How it works
Everything happens in your browser - your photo is never uploaded.
Graupner mz-16 and mz-32 radios show model pictures in a Model Link widget as a 24-bit BMP: 158×106, a wide 158×52 (file name starts 2X1_) or a large 480×214 (starts 6X4_, fills the screen - leave no other widgets on that page). There's also a 480×272 start-up screen shown while the model loads (starts S_).
The radio finds the picture by the model's name, so type the name exactly as it is on your radio - the size prefix is added for you.
Copy the file into the image folder on the radio's SD card (System > USB > Mass Storage), then choose it in the widget's settings. If a picture isn't the right size the radio shows its standard model picture instead.
Background removal uses a free AI model that runs on your own device. It downloads once (about 25 MB) and works best with a clear photo of the model against a plain background.
