This version is updated for Gimp 3.0

First you need to successful install rembg

Download the zip file, open RemoveBG.py with text editor, find
aiExe = "C:\\Users\\USER\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Python\\Python310\\Scripts\\rembg.exe"
Replace with your own rembg path

Test successful on ubuntu 24.04

awesome, thank you for getting this working on rc1.

Here is my path set in the windows variable and the python file in the plug-ins folder.

I can not get this to work in my Windows -x64-Gimp-3.0 Development version.
EDIT
I Had to place the python file in its own folder named RemoveBG, and it works great now.

My Windows x64 directory for the RemoveBG.py file.

Hello James.
You know I am very happy when you appear on the site (but definitely too rarely).
Is it possible to have a version for Gimp-2.10 extended with model selection? (I tried but quickly gave up).

You can download here for Gimp-2.10
RemoveBG.zip

You can modify this line to add or delete model
tupleModel = ("u2net","u2net_human_seg", ... )
It won't work if the model need extra parameters, like sam model

Impressive, James. I remember when rembg was posted a while back but could never get this one to work. Used the default u2net algorithm and below's a reduced sized result (reduce to keep the file size down). Not perfect, but for the speed, I'm really impressed. Not sure what all the algorithms do; might have to do some more research for them later. Thanks for sharing.

And have to thank Rod for sharing that as well; should have read the fine print. lol

@James

It's very nice of You to fulfill my request so quickly.

i can't get it working on Linux. Terminal gives me this error

It works fine here. I'm using the PPA installed version of Gimp 3.0 RC2.

Most common problem is wrong path of the rembg
So check your rembg path whether correct or not

I got it working. I just needed the latest rembg and its models

Hi guys,

I can't download the RemoveBG3.zip file from the link in "app[dot]box[dot]com"

I would be grateful if anybody could attach it in this thread.

Many Thanks
Mariano

I still use ver. 2.8, haha.

Gimp-2.10 RemoveBG.py version also work on Gimp 2.8

In the OP, you posted a link for the rembg download, but when I click on the link, I don't see the download for the .exe? Sorry, not overly familiar with github. Thanks.

I figured it out. Downloaded the .exe, installed it. Downloaded the RemoveBG.py for 2.10, opened it up in notepad, had to change it to: "C:\\Users\\bdwoowoo\\gimp-2.8\\plug-ins\\RemoveBG.py" , placed it in the plugins folder, open up GIMP, clicked on python-fu in the header, voila!

Now, making it work, that's another story...

Well, it shows up in the header, and when I click on it the box shows up, but doesn't seem to do anything no matter what settings I use. Hmmm...
