Clipdrop

Clipdrop is an AI-powered image editing platform that bundles multiple specialized tools into a single web and mobile interface, enabling photographers, designers, e-commerce sellers, and content creators to perform complex image manipulations without professional editing software. Originally created by InitML in 2020 and acquired by Jasper in 2024, Clipdrop leverages Stable Diffusion XL and proprietary AI models to deliver studio-grade results through simple, browser-based workflows.

Key Features

• Background Removal extracts subjects with pixel-level accuracy, handling fine details like hair and transparent edges in roughly two to five seconds per image, with batch processing available on the Pro tier for high-volume product photo workflows.
• Image Upscaler enlarges images by 2x on the free tier or up to 16x on Pro, using AI super-resolution to generate natural-looking detail rather than simple pixel interpolation.
• Cleanup removes unwanted objects, people, text, and blemishes from photos by painting over the area, letting the AI fill in contextually appropriate content.
• Relight adjusts lighting direction, intensity, and color temperature on existing photos, which is especially useful for product photography where reshooting is impractical.
• Text-to-Image generates high-resolution images from written prompts using Stable Diffusion XL technology.
• Uncrop extends images beyond their original boundaries with AI-generated content that matches the surrounding scene.
• Text Remover strips text overlays from images while preserving the underlying background.
• Replace Background swaps backgrounds while preserving the main subject intact.
• Universal Resizer adjusts image dimensions for various social media platforms.

Use Cases

• E-commerce sellers processing product photos in bulk, removing backgrounds and adjusting lighting consistently across a catalog.
• Photographers enhancing low-resolution shots, cleaning up unwanted elements, or adjusting lighting after the fact.
• Designers quickly generating concept art or iterating on visual assets without switching between multiple specialized tools.
• Developers integrating image editing capabilities into their own applications via the Clipdrop API.

Pricing

Clipdrop offers a functional free tier with daily usage limits of approximately 20 uses per tool, though outputs carry watermarks and are capped at standard resolution. The Pro plan removes watermarks, raises limits to 1,000 uses per tool per day, unlocks high-resolution output up to 4K, and adds batch processing and queue-priority access. Pro is priced at approximately $9 per month when billed annually or $15 per month on a monthly billing cycle. A separate usage-based API plan is available for developers.

Platforms and Integrations

Clipdrop runs as a web application and offers native apps for iOS, Android, Windows, and macOS. Plugin integrations are available for Adobe Photoshop and Figma, enabling direct access to Clipdrop tools within established design workflows. The REST API supports programmatic access to all major editing functions with SDKs for popular programming languages.
