Verdict
Cutout.Pro is a practical choice for background removal when you want several platform options and a way to process folders on Windows or Mac. Its preview system lowers the barrier to trying it, and API access may suit software projects.

Check the file limits, export formats and refund terms before buying, especially if you use the Shopify App.

The full review of Cutout.Pro
The gist
Cutout.Pro is a background-removal service for people who need clean cutouts, replacement backgrounds or multiple image edits. It suits individuals and teams that want browser, mobile, desktop or API access rather than one platform only.
The service is made by Cutout.Pro, founded in 2018 and based in Kowloon, Hong Kong.
On Android
An Android app is available for the background-removal service. It is also offered on iOS, the web, Windows, Mac and Linux, with API access for software integrations.
The Windows and Mac desktop apps can run folder-based batches.
What it does
Cutout.Pro accepts JPG, PNG, WEBP and BMP images up to 15 MB and 4096 × 4096 pixels each. It removes the background, lets you add a replacement background, and exports PNG or JPG files.
An Erase & Restore brush can fix areas where the background was missed or the foreground was clipped. Batch processing is available on Windows and Mac, and an API is available.
Uploads receive a small, watermark-free preview even when you are not signed in and have no credits. One credit covers one HD image download. Processing is secure; files are deleted automatically and are neither stored nor shared.
Standouts
Support spans Android, iOS, web, Windows, Mac and Linux, and the desktop apps can handle folders of images.
You can inspect the free preview before paying, and a new account includes five credits without asking for a credit card.
Trade-offs
HD downloads use credits, and the free plan is limited. The maximum image size is 4096 × 4096 pixels and the maximum file size is 15 MB.
Subscription credits may carry forward, up to a ceiling of five times the monthly allowance. Main-platform credit purchases have a 14-day refund guarantee, while Shopify App credit purchases cannot be refunded.
Output is limited to PNG and JPG.
Pricing
A free tier is available.
Each HD image download deducts one credit. A new account starts with five credits, and every upload receives a free low-resolution preview.
Verdict
Cutout.Pro suits background removal across Android, desktop and web, especially when API access or folder-based batches are important. Its free preview and starter credits let you check results before committing.
Look elsewhere if you need output formats beyond PNG and JPG, images larger than 4096 × 4096 pixels, or a plan without credit limits.
Getting started
- Open the Cutout.Pro background-remover website.
- Upload a JPG, PNG, WEBP, or BMP image up to 15 MB for a free preview.
- Create an account to receive five credits without a credit card.
- Use a credit to download an HD image, or choose a listed subscription or pay-as-you-go package.
- Install the Windows or Mac desktop app for folder batch processing, or use the service on a supported platform.
Limits worth knowing
The free preview is low resolution; an HD download uses one credit. New accounts receive five credits, while the listed 80-credit monthly subscription costs $5 a month.
