| Fixture findings | Rectangle selection removed signs with surrounding areas retained; some complex objects became wood texture. | Processes locally with full-size export; smooth areas worked better than complex bookshelf texture. |
| Original historical observation | Its Rectangle Selection mode makes selecting all 3 signs effortless; generates a clean 2048×2048 layer in 4.1s with 35.15 dB unmasked fidelity and zero sign residue. | 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. |
| Suitable uses · historical assessment | Designers who want rectangle/lasso multi-region selection and side-by-side 2048px layer comparison | Privacy-conscious users who require 100% local in-browser processing (zero cloud upload) and unlimited free 2048px+ unwatermarked exports |
