Offline setup, storage & privacy details

Keep this page open and connected until all example photos and colors finish saving. An internet connection is required for the studio availability and maintenance check when the app opens. Cached files do not bypass that launch check. After verification, photo tools run locally without background access checks. Personal photos stay temporarily on this device until removed or the page session ends.

Optional local AI needs its separate model download. Cached studio files do not guarantee AI is ready or access is available.

01 Add your project photo

MAKE IT YOUR OWN

See your wood in your own space.

Add a photo of the wood you want to stain. Then mark the wood areas to preview.

Your photo stays on this device while you work. It is sent to All Neel only if you submit an estimate request. AI selection is optional and runs locally; review every suggested area. JPG, PNG, or WebP · up to 20 MB.

YOUR PHOTO. YOUR FINISH.

Choose the wood, keep the character.

Crop if needed, then mark the wood you want to stain. Use the brush for precise control or optional AI to suggest areas. Review suggestions before applying them.

Select the wood

Optional click-guided AI · Runs on your device

Install the optional on-device AI once (about 25 MB). After installation, this control will say Choose AI Wood Selection on future visits. It suggests outlines when you tap individual wood areas; it does not identify wood automatically. Review every suggestion before accepting it. The manual brush and eraser always remain available.

Select only the fence boards and posts. Then inspect the entire fence line from end to end and remove every non-wood obstruction from the selection: hoses and loops, hinges, latches, handles, brackets, screws or other hardware, chains, cables, wires, mounted fixtures, plants, and anything leaning against or hanging in front of the fence. Choose AI remove object and tap each obstruction; review the red exclusion outline before accepting. Use the eraser for small details and board gaps. Keep natural wood knots, grain, weathering, and shadows selected as part of the fence.

Paint or erase with a mouse or touch. Keyboard: focus the photo, use arrows to move the brush (Shift for larger steps), then Space or Enter to apply the selected tool. Accept or discard all pending outlines before choosing Use this photo.

Only selected wood changes. House paint palettes are not applied to your photo. This is an illustrative preview, not a measured absorption or exact color match.

Color preview note

Digital preview only—not an exact color match. Actual results vary with wood, prep, application, lighting, and screen. Test the stain on your project wood and follow the product label.

WOOD DETAILS

Wood & product guidance

Unknown species: the preview uses a neutral baseline and does not assume a wood type. Identify the species only when you have a reliable basis; otherwise test the selected product on the actual wood.

Current wood condition Compare with washed & prepared

Illustration only. Different wood species and conditions can change how a stain looks and penetrates. Species, porosity, moisture, treatment, age, and preparation affect uptake and final color. Known species use an illustrative response that is strongest for transparent finishes and minimal for solid finishes, alongside substrate tone and grain. Unknown uses a neutral baseline rather than guessing a species. These response factors are modeling assumptions, not measured absorption coefficients and are not calibrated to any manufacturer formula. Test the selected product on your actual wood and follow its label.

Wood Defender: wood & product guidance

Transparent · Cedar Tone. Wood Defender’s wood-type guide distinguishes smooth or aged lumber from other surfaces. Transparent, Semi-Transparent, 200 Series, and Semi-Solid Latex remain separate formulas; choose the appropriate product rather than treating them as one absorption profile. The preview uses a small illustrative species-response adjustment to visible stain tint; it is not a measured absorption rate or a manufacturer-calibrated species-by-formula model.

Manufacturer guidance (opens in a new tab)

The washed & prepared comparison is a modest illustration, not a literal cleaning prediction. Follow the product label for surface preparation and test a physical sample on your own wood.

Illustration disclaimer

A little heads-up: these are illustrative previews, not an exact color match. Wood species, age, lighting, and your screen all make a difference. Always test a sample first. Visit Wood Defender’s official stain catalog (opens in a new tab).

A FINISH THAT FEELS LIKE YOU

Meet your next wood finish.

01

Start with your own wood.

Take a photo or upload a picture of your deck, fence, pergola, siding, posts, beams, or other wood project. Your photo is resized and edited on your device. Crop it if needed, then brush over the wood you want to stain. Optional click-guided AI can suggest separate regions, but it does not recognize wood automatically; review and correct every suggestion before applying it. If you prefer not to upload a photo, open the optional sample-scene collection for 14 fences, 5 pergolas, and 4 decks.

02

Find a color you love.

Choose a wood species or keep Unknown as the neutral no-assumption baseline, then set the current condition: as photographed, aged, unwashed, or aged + unwashed. Preview the surface unstained or browse selected manufacturer colors from all 12 brands. All 42 standard Wood Defender color-and-finish options remain available. Brand and finish filters keep similarly named colors distinct. Transparent finishes show more grain and starting surface tone; semi-transparent, semi-solid, and solid previews show progressively less. Starting conditions are visual approximations, not advice to stain over dirt or skip product-label preparation. Use “Explore this stain” beside the selected finish for official product information, availability, and surface suitability. Only reviewed wood areas are recolored; non-wood surfaces remain unchanged.

03

See the difference. Keep the look.

Explore 0–3 illustrative years after staining, or further weathering for unstained wood, in half-year steps. This is separate from the starting wood condition and is not a forecast of real weathering or stain lifespan. Compare your original photo with the stained preview. Open the project comparison to see Current Condition beside Washed & Prepared using the same photo, species, and stain, then compare up to four stain selections without losing the active project choice. The project summary records the photo, species, manufacturer, stain, color, finish, and preparation. Download the All Neel-branded comparison board or share it as an image file from a supported device.

One preview. Plenty of possibilities.

These AI-created scenes and digitally simulated colors, species, and surface conditions are inspiration, not manufacturer-approved color matches. Stain recolors only reviewed wood areas; non-wood surfaces remain unchanged. Always follow the product label for surface suitability and preparation, and test a physical sample on your own wood. Aged and unwashed effects do not predict absorption, adhesion, or durability. Wood species selections approximate tone and grain response, not actual board replacement. The added brands use selected official samples, not exhaustive catalogs. Custom stain colors are not included. Photo editing stays in your browser session. Photos are shared with All Neel only if you explicitly submit an estimate request. Crop the framing if needed, then brush over the wood or use optional click-guided AI on your device. AI downloads about 25 MB of public model and runtime files and suggests regions, not verified wood: review the green mask, correct it with the brush or eraser, then explicitly apply it. Manual selection remains available if AI cannot run. Offline AI requires its separately cached files and a supported device. Personal-photo condition options add restrained illustrative effects; As photographed adds none and the original-versus-stained slider retains the original photo. The separate Washed & Prepared panel changes only the preparation assumption and is not a literal cleaning prediction. The stain color matcher accepts a sampled photo color, color picker, or hex code and suggests nearby existing catalog colors, not exact matches. Some catalog colors are offered in 5-gallon sizes only.
