Frequently Asked Questions

WebAI Toolkit is a free collection of AI-powered image processing tools that run entirely in your browser. We offer 6 professional tools: grayscale conversion, face blurring, background removal, image classification, text recognition (OCR), and object detection. All processing happens locally on your device with no uploads required.

No! All our AI image processing tools are completely free to use with no registration required. There are no hidden fees, subscription costs, or usage limits. Simply visit our website and start processing your images immediately.

We support all common image formats including JPEG, PNG, GIF, BMP, and WebP. Our tools automatically detect the format and process your images accordingly. The maximum file size is 10MB per image for optimal performance.

No, absolutely not! This is our core privacy guarantee. All image processing happens directly in your browser using client-side AI models. Your images never leave your device, ensuring complete privacy and security. We cannot see, store, or access your images in any way.

Yes, we are fully GDPR compliant. Since no images are uploaded to our servers and all processing happens locally, there is no personal data transmission. We only use essential cookies for website functionality and optional analytics cookies (with your consent) to improve our service.

We do not collect any personal information related to your images or image processing activities. We only collect anonymous usage analytics (if you consent) to understand how our tools are used and improve the user experience. No personally identifiable information is collected.

WebAI Toolkit works best on modern browsers that support WebGPU or WebGL. Recommended browsers include Chrome 94+, Firefox 90+, Safari 15+, and Edge 94+. For the best performance, use Chrome or Edge with WebGPU support enabled.

WebGPU is a new web standard that provides high-performance access to your device's graphics processing unit (GPU). This allows our AI models to run 2-3x faster compared to CPU processing. If your browser doesn't support WebGPU, we automatically fall back to WebGL or CPU processing.

The first time you use an AI feature (Remove BG, Image Classification, OCR, Object Detection), the AI model needs to be downloaded and initialized. This can take 30-60 seconds depending on your internet connection. Subsequent uses are much faster (5-10 seconds) as the model is cached in your browser.

AI models are cached in your browser's storage to improve performance. The total size varies by feature: Remove BG (~45MB), Image Classification (~25MB), OCR (~35MB), Object Detection (~40MB). Your browser will automatically manage this cache and clear it when needed.

Our background removal uses the RMBG-1.4 AI model, which achieves professional-grade accuracy for most images. It works best with clear subject-background separation and struggles with very fine details like hair or transparent objects. For basic needs, we also offer a traditional color-based removal option.

Our object detection can identify 91 different object classes from the COCO dataset, including people, vehicles, animals, furniture, electronics, food items, and household objects. You can adjust the confidence threshold to show only high-confidence detections and filter results by specific object types.

Our OCR feature uses Microsoft's TrOCR model, which provides excellent accuracy for printed text, handwritten text, and text in images. It works best with clear, well-lit text and supports multiple languages. For specialized documents, we also offer the Pix2Struct model option.

Currently, our tools process one image at a time for optimal performance and user experience. However, our Image Classification feature supports batch processing where you can select multiple images and classify them sequentially with progress tracking.

Slow loading is usually due to downloading the AI model for the first time. Ensure you have a stable internet connection and try refreshing the page. If problems persist, try using a different browser or clearing your browser cache. Chrome and Edge typically offer the best performance.

Common solutions include: 1) Ensure your image is under 10MB, 2) Try a different image format (PNG or JPEG work best), 3) Refresh the page and try again, 4) Make sure your browser supports modern web standards, 5) Check that JavaScript is enabled in your browser.

AI processing is computationally intensive. Your browser may become temporarily unresponsive during processing, especially on older devices. This is normal behavior. Avoid switching tabs or closing the browser during processing. Consider closing other browser tabs to free up memory.

Result quality depends on several factors: 1) Image quality and resolution, 2) Clear subject-background separation (for background removal), 3) Good lighting and contrast (for OCR), 4) Adjusting confidence thresholds (for object detection), 5) Trying different AI models when available. Higher resolution images generally produce better results.
