Roboflow Templates: 100+ Computer Vision Starter Apps
Published Sep 17, 2025 • 3 min read

Today we are announcing a new tool to build the foundation of computer vision applications faster than ever: Roboflow Templates. Templates is a collection of one hundred pre-built computer vision applications.

You can copy templates into your Roboflow account and customize them with your own models, logic, and tools. You can then deploy your app wherever you want to run it: on an edge device, in the cloud, or on the web.

Our first batch of templates includes face detection, vehicle detection, license plate recognition and many more.

Templates are powered by RF-DETR, the state-of-the-art model architecture for object detection, and popular fine-tuned, domain-specific models from Universe.

In this post, we will demonstrate how to build and deploy a simple image background remover application using Roboflow Templates. End-to-end, it should take just a few seconds to deploy a production-ready computer vision application.

The template we use in this post powers our background remover demo.

Setting up the computer vision using Roboflow Templates

Roboflow Templates are simple, publicly accessible Workflows that anyone can add to their project instantly. Let’s walk through how to find the right template and add it to your workspace.

Use Background Remover AI Template

First, signin (or sign up) to Roboflow.

Then, open our template.

You can try out the template by clicking “Try Preview” on the template page and dropping in an image:

In the example above, you can see our template working! But you may be wondering: can I make this my own? Yes, you can! You can copy any template into Roboflow Workflows to use as a foundation for your vision app.

To copy a template, go back to the top of the page and click “Use This Free Template”

When you click “Use This Free Template”, you will be taken back to your workspace. Once there, click “Create Workflow” to add the Background Remover AI Template to your workspace.

You will see that a new Workflow was created, called `remove-background`:

Click “Test Workflow” in the header to open up our testing module, then Drop or Select a file to run inference and test the model.

If you used the same image as in “Try Preview”, then you should see the same result appear in the “Test Workflow” window on the righthand side.

If you like what you see, you’re good to start deploying your app!

All Workflows have a live, Roboflow-hosted endpoint you can start sending images to for inference from your app immediately. Click “Deploy” to browse your deployment options.

You will see many different options, including cloud API and local inference for edge devices.

Conclusion

Roboflow Templates offer a new, streamlined way to build production-ready computer vision applications in seconds. To start, we’ve seeded one hundred pre-built templates, including Lego Detection, Money Detection, Barcode Detection, Signature Detection and many more.

We’re excited to see what you build with Roboflow Templates!
