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 — all detected automatically.

🖱

One-Click Removal

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

🎨

Smart Background Fill

When an object is removed, BOARD fills the gap with diffusion-based inpainting. Textures, lighting, and perspective are matched to the surrounding scene seamlessly.

📝

Text & Watermark Removal

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

👤

Person Removal

Photobombers, bystanders, ex-partners. BOARD detects individual people even in groups. Click to remove one while preserving everyone 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 between edits.

💬

Natural Language Editing

Type "remove the person on the left" or "erase the sign." BOARD's language model interprets your intent and executes the edit automatically.

📱

Mobile & Desktop

Fully browser-based. Works on Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge on phone, tablet, or desktop. No app to install, no software to update.

Technical Deep Dive

How object detection actually works under the hood

SAM3: The Engine Behind Detection

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 for interaction.

The detection pipeline runs server-side on GPU clusters, so your device speed is irrelevant. A five-year-old phone gets the same speed and accuracy as a new desktop.

  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 at pixel-level precision.
  3. Interactive Layer Masks are sent back as an interactive overlay. Hover to preview, click to select for removal.
  4. Inpaint & Fill Selected objects are removed via diffusion-based inpainting using surrounding context for texture, color, and lighting.
  5. Output & Download The final image is rendered at full resolution (up to 4K) and returned in the original format.
