## What it is
Magic Copy is a browser extension (Chrome, Firefox, and Figma) that uses Meta's Segment Anything Model to segment a foreground object from an image and copy it to the clipboard. It relies on a server-side vision transformer to compute image embeddings, with an example for self-hosting that service.

## Use cases
- extract a foreground object from an image and copy it to the clipboard
- cut out part of a photo directly in the browser
- segment objects in images using Meta's Segment Anything Model
- copy image cutouts into Figma or other design tools
- self-host the SAM embedding service for privacy

## When to choose
- you need quick background removal or object cutouts while browsing
- you want a browser-integrated Segment Anything experience
- you prefer sending images to your own self-hosted embedding service

## When to avoid
- you need production-grade image editing rather than simple cutouts
- you cannot run or access a SAM embedding server
- you need offline segmentation without any server component
