Clipdrop is a collection of focused image tools: background removal, cleanup, relighting, uncrop, image upscaling and text-to-image. Each does one job and does it well, and they can be chained. It is the opposite of a monolithic editor and that is the appeal.
Who it is for
A designer doing routine image retouching who wants utilities rather than a full editor.
Key features
- Background removal and replacement
- Cleanup and object removal
- Relight and uncrop
- Image upscaler
- API and Photoshop plugin
Where it falls short
It is a set of utilities rather than a workflow: nothing connects the outputs and there is no batch mode, which hurts anyone processing a catalogue.
Pricing
Free tier gives limited daily uses with a queue and watermark on some tools. Paid is around $10 a month and removes the limits. Individual tools are cheap enough that the suite only pays off if you use several.
