// FAQ

Utilities FAQ

What are Phlegethon Utilities?
Utilities are a set of 10 AI-powered image editing tools built into Phlegethon. They let you enhance, clean up, or transform your images before sending them to the Forge for AI detection bypass.
Should I use Utilities before or after forging?
Always use Utilities BEFORE you send your image to the Forge. Editing an image after bypassing will disrupt the forensic injections the engine embeds — your image will likely get detected again.
Can I try Utilities for free?
Yes. Every utility is free to try — no credit card required. Photo Enhancement, background remove, watermark strip, and the rest of the suite work on the same free account as Gen AI and Forge.
Can I use multiple tools on the same image?
Yes. You can run an image through multiple Utilities tools before forging. For example: remove the background, generate a new background, then enhance the photo — then forge.
What is the difference between Standard and Advanced modes?
Photo Enhancement and ID Photo both offer Standard and Advanced modes. Standard is faster for everyday use. Advanced uses a more powerful model for deeper restoration, better detail recovery, and professional-grade results.
Does Generate Background require a transparent PNG?
Yes. Generate Background requires a transparent PNG as input. Use the Background Removal tool first to remove the existing background, then use Generate Background to replace it with an AI-generated scene.

Polish. Then incinerate detection.
