FAQ

Is this emotion detector free?
Yes. The model runs locally in your browser without per-run billing; first use downloads about 56.8 MB of open-source ONNX weights.
Can it be used for hiring, risk, or medical decisions?
No. Expression recognition is affected by lighting, pose, occlusion, culture, and training data, so use it only for low-risk assistive workflows.
Is the image uploaded?
No. Decoding, preprocessing, and inference happen locally in the browser.
