Remove image backgrounds offline with Python and rembg, for one file or a folder. Use for cutouts, transparent PNGs or removing a background.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
Strip image backgrounds locally with Python + `rembg`, writing transparent PNGs. Runs offline (no API, no login) on a single file or a whole folder.
## Prerequisites
- **`uv`** — verify with `uv --version`. If missing, install it: https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/ (or `winget install astral-sh.uv` on Windows). `uv` handles Python 3.10+ and all dependencies automatically via the script's inline metadata.
- First run downloads the model (`u2net`, ~170 MB) into the rembg cache. Every run after that is offline.
## Usage
The bundled script lives at `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/background-removal/scripts/remove_bg.py`. Invoke it with `uv run` — dependencies (`rembg`, `pillow`) resolve and cache automatically:
**Single image:**
```bash
uv run "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/background-removal/scripts/remove_bg.py" path/to/image.jpg
```
**Folder (batch all images in it):**
```bash
uv run "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/background-removal/scripts/remove_bg.py" path/to/folder
```
**Multiple inputs / options:**
```bash
uv run "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/background-removal/scripts/remove_bg.py" a.jpg b.png folder/ -o out_dir -m isnet-general-use
```

How to install
mdr add imagile-dev/claude-plugins/background-removal@sha256:e3d13a8330761ff0The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261020.ce5808a, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
