On-device AI vs cloud AI
What runs in your browser and what uses credits.
Background removal, object eraser, content-aware expand, enhance, upscale and OCR run on your device using open-source models. They're free and your image isn't uploaded for processing. The first use downloads the model, which your browser then caches.
If this service has a cloud AI provider enabled, some tools also offer a Cloud AI option, and AI image generation is available. Cloud operations show their credit cost before you start and refund credits automatically if they fail.
