Open-source licenses & model attributions

ClearPix runs entirely on open AI models and open-source software, executed on your device. We are grateful to the researchers and maintainers below.

AI models

YOLO11 watermark det (community fine-tune)

AGPL-3.0 — Ultralytics YOLO11 base, community ONNX export

Optional deep-detection tier for faint and tiled watermarks.

This community model rides on YOLO11 (AGPL-3.0). ClearPix loads it on demand, unmodified, as a separate downloadable artifact — not compiled into the app. We are evaluating an enterprise-licensed or self-trained replacement; until then the model is OFF by default and only fetched when you enable Deep detection.
