| Measured fixture results | Not verified | Not verified |
| Fixture findings | Processes locally with full-size export; smooth areas worked better than complex bookshelf texture. | All three signs were removed while preserving 2048x2048 detail; large reconstructed areas over bookshelves and vines appeared blurred. |
| 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. | 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 | Privacy-conscious users who require 100% local in-browser processing (zero cloud upload) and unlimited free 2048px+ unwatermarked exports | Users willing to sign into a free account to use up to 5 free 2048x2048 unwatermarked exports for simple object removal |
| Result & output evidence | No native output obtained; the preview does not establish final export quality. | |
