| Fixture findings | Fine hair edges and clean gaps with a full-size PNG in this test; findings cover this fixture only. | Fine curls were well retained with low edge error in this test; other subjects are not established by this result. |
| Original historical observation | Delivers crisp hair-edge matting (mad_band=0.0908, SAD(k)=41.38) with 99.87% foreground recall and an ultra-low 0.043% background leak, exporting a 4.78MB 2048×2048 RGBA PNG. | Underlying segmentation model is outstanding (mad_band=0.0748, SAD(k)=27.9, #2 in raw hair edge accuracy), which makes its aggressive cross-product redirect dark pattern all the more unfortunate. |
| Suitable uses · historical assessment | Users wanting no-login 2048×2048 hair-level transparent PNGs with built-in background blur or replacement controls | Users who strictly use the guest no-login button for 1536×1536 exports and ignore the HD sign-up prompt |

| Pricing transparency | 40 / 40 Top navbar clearly shows 10 initial Free Credits for guests and the upload card states "Credits Required: 2 Credits" upfront; removes background without login and directly exports a 2048×2048 RGBA PNG (4.78MB, unwatermarked). | 25 / 40 Guest download silently scales 2048×2048 input to 1536×1536 (75% dimension) without stating pixel dimensions on the button; clicking 'Sign up & Download HD (2048×2048)' and completing Google OAuth redirected to console.pixelbin.io instead of downloading the HD image. |
