# Background Studio

An advanced background-removal web app powered by `rembg`.

## Features

- Drag-and-drop image upload
- Quality, balanced, fast, people, and anime models
- Optional alpha matting for hair, fur, and fine edges
- Before/after comparison slider
- Transparent PNG, WEBP, or JPG output
- Custom JPG background color
- 12 MB upload limit and basic rate limiting
- Optional `API_KEY` Space Secret for API protection

Open `/` for the web interface or call `POST /remove-bg` with a multipart `image` field.

For a public Space, add `API_KEY` under **Settings → Variables and secrets** if you want the processing endpoint protected. Do not commit `.env` files or credentials.
