The story
Why I'm selling EraserImg
This page is written in the first person on purpose. Get EraserImg is a small marketplace, but EraserImg itself started as one person's problem, not a business plan. Below is the actual sequence of events, without the marketing gloss.
If I were building a platform like this for an agency or a client from scratch, the effort involved would typically be priced somewhere in the $14,000–$25,000 range.

Step 1
How it started
It started with a single photo. I needed to remove the background from an image of myself and couldn't get a clean result. AI chat models can edit images, but they change more of the photo than you asked for, and the surgical edit I wanted was out of reach no matter how the prompt was worded.
Step 2
Why the existing tools weren't enough
I tried dedicated background removal tools like remove.bg and a few others. They worked, but the downloaded result was low resolution unless I paid for a plan, and the free output quality wasn't good enough for what I needed.
Step 3
Three months, most days
So I decided to build my own. What began as a single background removal tool grew into EraserImg over roughly three months of daily work, most days around eight to nine hours, ending up with 99 tools including background removal, format conversion, a QR generator and a GIF creator.
Step 4
Where it started to break
I deployed it on free hobby tier plans, Vercel for the frontend and Hugging Face for the backend, because that's what I could afford at the time. As real usage climbed past what those free tiers were meant to handle, the site slowed down and was clearly at risk of going down entirely.
Step 5
Why sell it instead of shutting it down
Moving to paid production grade hosting was the obvious next step, and it's also where I hit a wall: I don't have the budget for it right now. Rather than let three months of daily work sit unused, I'm selling the complete source code instead.
Step 6
What this listing is not
This isn't a template stitched together for resale and it isn't an abandoned side project. It's the real codebase behind a product that was live and in active use, sold as is with the same setup document I used myself.
What buying it actually means
You get the complete, ready-made source code as a zip: every script and file the live platform runs on. You'll still need to add your own credentials to a .env.local file (Google OAuth, Facebook OAuth, and your Supabase service role and public anon keys are among what's needed, all documented step by step inside the zip) and put it on paid hosting of your own. I'd recommend Vercel for the frontend and Hugging Face for the backend, the same combination I used, plus a domain of your choice.
If you're not technical, the setup document inside the zip walks through where each credential comes from, and searching or watching a short tutorial for any individual step, like generating a Supabase key, usually clears it up quickly.
See it before you buy it
You don't have to take any of this on faith. The live product is linked from the home page so you can try the actual tools yourself before spending anything.
The full source code download only unlocks in your account after payment is confirmed and verified server-side. It is never exposed before that.
