Table Transformer — object detection running in your browser

Table Transformer is a 28.8M-parameter ONNX model that finds objects in an image and returns a labelled bounding box and confidence score for each. On this page it runs entirely inside your browser: the 116 MB download comes straight from the Hugging Face repository “Xenova/table-transformer-detection” into your browser cache, and every inference after that executes on your own GPU through WebGPU. That is a one-off download of well under a minute on a normal connection, and small enough that integrated graphics handle it without complaint.

Finds tables in scanned documents instead of COCO objects — the first step of any table-extraction pipeline. In practice people reach for a model like this for counting, cropping, auto-tagging photo libraries and running live detection over a webcam feed.

Available precisions: fp32 (full precision) and q8 (8-bit). fp32 comes first because at this size full precision is both the fastest WebGPU path and the best quality; the quantized variant exists for the WebAssembly fallback and for tight cache budgets. Hugging Face records about 352 downloads a month. It is a specialist choice rather than a default, which is exactly why it is worth trying when the popular model gets your particular input wrong.

Because there is no inference server behind this page, there is nothing to rate-limit and nothing to bill: the only cost of running Table Transformer here is the one-off 116 MB download, and once that is cached the page keeps working with the network switched off.

Frequently asked questions

How large is the Table Transformer download?

About 116 MB for the fp32 build, including the tokenizer and config files the runtime also has to fetch — this is the whole payload, not just the weights file. It is downloaded once and then served from the browser Cache Storage API.

Can Table Transformer run without a GPU?

Yes, through the WebAssembly fallback, which is slower but works anywhere. WebGPU (Chrome or Edge 113+, Safari 26+) is what makes it feel interactive. On WASM, prefer the smaller quantized build.

Do I need a Hugging Face token or an API key?

No. Xenova/table-transformer-detection is a public repository, so your browser fetches the ONNX files directly over HTTPS. There is no account, no key and no server in between.

Is my data uploaded to a server?

No. The model weights are downloaded from Hugging Face to your browser once, and every inference after that runs on your own GPU through WebGPU. Your text, images and audio are never sent anywhere — hjLabs.in has no inference server and no way to see your input.
