About

Clipdrop is a web-based collection of AI tools for editing and generating images, built around everyday tasks such as removing backgrounds, erasing unwanted objects, enlarging photos and creating pictures from text descriptions. Instead of learning a full desktop editor, users visit a single page per task, upload an image or type a prompt, and download the result within seconds.

The platform grew out of InitML, a company founded in 2020 by Cyril Diagne, Jonathan Blanchet and Damien Henry, which participated in the Y Combinator Winter 2021 batch. InitML was acquired by Stability in February 2023 and then sold to Jasper in February 2024. Beyond the browser tools, Clipdrop offers an API, described on the site through Jasper's API documentation, that lets developers embed its AI image models directly into their own products.

Key Features

Remove background: Isolates the main subject of a photo with high accuracy so it can be placed on any new background.

Replace background: Moves a subject into a different setting generated by AI, without manual masking.

Cleanup: Removes objects, people, text and blemishes from pictures automatically using inpainting.

Image upscaler: Enlarges images by 2x or 4x (up to 16x on higher plans) while reducing noise and recovering detail.

Text to image: Generates high-resolution, realistic images from a written prompt.

Uncrop: Extends a photo's framing to fit a different aspect ratio or format.

Relight: Re-lights an image with new simulated lighting.

Universal resizer and text remover: Resize images for social media formats, or strip text from any picture.

Pricing & Fees

Pricing: Clipdrop uses a freemium model. The Free plan costs $0 and includes Text to image, Uncrop and background removal, with daily limits of 20 uses for most tools (50 for text removal). A Pro plan adds higher daily limits (1000 per 24 hours), queue skipping and high-resolution output, with a free trial of several days; exact Pro pricing is not publicly listed on the pages we reviewed; check the official site for current plans.
API access: Developers can integrate Clipdrop's models into their own products through a usage-based API.
Commercial use: Clipdrop's terms do not restrict using generated images commercially.
Company history: Created by InitML (YC W2021), owned by Stability from February 2023, then acquired by Jasper in February 2024.

Who It's For

Clipdrop suits anyone who needs quick image edits without desktop software: social media managers resizing posts, e-commerce sellers placing products on clean or generated backgrounds, photographers cleaning up shots, and designers producing visuals from text prompts. The free tier makes it practical for casual users, while the API serves developers who want background removal or image generation inside their own applications. Its per-task web tools also appeal to office users who simply need a transparent image for a presentation.
