This analysis uses one documented method so repeated runs on the same decoded pixels remain comparable.
Prepare the transparent-edge-halo JSON reportThe source is not overwritten. Analysis produces a separate transparent-edge-halo JSON report.

The selected image is decoded and re-encoded inside this browser tab.
02Working copy released
After download, the preview URL, decoded bitmap, canvas, and selected source reference are cleared.
03Your download remains
Nirmion cannot remove the finished file from your device or browser download history.
Workflow guide
Use image transparent edge halo report with an inspectable review path
Pixels with alpha from 1 through 254 qualify when a four-neighbor is fully transparent or outside the canvas; their decoded RGB means are reported. Compare the result with the untouched source before using it downstream.Social-ready choices
Compare transparent exports for changed boundary color before compositing each asset over representative light and dark backgrounds.
What you receive
Review and download a separate transparent-edge-halo JSON report; the original file on your device remains unchanged.
Decision guide
What image transparent edge halo report measures or changes
Pixels with alpha from 1 through 254 qualify when a four-neighbor is fully transparent or outside the canvas; their decoded RGB means are reported.
Boundary RGB means do not identify visible fringing, premultiplication history, correct matte color, compositing quality, or a required repair. Browser-local processing avoids a Nirmion file upload, but it cannot remove copies stored elsewhere.
MDN Canvas pixel manipulationUseful checks for image transparent edge halo report
- Compare transparent exports for changed boundary color before compositing each asset over representative light and dark backgrounds.
- Create a bounded review result while retaining the original for comparison, correction, or a different method.
- Test representative flat areas, gradients, edges, text, transparency, and high-frequency texture before accepting the output.
Good to know
Important image boundaries
- Why might a PNG not become smaller?
- PNG is lossless and browsers do not expose a quality control for it. Choose WebP or JPEG when reducing file size matters more than exact lossless pixels.
- Are animated images supported?
- No. The workspace accepts still JPEG, PNG, and WebP files. Re-encoding an animated source would otherwise keep only one frame.
- What does clearing the file mean?
- Because processing is local, there is no Nirmion server copy to delete. The tab releases its working references after success; your downloaded output remains on your device.
Questions answered
Frequently asked questions
Does Image Transparent Edge Halo Report upload my image?
No. Supported JPEG, PNG, and WebP decoding, pixel inspection, transformation, and export run in your current browser tab. Nirmion does not send the selected image to its API for this workflow. The result is a separate derivative or JSON report, while the original file on your device remains unchanged and should be retained for comparison.
How does Image Transparent Edge Halo Report work?
Pixels with alpha from 1 through 254 qualify when a four-neighbor is fully transparent or outside the canvas; their decoded RGB means are reported. Only partial-alpha pixels beside fully transparent space or a canvas boundary qualify; opaque and fully transparent samples are not averaged. The method does not infer subjects, restore missing detail, calibrate a display, or develop raw camera data. Compare edges, gradients, text, texture, and transparent areas with the original before relying on the result.
What are the limits of Image Transparent Edge Halo Report?
Boundary RGB means do not identify visible fringing, premultiplication history, correct matte color, compositing quality, or a required repair. The workspace accepts one supported still image up to 20 MB and caps this pixel-intensive operation at 12 million decoded pixels for predictable browser memory use. Results depend on browser decoding and encoding support. Animation, raw development, ICC calibration, layer editing, and batch processing are outside this tool's verified scope.
