This French-language tutorial is summarized in English from its complete French captions.

This tutorial introduces Image Toolbox, a free, open source photo editor for Android phones and tablets. The presenter explains installation through F-Droid or Google Play, then walks through image editing and on-device AI tools.

The background removal example starts with manual erasing before switching to a downloaded, pretrained model. The presenter selects a model and an output format, saves the result, and checks it in the gallery. The cutout retains a slight edge around the subject, with imperfect separation near light hair against a pale background. The supplied description says the app works offline; the speaker explains that its AI tools process images within the device.

Other examples cover resizing, cropping, format conversion and compression. The tutorial also shows image adjustments and EXIF editing, with a warning that photo metadata can contain GPS coordinates. The presenter says edits affect a copy rather than the original. PDF tools, document scanning, QR codes and file encryption receive a brief overview.

The store comparison focuses on privacy and update delivery. The speaker recommends F-Droid, claiming its build avoids trackers and keeps data on the device, while Google Play may receive updates sooner. These are the presenter's claims, not an independent security audit of either distribution.
