QuickRedact vs InstructPix2Pix

QuickRedact is an innovative photo editing application designed to ensure the privacy of individuals in digital images. The app offers a quick and efficient solution to hide faces in any photo, safeguarding the identity of individuals with state-of-the-art face detection technology that can process even hundreds of faces simultaneously.

With QuickRedact, users can import multiple photos and batch process them with a range of advanced customization options such as emojis, blur, pixelation, and various shape effects that can be tailored for each face individually.

The application operates entirely offline, eliminating the need for a network connection and ensuring that no data is transmitted to the internet, thus prioritizing user privacy. QuickRedact goes the extra mile by removing all metadata from edited photos to prevent any unintentional disclosure of sensitive information like location or camera details. Its commitment to privacy extends to not incorporating any tracking or analytics services.

QuickRedact provides lightning-fast on-device image processing, leveraging the power of the device's GPU, Neural Engine, and Metal framework to offer real-time previews of the final results, maintaining the principle of 'what you see is truly what you get'. It also features a share extension for easy import of photos from various applications.

Developed by a dedicated solo developer, QuickRedact stands out for its crystal-clear pricing model, skipping the trend of subscriptions and in-app purchases for a one-time purchase that covers all devices, forever. The app also values customer interaction, welcoming feedback, and support requests through a designated contact email.

At inference time, InstructPix2Pix generalizes to real photos and user-written instructions after being trained on our produced data. Our model modifies photos rapidly, in just a few seconds, and does not require per-example fine-tuning or inversion because it conducts adjustments in the forward pass. We demonstrate effective editing outcomes for a wide range of input photos and textual instructions.
