| Fixture findings | Full-size output without login in this test; visible warm residue around complex curls favors use on defined contours. | Preserves full 2048×2048 resolution and main subject silhouette; semi-transparent halo remains in curly hair gaps. |
| Original historical observation | Retoucher Online scores high on commercial honesty (3 free 2048×2048 unwatermarked PNGs/day without login), but its underlying segmentation model struggles with complex frizzy hair flyaways (mad_band=0.2451, bg_leak=3.424%), leaving a visible warm background halo around outer curls. | Against green and black backdrops, the 2048×2048 cutout preserves the full portrait and outer curl silhouette without cropping, though semi-transparent background residue remains along fine curly flyaways. |
| Suitable uses · historical assessment | Hard-edged e-commerce product photos and ID/profile pictures where users need 1–3 free 2048×2048 unwatermarked PNGs without signing up | Users who need a genuinely free, no-login, full-resolution (2048×2048) unwatermarked transparent PNG cutout with optional solid-color or image background replacement |
