# Remove Background Batch remove backgrounds from images using rembg (Python library). ## When This Skill Activates - User says "remove background", "make transparent" - User has images that need transparent backgrounds - User wants to batch process multiple images ## Prerequisites rembg must be installed: ```bash pip install rembg # or pipx install rembg ``` Verify installation: ```bash rembg --version ``` ## How To Use ### Single Image ```bash rembg i INPUT.png OUTPUT.png ``` ### Batch Process Directory **IMPORTANT**: Never output to the same file - use a separate output directory to avoid corruption. ```bash # Create backup first mkdir -p backup && cp *.png backup/ # Process to separate folder mkdir -p processed for img in *.png; do echo "Processing: $img" rembg i "$img" "processed/$img" done # Verify results, then replace originals mv processed/*.png . && rmdir processed ``` ### Process Entire Folder (rembg native) ```bash rembg p INPUT_DIR OUTPUT_DIR ``` ## Output Format - Input: Any image (PNG, JPG, WEBP) - Output: PNG with RGBA (alpha channel for transparency) ## Example Workflows ### Web Assets ```bash cd ~/projects/my-app/public/images mkdir -p transparent for img in *.png; do rembg i "$img" "transparent/$img"; done ``` ### Product Photos ```bash cd ~/products/photos mkdir -p cutout rembg p . cutout/ ``` ## Models Available rembg supports different AI models: | Model | Quality | Speed | Use Case | |-------|---------|-------|----------| | u
