How it Works:

ProMatte functions as a filter within OBS Studio. It utilizes an AI model to analyze your webcam feed and generate a per-pixel matte that distinguishes you from the background. This matte is then used to apply various effects, such as removal, blurring, or replacement. The upscaling process is guided by the original image to ensure sharp edges, and the system is designed to prevent the render thread from waiting for the AI, maintaining smooth performance even on less powerful hardware.

The tool prioritizes user privacy with no telemetry, no accounts, and no data transmission. All processing occurs locally on your machine.
