| Measured fixture results | Not verified | Not verified |
| Fixture findings | Processes locally with full-size export; smooth areas worked better than complex bookshelf texture. | Allows full-size guest export; large solid signs were not fully removed in this run and needed repeated adjustment. |
| Original historical observation | Inpaint-web runs the MIGAN inpainting model locally in the browser via ONNX Runtime Web, erasing all 3 signs directly on the 2048×2048 image and exporting a full-size PNG without uploading a single byte to any server. Smooth wood surfaces restore cleanly, while complex bookshelves show lightweight client-model texture patterns. | Aiseesoft Free Watermark Remover Online delivers outstanding commercial honesty (exporting full 2048×2048 unwatermarked images without login, unmasked_psnr_db = 30.74 dB), though its classical pixel-diffusion algorithm is tailored for thin text watermarks rather than large solid object reconstruction. |
| Suitable uses · historical assessment | Privacy-conscious users who require 100% local in-browser processing (zero cloud upload) and unlimited free 2048px+ unwatermarked exports | Users needing a no-login, zero-watermark, full-resolution (2048px) tool to erase semi-transparent text watermarks or small date stamps |
