| Fixture findings | On the standard curly hair portrait anchor (anchor_bgremove_v1), Hello Keyboard Tools delivered a full-resolution 2048×2048 watermark-free transparent PNG. It achieved 99.88% foreground recall with minimal 0.019% background leakage, clean hair boundary matting (mad_band=0.086, SAD(k)=39.7), and zero baked-in checkerboard artifacts. With a verified 2.97s server wait time, deliverable fidelity and performance are exemplary. | Full-size output without login in this test; visible warm residue around complex curls favors use on defined contours. |
| Original historical observation | Not verified | 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. |
