Serving if you want to host data on your own servers. background removal js showcase Installation You can install @imgly/background-removal via npm or yarn. Use the following commands to install the package: NPM npm install @imgly/background-removal Usage import imglyRemoveBackground from "@imgly/background-removal" let image_src: ImageData | ArrayBuffer | Uint8Array | Blob | URL | string = ...; imglyRemoveBackground(image_src).then((blob: Blob) => { // The result is a blob encoded as PNG. It can be converted to an URL to be used as HTMLImage.src const url = URL.createObjectURL(blob); }) Note: On the first run the wasm and onnx model files are fetched. This might, depending on the bandwidth, take time. Therefore, the first run takes proportionally longer than each consecutive run. Also, all files are cached by the browser and an additional model cache. Advanced Configuration The library does not need any configuration to get started. However, there are optional parameters that influence the behaviour and give more control over the library. type Config = { publicPath: string; // The public path used for model and wasm files debug: bool; // enable or disable useful console.log outputs proxyToWorker: bool; // Wether or wether not to proxy the calculations to a webworker. (Default true) model: 'small' | 'medium'; // The model to use. (Default "medium") }; Download Size vs Quality The onnx model is shipped in various size and needs. * small (~40 MB) is the smallest model and is in most cases working fine but sometimes shows some artifacts. It's a quantized model. * medium (~80MB) is the default model. Download Progress Monitoring On the first run, the necessary data will be fetched and stored in the browser cache. Since the download might take some time, you have the option to tap into the download progress. let config: Config = { progress: (key, current, total) => { console.log(`Downloading ${key}: ${(current} of ${total}`); } } Performance The performance is largely dependend on the feature set available. Most promintently, ensure that SharedArrayBuffer is available MDN. Due to the security requirements of SharedArrayBuffer two headers need to be set to cross-origin isolate your site: 'Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy': 'same-origin', 'Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy': 'require-corp' Custom Asset Serving Currently, the wasm and onnx neural networks are served via unpkg. For production use, we advise you to host them yourself. Therefore, copy all .wasm and .onnx files to your public path $PUBLIC_PATH and reconfigure the library. cp node_modules/@imgly/background-removal/dist/*.wasm $PUBLIC_PATH cp node_modules/@imgly/background-removal/dist/*.onnx $PUBLIC_PATH import imglyRemoveBackground, {Config} from "@imgly/background-removal" const public_path = "https://example.com/assets/" ; // the path assets are served from let config: Config = { publicPath: public_path, // path to the wasm files }; let image_src: ImageData | ArrayBuffer | Uint8Array | Blob | URL | string = ...; imglyRemoveBackground(image_src, config).then((blob: Blob) => { // result is a blob encoded as PNG. // It can be converted to an URL to be used as HTMLImage.src const url = URL.createObjectURL(blob); }) Debug Outputs Enable debug outputs and logging to the console let config: Config = { debug: true }; Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) If you are running into CORS issues you might want to pass additional parameters to the fetch function via let config: Config = { fetchArgs: { mode: 'no-cors' } }; fetchArgs are passed as second parameters to the fetch function as described in MDN. Who is it for? @imgly/background-removal is ideal for developers and projects that require efficient and cost-effective background removal directly in the browser. It caters to a wide range of use cases, including but not limited to: * E-commerce applications that need to remove backgrounds from product images in real-time. * Image editing applications that require background removal capabilities for enhancing user experience. * Web-based graphic design tools that aim to simplify the creative process with in-browser background removal. Whether you are a professional developer or a hobbyist, @imgly/ background-removal empowers you to deliver impressive applications and services with ease.
