Introduction

The Image Transform AI component is a Windows AI component for Copilot+ PCs that enables on‑device image editing and visual transformation across Windows features and applications by providing the machine‑learning models and runtime needed to erase selected foreground objects and generate background content to fill the removed area. It performs context‑aware transformations locally on the device’s dedicated AI hardware, delivering fast, low‑latency machine‑learning inference while keeping image data on the device for privacy‑focused workflows, and it supports Windows experiences such as AI‑assisted image editing, object removal, and background reconstruction in coordination with other Windows AI components, including Image Processing and Image Creation, to complete the on‑device image understanding and creation pipeline in Windows Copilot+.
