Clipdrop
Browser-based AI image tools for removing backgrounds, erasing objects, upscaling, relighting photos and generating pictures from text.
What is Clipdrop?
Clipdrop is a website that bundles single-purpose AI image tools you run in the browser. The tool list covers background removal and replacement, Cleanup for erasing objects, people, text and defects, an upscaler that enlarges photos and reduces noise, Relight, Text Remover, Uncrop, a universal resizer for social media sizes and text-to-image generation. Cleanup works by inpainting: you brush over the unwanted area and the model fills in what would plausibly sit behind it. The site names photographers, real estate agents, creative agencies and e-commerce sellers as typical users. Free use is capped at a handful of runs per 24 hours and exports from Cleanup are limited to 720px, while the paid tier raises the daily allowance to 1000 runs, removes the size limit and adds a 16x upscaler. A Cleanup inpainting API is documented for Node.js, SwiftUI and Kotlin projects. The pricing page shows the allowances but not a dollar amount.

Who it's for
Why use Clipdrop
- Each tool does one job, so a quick fix such as removing a background or an object takes a few clicks without learning a full editor.
- Cleanup reconstructs the area behind an erased object instead of just copying nearby pixels, which helps on busy backgrounds.
- You can try the tools for free before deciding whether the higher daily limits and unrestricted export size are worth paying for.
- A documented inpainting API lets developers add object removal to their own apps.
- The subscription is stated to work on both mobile and desktop.
