Every tool we tested runs a variant of the same five-stage pipeline. None of the stages is unique to this category; each is a general computer-vision technique repurposed. Our inpainting entry covers the core method in more depth. The provider decides how much compute to spend at stage 3. That decision, more than any “proprietary model” claim, explains most differences in output and price. ## Which models power these tools? Public evidence points to fine-tuned latent diffusion models, the family described in the 2022 Rombach et al. paper that underlies Stable Diffusion. Providers add three things: a segmentation network to draw the mask, a small fine-tune or adapter trained on the target domain, and a conditioning network for pose so the output follows the original body position. Wavespeed exposes this structure directly, selling a “clothes-changer” model at $0.12 per run alongside other models from $0.07 and video at $0.10 per second through an API. Consumer tools hide the same components behind credits: Ainudez charges 15 credits per image and 50 to 300 for short video, Deep Undress 10 stars per image and 25 per video. Our deepfake entry explains how this differs from face-swap methods. ## Why do results fail on some photos? ## What do queues and credits reveal about the backend? ## Where are the limits set by law and policy? ## What does US law say? > “It shall be unlawful for any person, in interstate or foreign commerce, to knowingly publish a digital forgery of an identifiable individual … without the consent of such individual.” > > — TAKE IT DOWN Act, 15 U.S.C. § 6851 note, accessed September 3, 2026, [congress.gov](https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/senate-bill/146/text) ## How was the check of September 3, 2026 carried out? ## Frequently asked questions **What is «How Undress Apps Work: Inpainting, Models, Limits» about?** A plain description of what happens between an upload and an output, which components the reviewed tools appear to share, and why some photos fail. **Does clothoff.ai operate this service?** No. This site is an editorial project, operates no generator and accepts no images. **Which images may be used?** Only your own photos or photos of adults 18+ who gave consent; details under Responsible AI. **Are the figures still current?** Checked September 3, 2026; providers change terms often, and every change is published with a new date. **How does the editorial team rate services?** Privacy 30, quality 25, price 20, speed 15, support 10 percent — fixed editorial weights. **Where do I turn about a non-consensual image?** To NCII report or to StopNCII.org.
