Background Removal Benchmarks & API Unit-Cost Dataset

remove.ac pairs a free in-browser WebAssembly studio with a stateless, remove.bg-compatible Cloud GPU REST API. Instead of cherry-picked single-machine marketing claims, this page publishes rolling 90-day real-device latency percentiles (p50 / p95) alongside exact per-image credit pricing and downloadable JSON / CSV tables.

3. Real-Device Browser WASM Latency Distribution (Rolling 90 Days)

Aggregated from 2,091 anonymous production runs over the last 90 days (most recent sample: 2026-11-13 06:01:04 UTC). Buckets with fewer than 30 samples remain visible and dimmed rather than omitted.

4. Methodology, Limitations & Citation

  • Same-path instrumentation: Timers run inside the production browser matting pipeline rather than a synthetic benchmark harness. WebGPU is currently disabled due to onnxruntime-web fp16/int8 precision bugs (historical rows remain for transparency); live browser sessions run WASM.
  • Privacy-preserving telemetry: Only millisecond durations and coarse hardware buckets (desktop/mobile, CPU core range, model tier) are recorded — never image bytes, filenames, cookies, or user identifiers.
  • Open license: Published under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 (CC BY 4.0). Cite https://remove.ac/benchmarks with the retrieval date.
