| Measured fixture results | Edge error MAD: 0.0701 (Lower is better) · Global error SAD(k): 26.707 (Lower is better) · Foreground retention: 99.940% (Higher is better) · Background residue: 0.018% (Lower is better) | Edge error MAD: 0.1036 (Lower is better) · Global error SAD(k): 40.928 (Lower is better) · Foreground retention: 99.810% (Higher is better) · Background residue: 0.038% (Lower is better) |
| Fixture findings | Fine hair transitions and strong subject retention in this test; coverage is limited to the tested portrait and conditions. | Complete subject contours with little residue; this free export was only 500px and blurred fine hair. |
| Original historical observation | Hair strand transitions are remarkably crisp and natural (transition-band error mad_band=0.0701, SAD(k)=26.71, gradient error 0.0207), with 99.94% foreground recall and only 0.018% background leak—ranking in the absolute top tier of all tested tools. | High foreground recall (99.81%) and low background leak (0.038%); transition band error mad_band=0.1036, SAD(k)=40.93, with mild edge softening when upsampled from the 500×500 free preview. |
| Suitable uses · historical assessment | E-commerce sellers and portrait designers who want top-tier hair edge precision (mad_band=0.0701) with instant 1080p guest export or 2048p signed-in export | Users familiar with remove.bg's workflow needing quick guest 500px previews or desktop/Photoshop integrations |
