| Measured fixture results | Not verified | Not verified |
| Fixture findings | Removed all three signs with surrounding areas retained; inspect complex backgrounds locally. | Supports marking multiple areas; reconstruction looked natural, but free output was 720px and the page had ads. |
| Original historical observation | Using its signature neon-green brush mask (02_workspace.png), Clipdrop Cleanup completely erased all 3 signs (03_download.png) while achieving the highest unmasked background preservation in the benchmark (unmasked_psnr=25.77dB). | Hama.app lets users brush all 3 signs at once and submit a single /api/hama-inpainting job (8.78s), blending bookshelf and wood-grain backgrounds naturally; its main limitations are the 720×720 free resolution cap and third-party Google AdSense overlays. |
| Suitable uses · historical assessment | Users who prioritize non-destructive inpainting (zero changes outside the brush mask) and fast no-login cleanup | Quick social media or small web graphics where 720px unwatermarked output without login is sufficient |
