Unfake

What is Unfake?

Unfake is an AI tool from Gaspard+Bruno that converts images with a fake transparency grid — checkerboard backgrounds that only look transparent — into genuine, background-less PNG files. The tool automatically removes the fake grid so images render accurately. Upload your image, let Unfake process it, and download the clean PNG. It is free to use, requires no sign-up, and supports uploads up to 200MB. It is powered by technology from VISIO Studio.

Beyond the web tool, Unfake offers mobile apps for Android and iOS, a Figma plugin, and a Chrome extension. For support, you can email the team at [email protected].

Who created Unfake?

Unfake comes from Gaspard+Bruno Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales with offices in Lisbon, Portugal, and London, UK. The company builds AI-powered tools, including Unfake’s fake-grid removal technology.

What is Unfake used for?

Unfake’s core purpose is fixing “fake.png” images — files with a checkerboard pattern baked in — by turning them into real transparent PNGs that render correctly anywhere.

The company behind it also offers broader services:

• High-resolution texture photography for graphic design, CGI, digital creation, photography studios, and advertising agencies.
• Synthetic materials generation for creative projects.
• Private AI models to protect intellectual property and data, including fine-tuning, deployment, and monitoring.
• Creative testing via sentiment analysis on images, videos, and text — useful for campaign tracking, audits, and meta-analyses.
• Asset management, connecting AI to Digital Asset Management (DAM) systems to publish and track assets across their lifecycle.
• Custom content at scale using datasets and models tailored to specific markets or data types.
• Workflow automation by connecting private models to tools, APIs, and monitoring systems.
• AI consultancy, including content production support, training sessions, and help adopting AI.
• Generative AI deployment and automation to improve accuracy and results.
• Data protection, security, and compliance, including regulatory adaptation and ethical standards.

Notable work includes synthetic campaign creation for Geneva Camarata using their Signature AI.
