Yo, so I’ve been digging into this whole AI thing for front-end development lately, and stumbled upon this cool Transformers.js example. Turned it into a sweet little tool, check it out!
Basically, it uses Transformers.js in a WebWorker to tap into WebGPU and run this RMBG-1.4 model. Long story short, you can now use AI to nuke image backgrounds right in your browser. And get this, it only takes half a second to process a 4K image on my M1 PRO!
Here’s the link to the tool: https://html.zone/background-remover
Wanna build it yourself? Head over to https://github.com/xenova/transformers.js/tree/main/examples/remove-background-client for the source code. Oh, and heads up, you gotta be on Transformers.js V3 to mess with WebGPU.
