| Measured fixture results | Not verified | Not verified |
| Fixture findings | Removed signs promptly after brushing in this test; free output was reduced to 720px. | All three signs were removed while preserving 2048x2048 detail; large reconstructed areas over bookshelves and vines appeared blurred. |
| Original historical observation | Cleanup.pictures’ signature release-to-erase workflow removes each sign in ~3.3s with clean background continuation; its only limitation is the upfront 720×720 SD resolution cap on the free tier. | With full brush coverage (size 80) in a signed-in free account, inPixio Magic Eraser removes all three signs and exports a 2048x2048 unwatermarked PNG (inpaint_psnr_db=13.26 dB, unmasked_psnr_db=28.41 dB, single-sample server_s=3.51s), though large reconstructed regions over bookshelves and vines appear visibly blurred. |
| Suitable uses · historical assessment | Casual users who want frictionless, unlimited, release-to-erase cleanup for social/web images where 720p suffices | Users willing to sign into a free account to use up to 5 free 2048x2048 unwatermarked exports for simple object removal |
