DeepNude downloads

1. 01

   An archive with a paywall inside

   It opens, it looks the part, and the first screen asks for a key sold in a private conversation. No receipt, no merchant, and no way to dispute the payment once it has gone.

2. 02

   A chain of offers

   The download button opens a survey, a sign-up form or a second installer, because the page is paid per completion. Whether a file exists at the end of that chain is beside the point for whoever built it.

3. 03

   An Android package in disguise

   Advertised for a computer, delivered as a mobile file that a desktop cannot run at all: what is actually inside one.

4. 04

   A shortcut to a website

   The most honest of the four. It installs nothing and opens a page you could have reached in a tab, which is how all six live services work anyway: what an icon really opens.

It was pulled by the person who wrote it. The original ran on the user's own computer, with no account and no server, and its author took it down in June 2019, four days after releasing it. Nobody bought the project, nobody continued it, and no company holds the name: what the program was and how it worked.

Copies were already loose, and they have not improved. Files that escaped before the withdrawal have been repackaged and re-signed many times over. A re-signed build tells you nothing about who assembled it, which is the reason for re-signing it, and the code inside is seven years old regardless.

The category moved to servers. Every working service now computes on its own hardware and bills by the piece, which is why they all open in a browser and why none of them has any commercial reason to distribute a program: what the browser route asks for instead.

The fifth row is the one most people underestimate. Running an image model locally is not a matter of a fast laptop — it is tens of gigabytes of weights and a graphics card bought for the purpose, which is precisely why the entire category moved onto rented servers and started charging by the piece instead.

1. Check what the extension actually is. A package advertised for Windows that arrives as an Android file cannot run on a desktop at all, and a document that arrives as an executable is not a document. The name before the dot is decoration; the part after it is the only fact in the filename.
2. Check the size against the claim. Image models are tens of gigabytes and none of them ships inside a consumer download. A small archive claiming to contain one is not compressed cleverly, it is empty — and a very large one is carrying something that has nothing to do with the advertised job.
3. Check who signed it. A legitimate program carries a signature that traces to a named developer. On these it traces to a key generated the week the file appeared, if it traces to anything at all.
4. Check what the page wanted first. A survey, a second install or an activation key before the download is a page monetising the attempt rather than selling a product. The same logic runs through the five ways money disappears here.

Windows. This is where the 2019 program lived and where most download pages still aim, which is why the offers are thickest here. Nothing legitimate has been distributed for it since, and a desktop is no better placed than a phone to reach any of the six live services, all of which compute remotely.

Mac. Pages advertising a Mac build are almost always serving the same archive under a different heading; the original was never distributed for macOS in a form anybody could verify. A browser reaches everything a Mac user needs here, at the same rate as everyone else.

Android and iPhone. Neither store carries this category, so the icons that surface under the name open a web page rather than a program. The upside is real: the models run on the operator's hardware, so an entry-level handset performs exactly as well as an expensive laptop, and the only file that ever lands on the device is the result you save.

A picture costs between ₱0.30 and ₱19 across the whole category. The cheap end is a small model at WaveSpeed, which prints a price against every model it rents and credits US$1 — about ₱63 — when an account opens. The expensive end is an Ainudez picture bought on its ₱630 entry pack: 15 credits each, thirty-three of them, at a rate that does not change on a larger pack. Undresswith sits between the two at roughly ₱4, falling to ₱1.60 at its top tier, which is the only volume discount published anywhere here.

Three of the six publish that much before the sign-up form; the other three open their tariff once the account exists. What separates them on price, payment and written deadlines is laid out in the six compared line by line, and which engine each one claims to run is in the rate and the input rules. A welcome balance covers the first attempt on three of them: what the free credits cover.
