Pixelcut
What it is
Sellers, creators, and brands turn to Pixelcut for product images, catalogs, ads, and social content. The service combines background removal, upscaling, image expansion, generative retouching, shadows, video tools, and batch editing. Access covers iOS, Android, web, and an API. A free tier sits alongside paid subscriptions and usage-based API credits.
For and against
For
- Free HD background-removal files without watermark or sign-up
- Available on iOS, Android, web, and through an API
- Bulk background removal supports up to 10,000 images
- Includes upscaling, expansion, generative fill, shadows, and video background removal
- Commercial use is offered with the listed paid plans and API
Against
- Background removal and upscaling are restricted on Free
- Web files are limited to 50 MB and 6000 × 6000 pixels
- API tasks draw from a credit balance, including five credits for each background removal
- API customers cannot generate training data for their own models
- The product is proprietary rather than open source
The verdict
Pixelcut fits sellers, creators, and brands seeking repeatable product-image workflows on mobile devices, the web, or through an API. Free access restricts background removal and upscaling; paid tiers add credits, seats, batch quotas, and commercial licensing. The API covers several image tasks and states privacy measures, but each operation uses credits and high-volume enterprise pricing is quote-based. It is a stronger match for batch production and product editing than for users seeking open-source software.

The review
Overview
Pixelcut is an AI platform for product-focused image and video work. It includes background removal, product shots, advertising assets, retouching, image generation, and video editing.
Pixelcut identifies sellers, creators, and brands as users making e-commerce catalogs, ads, and social content. Its browser remover offers HD files for free, with no watermark and no account required.
Features
The web remover takes JPG, PNG, or HEIC files measuring up to 50 MB and 6000 × 6000 pixels. Automatic subject selection can be adjusted using a brush, then downloaded as a transparent PNG. See [[list:ai-background-removers|AI Background Removers]] for this category.
Pixelcut reports upscaling of as much as 16×, frame extension through Expand, generative-fill retouching, AI-created shadows, and placement of cutouts into generated or searched backgrounds. Its video feature removes backgrounds from MP4 frames without a green screen. Image expansion is also covered in [[list:ai-image-expanders|AI Image Expanders]].
Batch tools apply edits to hundreds of files, and the background-removal page says a single bulk job can include up to 10,000 images delivered in a ZIP. AI Actors are presented as retaining character and brand context across generated pictures and videos.
Pricing
Pixelcut follows a freemium pricing model. The Free plan places limits on background removal and upscaling, while exported files have no watermark.
Annual Pro billing is shown as $8 per month, with $10 also appearing on the pricing page. It includes 600 monthly AI credits, all AI models, unlimited background removal and upscaling, three team seats, 1,000 batch exports per month, and a commercial license. Business is shown at $24 per month when billed annually, alongside a $30 figure. It offers 3,600 credits, ten team seats, and 2,000 monthly batch exports, plus Pro features.
API Credits costs $10 per month on a flat monthly subscription and supplies 1,000 credits at $0.01 each. API Enterprise has quoted pricing above 1 million credits monthly. Subscriptions may be canceled at any time.
Platforms
Support documentation lists iOS, Android, and web versions. Pixelcut recommends using a current Chrome release and updated apps from the relevant store.
The developer service is available at developer.pixelcut.ai. Its published operations cover background removal, image upscaling, generated backgrounds, try-on, and outpaint. Claude and ComfyUI appear as integration choices, and Pixelcut offers a Claude MCP server.
Support
Email support is available, with Pixelcut saying replies generally come within one business day. The help center addresses its web, iOS, and Android products.
Developer materials describe authentication, endpoints, credit usage, and a public OpenAPI specification.
Limits and policies
The browser remover accepts files no larger than 50 MB or 6000 × 6000 pixels. Its bulk-removal page sets a maximum of 10,000 images per batch.
Background removal through the API costs five credits per image. PNG and JPEG uploads can return transparent PNGs, alpha masks, or ZIP files combining foreground and alpha-mask outputs. Commercial API work is permitted, but customers cannot use it to make training data for their own models.
Pixelcut says project uploads use encryption in transit, are stored securely, and stay private unless sharing is expressly authorized. API images are removed immediately after processing, are not retained or used for model training, and requests are encrypted in transit. Pixelcut software is proprietary, not open source.
Verdict
Pixelcut brings product-image production steps together, including cutouts, scene generation, resizing, retouching, and batch export. Its free starting option and HD remover without registration suit occasional projects.
Important constraints include browser file and pixel caps, credit-based API operations, and proprietary ownership. Teams should weigh annual billing against expected usage before selecting Pro or Business.
