Introduction

Image Transform is a Windows AI component for Copilot+ PCs that enables on-device image editing and visual transformation across Windows features and apps. It provides the machine learning models and runtime needed to remove selected foreground objects and generate background content that fills the cleared area. Running locally on dedicated AI hardware, it delivers fast, low-latency inference while keeping image data on the device for privacy. It works alongside other Windows AI components, including Image Processing and Image Creation, to support on-device image understanding and creation in Windows Copilot+.
