Deploy withoutbg in one-click installation.
Self-hosted AI background removal tool that processes images locally with no cloud dependency or per-image fees.
What you can build with withoutbg
withoutbg is a self-hosted AI-powered background removal application that runs a four-stage ONNX model pipeline entirely on your own server. It provides a drag-and-drop web interface for removing backgrounds from product photos, portraits, and marketing images — without sending files to a cloud service or paying per-image fees. The pipeline combines ISNet segmentation, Depth Anything V2 guidance, Focus Matting, and a refiner model to produce clean, transparent-background results from CPU inference alone.
All model weights are bundled inside the Docker image, so there is nothing to configure beyond deploying the container — no model downloads, no GPU required, no external API calls on the processing path.
Key features of withoutbg
Local AI model pipeline
Runs all background removal processing on your own server using bundled ONNX models — no image is ever sent to an external cloud service.
Four-stage processing
ISNet segmentation, Depth Anything V2 guidance, Focus Matting, and a refiner model work together to produce clean edges on hair, fur, and complex subjects.
No GPU required
CPU-based ONNX inference means any standard VPS can run the full model pipeline without GPU hardware or CUDA setup.
Drag-and-drop web UI
React-based interface lets users drop images and download transparent-background results in PNG, JPEG, or WebP format without any setup.
No per-image fees
Self-hosting eliminates per-image charges from SaaS background removal APIs — process unlimited images at a fixed VPS cost.

I'm incredibly happy with Hostinger's VPS hosting! Their uptime is consistently top-notch, keeping my site running smoothly. Whenever I've needed help, their technical support team has been quick, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful.
Everything is smooth and great with Hostinger, the AI chat bot + human chat, if AI can't resolve your question. Oh and them VPS is just fire, no ups and downs. Thank you dev team and everyone else involved. Keep it up 🚀
Finally a VPS hosting company that does it right! Well-priced. Excellent portal that respects their users' time. Seamless backups. Good support. Reliable. Feels rock-solid.
I reached out to Hostinger support after losing access to my self-hosted n8n instance, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Hostinger Agent and Mohammad from the support team were incredibly patient and thorough.
Many thanks to Carla for helping me with this N8N upgrade on my Hostinger VPS. Professional and knowledgeable, thank you again Carla.
Hostinger VPS is absolutely outstanding. It just always works. It is always fast and stable. Never down, never crashes.
The company is doing well, I am very happy with the specific services I use through them. Not as expensive as some places with really great VPS set ups and price plans.
