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.

| 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. | Contours and text were enhanced; the free result included a translucent watermark. |
| 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. | Carved wooden text "REALTEST 2026" and brass robot 5-finger joints are crisp and well-defined, with a semi-transparent SnapEdit watermark overlaid on the bottom-right calibration plate. |
