| Measured fixture results | Not verified | Not verified |
| Fixture findings | Processes locally with full-size export; smooth areas worked better than complex bookshelf texture. | One operation removed all three signs; free export was 1280px with a watermark. |
| 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. | SnapEdit lets you paint all 3 signs at once (02_workspace.png) and click Remove for 1 guest coin, erasing all text in 5.50s (03_download.png); free export is capped at 1280×1280 with a subtle corner watermark while Super Erase and 2048px Original require PRO. |
| Suitable uses · historical assessment | Privacy-conscious users who require 100% local in-browser processing (zero cloud upload) and unlimited free 2048px+ unwatermarked exports | Users who like Auto Detect object/person selection or batching multiple small blemishes into a single click |
