Cloudinary AI Background Removal

Select Add-on Plan:

Terms of service Privacy policy

Larger plans? Contact us

Take advantage of Cloudinary's sophisticated deep learning algorithms to accurately and precisely remove the background of almost any image in seconds, leaving you with just the main object in the form of a transparent PNG image.

Activate the add-on either by setting the background_removal parameter to cloudinary_ai in your upload or update method, or by setting the effect parameter to background_removal in your delivery URL.

For example, removing the background on this unicorn photo via the upload method, storing only the background-removed image:

Cloudinary::Uploader.upload("cld_unicorn.jpg", :use_filename => "true", :background_removal => "cloudinary_ai")

Or, removing the background from the original image in Cloudinary on the fly:

Cloudinary AI Content Analysis

Select Add-on Plan:

Terms of service Privacy policy

Larger plans? Contact us

Take advantage of Cloudinary’s powerful AI-based object detection and content-aware algorithms to enable features such as object-aware cropping and automatic image tagging. With the ability to select specific object models and even versions of the models, the Cloudinary AI Content Analysis add-on provides the flexibility needed to interact with the content that is important to you.

Example: Use the Ruby SDK to automatically apply tags to an image on upload, based on any objects or categories detected by version 1 of the COCO model, above a confidence level of 0.6:

Cloudinary::Uploader.upload("bike.jpg", :detection=>”coco_v1”, :auto_tagging => 0.6)

The result includes all automatically detected objects and the assigned tags above the confidence level:

“tags”: [“backpack”, “bicycle”, “person”],
“data”: {"coco": {"model_name": "coco", "model_version": 1, "schema_version": 1, "tags": {"backpack": [{"bounding-box": [1700.7, 530.5, 177.6, 295.6], "categories": ["accessory"], "confidence": 0.742 }], "bicycle": [{"bounding-box": [213.0, 760.3, 864.8, 514.4], "categories": ["vehicle"], "confidence": 0.997 }], "person": [{"bounding-box": [1304.0, 395.6, 566.4, 589.6], "categories": ["person"], "confidence": 0.998 }]}}}

Example: Use version 1 of the COCO model for object-aware cropping to deliver a square image that keeps the bike in the image, using the Ruby SDK:

cl_image_tag("docs/bike.jpg", :width=>1000, :aspect_ratio=>"1", :gravity=>"coco_v1_bicycle", :crop=>"crop")
