Common Questions & Answers

Does the AI send my images to a server?

No. The AI model runs locally in your browser using WebAssembly. Your images never leave your device.

How accurate is the AI processing?

Results are high quality for most standard inputs. Complex cases may need minor manual touch-ups.

What browsers support WebAssembly AI tools?

All modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge support WebAssembly.

Why is processing slower than cloud AI?

Running AI on-device uses your CPU rather than a server GPU. Processing time depends on your hardware.
