In our live test, it upscaled a 1024px input to a full 2048x2048 watermark-free native PNG in 60.3s, achieving an edge correlation of 0.6668 that significantly outperforms traditional bicubic interpolation while providing uncompromising zero-upload privacy.

The feature FAQ confirms watermark-free transparent PNG/blurred-background downloads with a free account; replacing with a new background allows one free download per day, while premium backgrounds require a subscription. The pricing table says Limited without quantifying daily transparent-PNG limits. General AI credits or the one-daily replacement limit are not applied to transparent cutouts.

| Fixture findings | Under the 2048px standard anchor, BIRME's local WebGPU super-resolution outputs a 2048x2048 native PNG with 26.97 dB PSNR, 0.8897 SSIM, 0.6668 edge correlation (+17.9% over bicubic baseline), and 16.08 dB plate PSNR, completing in 60.3s purely offline on the client. | The preview showed useful deblocking and colour retention; guest download required login. |
| Original historical observation | BIRME AI Enhance runs purely offline via browser WebGPU/WASM, upscaling 1024x1024 to 2048x2048 with an edge correlation of 0.6668, delivering significantly better detail than bicubic interpolation. | MyEdit's 4x upscaler delivers excellent deblocking and color fidelity (PSNR 27.35 dB, SSIM 0.8882) without hallucinated artifacts, though guest previews carry a tiled watermark and require login to export. |
| Suitable uses · historical assessment | Users needing no-login, 100% private, client-side AI image super-resolution without uploading files to external servers | Users seeking high-PSNR denoising and 4x upscaling who don't mind logging into a CyberLink account for 1 free daily export |
