Background Removal

Quick Start

Requires inference.sh CLI (belt). Install instructions

How To

Use Reve for image editing including background changes:

belt app run falai/reve --input '{
  "prompt": "remove the background, make it transparent",

}'

Or change background directly:

belt app run falai/reve --input '{

# 2. Edit with Reve
belt app run falai/reve --input '{
  "prompt": "remove background, transparent",
  "image": "<url-from-step-1>"
}'
