PhotoRoom alternative
After the background is gone, the whole editor is still there · cutout runs locally in your browser
PhotoRoom specialises in removing and replacing backgrounds on product shots, and it does that well. But once the background is gone and you need to refine the edges, colour-grade, add text and lay it out, batch through the rest and hand over a layered source file, you have to switch tools again.
TutuEdit's AI cutout runs inside your own browser (the @imgly WASM model, about 100MB the first time and never again), free, uncapped, and your images aren't uploaded during the cutout. Afterwards the whole editor is there — refine edges with a mask, colour-grade with curves, add text and lay it out, batch through the rest, export a layered PSD. Features across all these products keep changing; please refer to each vendor's own site.

Key features
Cutout never uploads, and never runs out
The model downloads to your browser once and then infers locally — not a single request carries your image. Open your browser's network panel and check for yourself.
You can correct the cutout; it isn't one-shot
On the Background Remover page: switch the original on the left to “Magic wand”, then click to add and Alt-click to subtract; click the result on the right to drop a piece you don't want. Ctrl+Z undoes that one click, not the whole thing.
The whole editor is right behind it
Refine edges with a mask, colour-grade with curves, add text and lay it out, add a drop shadow as a layer style, batch through the rest, export a layered PSD — no need to switch tools.
Do a hundred at once
Local batch resize, format conversion and compression have no file-count limit and nothing is uploaded while processing; you can also ask the AI in one sentence to do the same thing to a hundred photos.
How to use
- 1 Open an image or a PSDDrag it in, paste a screenshot, or click to pick an image; drag PSD files straight in. On a phone, choose straight from your camera roll. No sign-up.
- 2 Say a sentence, or do it yourselfHand "remove the background and make it white" to the AI; for fine work use layers, masks, curves and the pen tool — switch between the two at any time.
- 3 Every step can be undoneEvery step the AI takes goes into the history panel. Not happy? One click takes you back to before you said anything.
- 4 Export, or hand it to someone else to continue13 formats including PNG / JPG / WebP / PSD / SVG / PDF / GIF / TIFF. Export as PSD and hand it back to Photoshop or Photopea — every layer is still there.
FAQ
- Does the cutout upload my product photos?
- No. The model file downloads once (about 100MB), after which inference happens entirely inside your browser — during the cutout your images are never uploaded to any server. You can verify this yourself: open your browser's developer tools network panel and you won't see a single request carrying image data during the cutout. (When you're signed in, the editor also saves your work automatically to your own cloud projects — that's saving, not the cutout.)
- What can I do after the cutout?
- The whole editor is there: refine the edges with a mask brush, colour-grade with curves and hue/saturation, add text and lay it out, add layer styles such as a drop shadow, batch through several images, and finally export a transparent PNG or a layered PSD.
- Can it handle a lot of images at once?
- Yes. Local batch resize, batch format conversion and batch compression have no file-count limit and nothing is uploaded while processing. You can also ask the AI in one sentence to do the same thing to a batch of photos. This site doesn't cap how many edits the AI makes per round; with many images it may take a few rounds — say "continue" and it carries on.
- Is it free? Do exports have a watermark?
- Local features are completely free, unlimited and need no account; exported images carry no watermark and there's no cap on how many times you export.
