Questions People Ask
Honest answers about how this works.
How exactly does the tolerance slider work?
It measures the Euclidian distance between the RGB channels of the chosen color and each pixel in the image. Increasing the tolerance allows pixels with slightly different shades to be matched and modified.
What does edge softness do?
Softness introduces a linear alpha-blending gradient between fully transparent and fully opaque pixel regions, preventing jagged borders.
Is my personal photo safe?
Yes. All color removal operations are executed directly inside HTML5 canvas buffer loops in your browser window. No files are uploaded to any servers.
