Transparent Background is a free Python package that removes backgrounds from images and video using InSPyReNet. It accepts individual files, folders of images or videos, and webcam addresses through its command-line interface; it also offers a Python API and optional GUI. Outputs include transparent RGBA images, saliency maps, green or white backgrounds, blurred or overlaid backgrounds, and composites with another image. The available model modes are base, fast, and base-nightly, with support for custom checkpoints. Static resizing is the default and favors stability over detail; dynamic resizing may sharpen edges but can be unstable. The package supports batch processing and PNG, JPG/JPEG, and MP4 inputs. RGBA output is not supported for video or webcam input. Webcam support is optional, described as unstable, and limited to Linux. Installations are available from PyPI, GitHub, or a local clone, with CPU-only and GPU setup instructions. It runs on Linux, macOS, Windows, and self-hosted systems. The listed plan is free.
