FAQ
Can I paste instead of saving a file?
Yes. Paste anywhere on the page and Scribo reads the image from your clipboard.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. The AI model downloads to your browser once, then all the work happens on your computer or phone. You can check: once the model is loaded, the tool keeps working with your internet turned off.
