@Acly Acly released this 14 Aug 07:53

Built against Krita 5.2.11 (official release)
May not be compatible with other versions.

Download: Windows | Linux

Changes since 2.0.0-pre (beta)

  • Improved performance of all models
  • Lower memory consumption on GPU
  • Support BiRefNet HR and Dynamic versions
    • but GPU support is currently limited because they can't allocate enough memory for high resolutions
  • Free up (some) VRAM after using a tool or filter on GPU #47

If you downloaded extra models for the beta version they may no longer work. Please download them again.

Version 2

  • Supports variety of GPU (NVIDIA, AMD, some Intel) on both Windows & Linux
  • Much faster startup and loading time on first use
  • Lower memory consumption
  • Smaller plugin size

It still requires hardware to be reasonably up-to-date: something from the last 8 years should work, but faster is better. Please open an issue with your hardware specs if you find it doesn't work.

  1. Download the plugin: Windows | Linux

Smart Fill Tool

You can find an alternative tool next to Krita's "Smart Patch". It works okay for small areas of photos at certain resolutions. But it doesn't generalize well and produces garbage in other situations. Keeping it for now to maybe experiment with different models.
