Frequently asked questions

Are my photos and videos uploaded anywhere?

No. All processing happens on your computer. Your files are never sent to a server.

Does FrameWipe need an internet connection?

Not for processing. FrameWipe connects to the internet only when you choose to download the optional Quality model for photo cleanup (about 200 MB, from Hugging Face). The app does not check for updates automatically and does not send crash reports or usage analytics.

What do I need to download after installing?

Most models ship with the app. Two parts are optional downloads: the Quality model (LaMa, about 200 MB) for photo cleanup, and the tracking component for object tracking on Mac (about 390 MB zip). Neither downloads unless you ask for it. Object tracking is not available on Windows.

Which file formats are supported?

Images: PNG, JPEG and WebP. Video: MP4, MOV and WebM. MKV is not supported yet.

What are the system requirements?

Mac: Apple Silicon, macOS 13 or later (Intel Macs are not supported). Windows: Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit (x64).

Is there a Windows version?

Yes. FrameWipe runs on Windows 10/11 (x64) as well as Apple Silicon Macs. Object tracking is Mac-only for now.

Will FrameWipe change my original files?

No. Results are always saved as new files. The file you opened is never overwritten.

Can FrameWipe remove mosaic or restore pixelated areas?

No. FrameWipe does not un-pixelate or de-mosaic images or video.

Is pixelation or blur safe enough to hide sensitive information?

Not always. Pixelation and blur can sometimes be partly reversed. For faces, names, documents or anything sensitive, use solid fill.

Does face detection catch every face?

Not guaranteed. Very small or partly hidden faces can be missed. In photos, check the preview. In video, go through the list of possible misses before you export, and add boxes where needed.

Does text removal bring back what was behind the text?

No. FrameWipe fills the area with background that fits the surroundings. It is a believable fill, not the real content that was covered. In video, fast or complex motion behind subtitles can cause some flicker or ghosting.

What's the difference between burned-in subtitles and a subtitle track?

Burned-in subtitles are part of the picture, so they have to be painted out frame by frame. A subtitle track is stored separately, and FrameWipe can remove it without re-encoding the video.

How do I get updates?

New versions are posted on the same Patreon post as the installers. The app does not check for updates automatically.

Can I get a refund?

Yes. Within 7 days of purchase, email davie@daviechen.com and you get a full refund, no questions asked.
