| 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. | Brush refinement was available without login; the recorded 531px canvas limited fine-hair sharpness. |
| Original historical observation | Not verified | Vheer Background Remover achieves 98.78% foreground recall and low 0.43% background leak with convenient Remove/Keep brush tools, though fine hair strand sharpness is softened by the 531×531 interactive canvas resolution compared to sister site BgEraser's native 2048×2048 export. |
