Paddle.js is a browser-based deep learning inference engine for Baidu PaddlePaddle models, running via WebGL, WebGPU, or WebAssembly backends. It can load pre-trained models or convert PaddlePaddle/PaddleHub models, and ships ready-made libraries for OCR, segmentation, face and gesture detection.

Use cases

• run deep learning model inference in the browser
• convert a paddlepaddle model to run on the web
• do ocr in a web page without a server
• human segmentation in the browser
• face detection in a javascript app
• run ai models in a wechat miniprogram
• webgpu accelerated inference in the browser

When to choose

• you need client-side inference of PaddlePaddle models with no backend GPU
• you want prebuilt browser AI features like OCR, face detection, or segmentation
• you target browsers, Baidu Smartprogram, or WeChat miniprograms

When to avoid

• you train models rather than run inference
• you use PyTorch or TensorFlow models without converting to PaddlePaddle format
• you need server-side high-throughput inference
• you need a framework with broad active community support outside the Paddle ecosystem
