In their own words
Cutout.Pro
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.
PhotoKit Background Remover
PhotoKit Background Remover removes image backgrounds in an online editor. Clicking an image can make its background transparent, and the cutout and magic eraser tools provide other ways to clear background pixels, including areas of continuous color. Shape clipping removes pixels outside a selected shape, and images can be saved as transparent PNG files. Replacement backgrounds are available, but batch processing is not. The editor also includes photo enhancement, portrait retouching, effects, collage creation, and crop, resize, rotate, and basic editing tools. PhotoKit offers a free online trial; its free plan is listed at free and has limited image downloads with ad support. The listed platforms are Android, API, extension, iOS, Linux, macOS, web, and Windows. The editor can be embedded in a website with an iframe, and integrations describe Google Drive and a Chrome extension. Commercial use is not included. The homepage says its server does not save user pictures and data; the privacy policy says personal data may be transferred to and stored in Hong Kong or another jurisdiction.
