| Fixture findings | Delivered full size with surrounding areas retained; erased regions were regenerated by the model. | Removed signs promptly after brushing in this test; free output was reduced to 720px. |
| Original historical observation | Leonardo.Ai Canvas uses layer-based Erase + Inpaint/Outpaint so non-erased pixels remain at their exact 2048×2048 values (unmasked_psnr=31.25dB, #1 overall) while Leonardo Diffusion XL fills the erased holes with detailed books and plants. | Cleanup.pictures’ signature release-to-erase workflow removes each sign in ~3.3s with clean background continuation; its only limitation is the upfront 720×720 SD resolution cap on the free tier. |
| Suitable uses · historical assessment | Designers who want 100% lossless preservation of unmasked pixels (31.25dB) on 2048×2048 images with prompt-guided hole filling | Casual users who want frictionless, unlimited, release-to-erase cleanup for social/web images where 720p suffices |
