Core Features

Eight tools that redefine photo cleanup

🤖

Auto Object Detection (SAM3)

Powered by Meta's Segment Anything Model 3. Upload any photo and every object is instantly segmented and highlighted — people, vehicles, signs, animals, clutter. No manual outlining required.

🖱

One-Click Removal

Each detected object becomes a clickable target. Tap once and it vanishes. The AI reconstructs what was behind it using context-aware inpainting. No eraser tools, no feathering.

🎨

Smart Background Fill

When an object is removed, BOARD does not leave a hole. Our diffusion-based fill engine rebuilds textures, lighting, and perspective to match the surrounding scene seamlessly.

📝

Text & Watermark Removal

Overlaid text, watermarks, date stamps, and logos are detected as objects. Click to remove them and the original background is reconstructed underneath.

👤

Person Removal

Photobombers, ex-partners, bystanders. BOARD detects individual people even in groups. Click to remove one person while preserving everyone and everything else in frame.

📚

Batch-Ready Workflow

Queue multiple photos for processing. Each gets auto-detection on upload. Work through your set efficiently without re-uploading or waiting between edits.

💬

Natural Language Editing

Type what you want: "remove the person on the left" or "erase the sign in the background." BOARD's language model interprets your intent and executes the edit.

📱

Mobile & Desktop

Fully browser-based. Works on Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge — phone, tablet, or desktop. No app to install, no software to update. Just open brd.ing and edit.


Technical Deep Dive

How Object Detection Actually Works

At the core of BOARD sits SAM3, the third generation of Meta's Segment Anything architecture. When you upload a photo, the model processes it through a vision transformer backbone that generates dense embeddings for every pixel region. These embeddings are decoded into instance-level masks — one per object — without any user prompt.

The result: within 2-3 seconds of upload, every object is outlined and ready. Hover to preview. Click to select. The detection pipeline runs server-side on GPU clusters, so your device speed is irrelevant.

  1. Upload & Encode Your photo is sent to BOARD's GPU cluster. The vision transformer encodes it into a dense feature map in under 1 second.
  2. Segment & Mask SAM3's mask decoder generates individual masks for every detected object. Each mask is pixel-precise at the original resolution.
  3. Interactive Layer Masks are sent back as an interactive overlay. Hover to see what BOARD detected. Click to select for removal.
  4. Inpaint & Fill Selected objects are removed via diffusion-based inpainting. The model references surrounding context to rebuild texture, color, lighting, and depth.
  5. Output & Download The final image is rendered at full resolution (up to 4K) and returned in the original format: JPG, PNG, or WebP.
“The entire pipeline — detection to download — averages 8 seconds. That is the BOARD workflow: upload, click, done.”
