Bash wrapper and MacOS app for python rmbg command line tool

GhostBG

GhostBG a.k.a. rmbg is just a Bash wrapper and MacOS app for the Python3 rembg command line utility.

It does pretty much everything you need to remove the background from images in batches.

(installs all dependencies and runs in a virtualenv inside ~/.rmbg)

rmbg is also cross-compatible with all versions of Linux.

External dependencies:

• bash
• python3
• curl (if pip is not installed)

Installation:

git clone https://github.com/phx/rmbg
cd rmbg
./rmbg /path/to/image

rmbg creates an alias in /usr/local/bin, so next time you should be able to simply run:

rmbg /path/to/image

or

rmbg /path/to/folder/*

MacOS app:

mv GhostBG.app /Applications/

You can double-click GhostBG from your Applications, or drag it to your dock and click it.

It will open a Finder prompt for you to select the images you wish to edit.

You can also use it as a droplet by simply selecting the images from Finder and dragging them onto the GhostBG application to start processing them immediately.

Uninstall:

rm -rf ~/.rmbg
rm -rf /Application/GhostBG.app
rm -f /usr/local/bin/rmbg
