How we built a background remover that runs entirely in your browser — and what it taught us about client-side AI
The complete build story — privacy stance, models in the browser, straight-alpha export, the worker rebuild — and the lessons that came out of shipping real client-side AI.
- Fully on-device AI
- Straight-alpha, professional output
- The rebuild that reshaped how we build

Honest AI tiers: Lite, Standard, Pro — sized in gigabytes, not hype
Why naming real model sizes and recommending a tier your device can run beats promising everyone the heaviest model.
- Lite 0 / Standard ~400MB / Pro ~2GB
- recommendTier() probes WebGPU + memory
- Delete downloaded weights any time

Diagnosing a silent failure: the ONNX worker-session bug that broke tool execution
A debugging story a developer hitting the same wall can learn from: the symptom, the trace, the root cause, and the structural fix.
- Silent failure, no stack trace
- WASM heap corruption from an undisposed session
- Fixed by per-job worker isolation

WebGPU vs WASM for client-side ML: what actually changed our inference speed
WebGPU is faster; WASM is universal. Here is how a real tool uses both, and the measured difference it makes.
- 2–5s WebGPU vs 8–15s WASM (RMBG-1.4)
- Automatic capability detection
- Fall back, then retry on GPU failure

Straight alpha vs premultiplied alpha: the export detail that breaks other tools
The single most common reason a free cutout looks wrong in professional software, explained with the actual math and what we do differently.
- The black-halo problem
- alpha = round(mask × 255)
- RGB of transparent pixels preserved
