Pixelcut vs Uncrop

Pixelcut is an AI photo and video editor focused on product photography, with tools for background removal, upscaling, image expansion, retouching, product shots, ads, and video. Its web background remover accepts JPG, PNG, and HEIC images up to 50 MB and 6000 × 6000 pixels, and offers free HD downloads without a watermark or sign-up. The editor can upscale images up to 16×, use generative fill for retouching, generate shadows, and batch edit hundreds of files. The background-removal page lists bulk processing for up to 10,000 images in one batch, with ZIP export. The API costs 5 credits per image, shown as $0.05 per image, and accepts PNG or JPEG inputs; outputs include transparent PNG, alpha masks, and ZIP files. Pixelcut is available on Android, iOS, and web, with API access. Its free plan includes limited background removal and upscaling, with exports without a watermark. Pixelcut describes its intended users as sellers, creators, and brands working on product photos, e-commerce catalogs, ads, and social content.

Uncrop is a free web tool for extending photos into layouts used by Instagram. It offers portrait (4:5), square (1:1), landscape (1.91:1), and Story/Reel (9:16) formats. Local expansion methods include edge pixel extrusion, symmetric reflection, ambient blur, and smooth smear. You can also choose blur, solid-color, gradient, or mirror-reflection backgrounds. Uploads support JPG, JPEG, PNG, WEBP, and HEIC. Uncrop says processing occurs in your browser, without sending photos to a server, and that photos and traces disappear when the tab closes or refreshes. Original content is not compressed or downsized, while downloads keep the upload format at the highest quality setting. There is no stated file-size limit, although files above 50MB may process more slowly in-browser. The responsive site works on modern smartphones and listed browsers, and processing can work offline after loading. All features are free without an account; advertising supports the plan. Gemini AI outpainting requires a paid Gemini API key.
