Is there any command to do bulk background removing?

Bulk in what sense? Read a folder?

For anyone wanting a quick and dirty solution:

#!/bin/python3

import os
path_of_the_directory= './sd'

i = 0
for filename in os.listdir(path_of_the_directory):
    input_file = os.path.join(path_of_the_directory,filename)
    output_file = os.path.join(path_of_the_directory,f'{i}.png')
    if os.path.isfile(input_file):
        os.system(f'backgroundremover -i "{input_file}" -o "{output_file}"')
        i += 1

Save as bg.py, update the "path_of_directory" variable and run. It will spit out 0.png 1.png etc.

Hi Thanks for sharing, maybe you can help: There is already a bg.py at "backgroundremover" sub-directory of the master root. I tried to add the code you made + I changed the "path_of_the_directory" but it's not working.

Can you please explain where to add the code you shared? or the new created bg.py with the code you shared ONLY but in what sub-directory? Probably I shouldn't overwrite the original bg.py as it contains the main code, right?

Also, I'm currently using a batch file includes the basic code, do I need to change the command?
backgroundremover -i ./_SOURCE_/image.jpg -o ./_RESULT_/output.png -m "u2net_human_seg"

since the filenames and directory path are overwrite with your new code? (I'm a bit lost oops)

Sorry for the confusion, I'm not a programmer so I don't know how to make it work, I hope you can explain for newbie such as myself.

Thanks ahead! :)

Oh, I didn't realize there was already a bg.py file. I didn't mean for that to be overwritten, but for a new file to be made, it can be named anything but that name will be the file that you run, e.g. if you name it rainbow-unicorns.py then you'd run ./rainbow-unicorns.py after giving it execute permission (I'm on linux, I'm not sure how to run it on Windows).

Modified script for you command:

#!/bin/python3

import os
path_of_the_directory= './sd'

i = 0
for filename in os.listdir(path_of_the_directory):
    input_file = os.path.join(path_of_the_directory,filename)
    output_file = os.path.join(path_of_the_directory,f'{i}.png')
    if os.path.isfile(input_file):
        os.system(f'backgroundremover -i "{input_file}" -o "{output_file}" -m "u2net_human_seg"')
        i += 1

Adding this into the main, but maybe not as dirty
