# Background Removal
Remove backgrounds from images via [inference.sh](https://inference.sh) CLI.
## Quick Start
> Requires inference.sh CLI (`belt`). [Install instructions](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/inference-sh/skills/refs/heads/main/cli-install.md)
```bash
belt login
belt app run infsh/birefnet --input '{"image": "https://your-photo.jpg"}'
```
## How To
Use Reve for image editing including background changes:
```bash
belt app run falai/reve --input '{
"prompt": "remove the background, make it transparent",
"image": "https://portrait.jpg"
}'
```
Or change background directly:
```bash
belt app run falai/reve --input '{
"prompt": "change the background to a beach",
"image": "https://product-photo.jpg"
}'
```
## Workflow: Generate and Edit
```bash
# 1. Generate an image
belt app run falai/flux-dev-lora --input '{"prompt": "a cute robot mascot"}' > robot.json
# 2. Edit with Reve
belt app run falai/reve --input '{
"prompt": "remove background, transparent",
"image": "<url-from-step-1>"
}'
```
## Use Cases
- **E-commerce**: Clean product photos
- **Portraits**: Professional headshots
- **Marketing**: Assets for design
- **Social Media**: Profile pictures
- **Design**: Elements for compositions
## Output
Returns a PNG with transparent background.
