| Fixture findings | Fine hair transitions with little background residue in this portrait test; coverage is limited to the recorded fixture. | Preserves full 2048×2048 resolution and main subject silhouette; semi-transparent halo remains in curly hair gaps. |
| Original historical observation | Ranked #1 in edge accuracy across all 10 tested tools: transition band error mad_band=0.0733, SAD(k)=28.43, and background leak of just 0.014%. Curly hair gaps and sweater edges are remarkably clean. | Against green and black backdrops, the 2048×2048 cutout preserves the full portrait and outer curl silhouette without cropping, though semi-transparent background residue remains along fine curly flyaways. |
| Suitable uses · historical assessment | E-commerce & design workflows needing best-in-class hair edge accuracy where 1024px resolution suffices | Users who need a genuinely free, no-login, full-resolution (2048×2048) unwatermarked transparent PNG cutout with optional solid-color or image background replacement |
