High-Quality AI Model

- Outputs full-resolution transparent PNGs

HOW IT WORKS:
1. Install the extension
2. Right-click any image on any webpage
3. Select "Remove Background" from the menu
4. Wait a few seconds for the AI to process (1-5s with WebGPU, 5-30s with WASM)
5. Save the transparent PNG — done!

FIRST USE:
On first use, the extension downloads the AI model (~234 MB). This is a one-time download that gets cached locally. After that, background removal works offline.

PERFORMANCE:
- WebGPU (modern GPUs): 1-5 seconds per image
- WASM fallback (all devices): 5-30 seconds per image
- The extension auto-detects the best backend for your hardware

TECHNICAL DETAILS:
- Uses ONNX Runtime Web for cross-platform AI inference
- WebGPU acceleration when available (Chrome 113+)
- WASM SIMD fallback for universal compatibility
- Model cached in IndexedDB after first download
- All processing happens in an offscreen document — zero impact on your browsing
