Where the model comes from

Tabpic does not bundle the segmentation network, because it is tens of megabytes. The first click downloads the quantized ISNet model and the ONNX runtime from staticimgly.com, which is IMG.LY’s file host. The photo is processed in this tab. It is not sent to Tabpic. Hair, glass, and busy edges can still look wrong. Check the PNG before you rely on it.

Do you upload my photo to remove the background?

Why is the first run slow?

The browser is fetching the model. Later runs in the same tab reuse it.

Is the cutout perfect?

No. It is a general model. Fine detail can be clipped or left behind.
