Almost every online cutout tool does the same thing: you upload the photo, it's processed on their server, and the result comes back. PhotoCut Studio works the other way around — all processing happens in your browser, and the image never leaves your device. Here's how, plainly.
WebAssembly runs code at near-native speed inside the web page. That makes it possible to run a neural-network model and a segmentation algorithm on your own processor, without sending anything to the cloud. The direct consequence: your photo is never uploaded. No copy on a server, no retention policy to read. It's an architectural difference, not a promise.
Don't take our word for it. Open your browser's developer tools, go to the Network tab and cut out an image: you won't see your file being uploaded. As an extra test, disconnect the internet after the page loads — the cutout still works.
Running the model on your device has a cost: it must be lightweight, smaller than the huge models that run on GPU servers. For clear subjects the result is virtually identical; in very hard cases (very fine hair, busy backgrounds) a cloud model may win. That's why the flow pairs the AI with brushes: the machine handles 90% and you refine the rest.
In exchange, there's no server to pay for — which is why the tool can be free, with no account, no credits and no watermark.
Yes. The model runs in your browser; verify it in the Network tab and by confirming it works offline.
With WebAssembly (near-native-speed code) and ONNX Runtime (which executes the model). The model downloads once and stays cached.
For privacy (your photo never leaves your device) and cost (no per-image GPU, so the tool can be free).
