Designers and editors face one of the most repetitive tasks in their workflow — removing backgrounds. Most available tools either charge for every image or compress the quality. For creative teams working daily with assets, that becomes not only costly but frustrating.
That’s exactly the problem we faced within our own design team — spending hours separating humans from backgrounds. So instead of paying endlessly, we decided to build our own solution.
Remove-It is a smart, AI-powered human segmentation and background remover built using U²Net — a state-of-the-art deep learning model for object and human segmentation.
With Remove-It, you can upload an image, and the system automatically detects and isolates human subjects — giving you a clean, transparent background in seconds.
- ⚡ Instant AI background removal using the U²Net model from
rembg. - 🧠 Fully API-based backend built with FastAPI.
- 🧩 Automatic cache cleanup using socket-based file management.
- 🪶 Lightweight & Render-optimized — prevents storage overflows.
- 💾 Large model handling through Git LFS.
- 🌍 Deployed on Render with seamless CI/CD from GitHub.

Smart Cache Cleaning System
Render’s free tier often crashes due to excess temporary file storage. To solve this, Remove-It includes a background socket-based cleanup service that:
Automatically detects when cached files exceed safe limits
Removes them without affecting active requests
Keeps disk usage under Render’s quota
This ensures 24/7 uptime and stable memory performance 🧠⚙️
