Frequently asked questions
How accurate is the description?
It produces a solid one-line summary of the main subject and scene; it is not a detailed paragraph.
Is the image uploaded?
No — the captioning model runs in your browser.
Is it free to use?
Yes — AI Describe is completely free. No account, no watermark, no credits, and no usage limits.
Do my files or prompts ever leave my device?
No. Everything runs locally in your browser via WebAssembly/WebGPU — there is no server that receives your files, prompts, or results.
Which browser and hardware do I need?
A modern browser. Chrome and Edge get WebGPU acceleration for the fastest results; Firefox and Safari run via WebAssembly. The model (~120 MB) downloads once, then is cached for offline use.
Can I use the results commercially?
Yes. You own everything you create — NSS makes no claim to the images, videos, or text you process or export.
Does it work on mobile?
Lightweight tools run on phones; heavier models prefer a desktop with a GPU. The tool picks the best path for your device and falls back gracefully where needed.
Where can I see a step-by-step guide?
Yes — there is a full walkthrough at /how-it-works/ai-describe.
