Aluo vs Cutout.Pro

Aluo is a web platform for ecommerce sellers to create and edit product imagery with AI. It can remove backgrounds, generate product photos from text prompts or reference images, and edit photos. A canvas editor offers layers, typography, shadows, brand assets, templates, masking, color grading, and instant preview. Batch tools cover resizing, enhancement, compression, watermarking, format conversion, rotation, lighting, filters, and background removal. It supports JPG, PNG, WebP, and other common ecommerce image formats, with watermark-free and HD exports at 2x, 4x, and 8x listed among plan features. Aluo is aimed at sellers using Amazon, Shopify, Etsy, or their own stores, including those without a studio or full-time designer. The free plan is free and includes five one-time credits; Plus is $9.90 a month for 2,000 credits/month. Aluo says uploads are processed in the browser by default and not permanently stored on its servers, though generated outputs may be temporarily cached unless saved.

Cutout.Pro removes image backgrounds and can replace them with other backgrounds. It accepts JPG, PNG, WEBP and BMP files up to 15 MB, with output up to 4096 × 4096 pixels in PNG or JPG. An Erase & Restore brush lets users refine missed background areas or clipped foreground details. Batch processing is available; the Windows and Mac desktop app can process folders. Other access includes Android, iOS, Linux, web and API. Each upload receives a low-resolution preview without a watermark, account or credits, while an HD image download uses one credit. New accounts receive five credits without a credit card. The free plan is available, and the listed subscription with 80 credits per month costs $5 a month. Other subscription and pay-as-you-go credit packages are listed. Main-platform credit purchases have a 14-day refund guarantee, but Shopify App credit purchases are non-refundable. Cutout.Pro was founded in 2018 and is based in Kowloon, Hong Kong.
