Are my photos uploaded to a server?

No! This tool uses browser-based local AI. The entire cartoonization process runs directly on your device, meaning your photos never leave your computer.

Why is the image automatically resized to 512px?

To prevent your browser from freezing or crashing. Local AI models require significant device memory. By limiting the input size, we ensure a stable and smooth experience across all devices, including mobile phones.

What types of photos work best?

The 'white-box-cartoonization' AI model performs exceptionally well on portraits (faces), landscapes, and well-lit scenes. Very dark or heavily pixelated images might not produce the best results.

Why does it take a few seconds to run?

Because the AI model runs locally on your device's hardware. The first time you use it, it downloads a lightweight neural network. Subsequent uses are faster, but processing time depends on your CPU/GPU.
