| Fixture findings | Supports marking multiple areas; reconstruction looked natural, but free output was 720px and the page had ads. | All three signs were removed while preserving 2048x2048 detail; large reconstructed areas over bookshelves and vines appeared blurred. |
| Original historical observation | 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. | 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 | Quick social media or small web graphics where 720px unwatermarked output without login is sufficient | Users willing to sign into a free account to use up to 5 free 2048x2048 unwatermarked exports for simple object removal |
