Good to know

Live cutout and mask demos have a maximum 900 px long edge. Fine hair, translucent objects and low-contrast edges may need editing. Review the cutout before publishing.

Website demos use small inputs and an anonymous allowance. Production limits depend on your marketplace plan.

Demo limits & data handling

FAQ

Which marketplace should I pick?

Choose an available listing for the capability you need. Compare its current plans, allowance and billing units. Examples on this site support both providers.

How does the demo allowance work?

When enabled, demos share 10 light and 2 heavy dispatched attempts per UTC day, with browser and network limits. This is an anonymous allowance, not a guaranteed per-person entitlement.

What if a live demo is paused?

Use the supplied sample preview and integration examples. Available marketplace listings provide production access independently of the website’s demo gate.

Can I use my own files?

The demo accepts local files up to 2 MiB. Images are limited to 4 megapixels, PDFs to one selected page, and audio to 15 seconds. Review processing and retention details before submitting sensitive data.
