I've tried https://bigjpg.com https://imglarger.com https://vanceai.com/image-enlarger/ https://www.upscale.media https://photoaid.com/en/tools/ai-image-enlarger https://waifu2x.org <- specifically for animated stuff
Given the similarity of the results of some of these, I'd guess they're using the same model with some input parameter tweaks.
Waifu2x is probably the closest to "reliable" if you're looking to enlarge some sort of animated content.
Since it's Typescript, you obviously need to transpile to Javascript and host it somewhere you control for security (your own server is fine, just make sure the GPL license text is embedded). This is your GPL-respecting distribution of the software
Then in your webpage's index.html or other markup, include a `<script>` tag that links to it.
I believe this is all you need to be compliant with GPL.

If there's any doubt, it seems like you'd be safe releasing a GPL-ed service worker which your website calls, as the boundary when calling a service worker is definitely enough for it to be deemed communication between two distinct pieces of software. This might be a bit difficult with a library that removes the background from your webcam though
Quite different (arguably better but I guess your use case will determine if it's better or worse) results for some images too, e.g. this image (https://www.southwiltonvet.com/files/HedgehogSouthWiltonVet....). The linked demo removes the hands/arms, macOS retains the hands/arms.
On this image (https://media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com/image/upload/streams/2014...) the linked demo makes the hands fade away like Greg Kinnear
So this is just a normal thing you can do in nearly any context that any image is displayed anywhere on macos/ios. Not only no external site required, but not even any particular application required.
(I _think_ as long as I'm doing a hobby project I could use the img.ly CE.SDK for free indefinitely...? The only restriction is on "production" but what does that mean?)
Probably these products don't match what I'm looking for, but it was all a little hard to ingest. That said, background-removal looks very easy to use and probably does fit my needs, so kudos for that. As someone who loves the ease of prototyping 100% in the browser this is also great!
