| Measured fixture results | Not verified | Not verified |
| Fixture findings | Removed signs promptly after brushing in this test; free output was reduced to 720px. | Standard erase smoothed complex texture into colour patches; guest download also required login. |
| 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. | MyEdit's free standard removal struggles to reconstruct complex bookshelf geometry behind large signs compared to its paid "Generative AI Removal 👑" mode (Inpaint PSNR 12.53 dB), and requires login to export. |
| Suitable uses · historical assessment | Casual users who want frictionless, unlimited, release-to-erase cleanup for social/web images where 720p suffices | Users with a CyberLink account removing small blemishes or bystanders |
