Background Removal App

This project allows users to remove the background from their photos using AI.

How it works

Background removal is made possible by using the modnet approach via Replicate. This project allows users to upload a photo which will first be stored in firebase storage, forwarded to a google cloud function managed in rowy, and lastly utilize the Replicate API to return the photo with its background removed. All data such as user profile, generated images, and credit packges are stored in Firestore, while the associated stripe payment webhook and cloud functions are all managed in Rowy.
