I previously open-sourced a background removal model called Snap. After months of work, I’m releasing Focus, a much improved version with sharper edge handling (especially hair/fur/complex objects).

It’s fully open source (Apache 2.0) and runs locally. I also run a paid API version, but the open source model is completely free and functional on its own.

Focus was initially Python only, but I’m adding more ways to use it. Just released a Docker app with a web UI. No code needed. Windows/Mac apps, Figma plugin, and Blender add-on are next.

Results: withoutBG Focus Model Results (deliberately no cherry-picking. You’ll see where it fails)

GitHub: withoutbg/withoutbg

Try it:

Python

uv pip install withoutbg

Docker (web UI)

docker run -p 80:80 withoutbg/app:latest

Would love feedback on:

  • Which failure cases bother you most?
  • What integrations would actually be useful?
  • Ways to make it simpler to use?
