Building an in-browser AI background remover: licences, WebGPU limits and a 17-buffer surprise
I wanted a background remover for Devtoolry with one hard rule: the photo never leaves the browser. No upload, no server GPU, no "free for 3 images" limit. It sounded like a weekend job with Transform

On the cards capped at 16, the fallback goes all the way to ormbg on the CPU at about 15 s a photo. Did you try ormbg itself on WebGPU on those cards, or does its export hit the same storage-buffer limit?
