Show HN: BGRemovePro – A fast background remover for AI-generated images

https://www.bgremovepro.com/en
2•Scofieldfee•7h ago
Hi HN!

I built [BGRemovePro](https://www.bgremovepro.com), a super simple and fast background remover tool designed especially for AI-generated or stylized images, where traditional background removers often fail.

As someone building and using AI image generation tools, I constantly ran into issues where auto background removal (especially on complex or artistic images) produced jagged results or deleted parts of the subject. BGRemovePro is optimized to handle these kinds of images better using a custom image matting pipeline.

Some key features: - One-click background removal, no login required - Fast inference (< 2s per image) - Handles illustrations, AI portraits, and artistic styles more accurately than generic removers - Free to use while it's in early stage

I built this as a standalone micro-tool to integrate into other image workflows. It’s still in early MVP, and I’d love to hear your thoughts — especially if you’ve used similar tools or have tricky image cases it should support.

Thanks for checking it out!
