The recheck preserves a conflict: official purchase cards list 5 free HD downloads/month without a watermark, while the feature FAQ says free users cannot save or download HD. Free HD availability is therefore not guaranteed. AI credits cover AI backgrounds/generation, not established removal counts.

| Fixture findings | Brush refinement was available without login; the recorded 531px canvas limited fine-hair sharpness. | Strong subject retention and a quick observed response; translucent merging remains around the outer curls. |
| Original historical observation | 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. | Backend API (api-online.inpixio.com/v3/photo/removebg) is fast (2.02s) and generates a 2048×2048 mask (99.70% foreground recall), but outer frizzy hair strands exhibit noticeable semi-transparent webbing (mad_band=0.1177, SAD(k)=57.40). |
