Frequently asked questions

Is it free to use?

Yes. It is free, with no sign-up.

Are my files or text uploaded?

No. The AI model, its code library and the processing engine are all served from arbeelabs.com and run on your device, so your photo is never uploaded. Like every page on this site, it also loads fonts and a few PDF helper scripts from public CDNs; none of them receive your photo.

What photos work best?

Photos and illustrations with a clear person or character. It also copes well with hair, but objects, animals and busy scenes without a person may not cut out cleanly.

Why does the first run take longer?

The first time, the browser downloads the AI model (about 25 MB). It is cached afterwards, so later runs are quicker.
