👋 Hey Product Hunt!

I built ClearCutout because I was frustrated with background removal tools: either mediocre results on complex images, or pricing that felt designed to extract maximum money from users, or both.

THE PROBLEMS I SET OUT TO SOLVE:

Most background removal tools struggle with:
- Hair and fur - Often leave choppy edges or cut off fine details entirely
- Transparent objects - Glass, jewelry, and reflective surfaces frequently disappear or get distorted
- Complex backgrounds - When subject colors are similar to the background (one of the hardest challenges in background removal)
- Value for money - Either expensive per-image pricing or limited free tiers

I spent the last three months of 2024 experimenting with and training an algorithm specifically focused on these edge cases. What started as a personal tool for my own projects eventually grew into something I knew others could benefit from, so I decided to turn it into a full product.

WHAT MAKES CLEARCUTOUT DIFFERENT:

🎯 Better Quality on Complex Images - My algorithm was built from the ground up to handle the challenging cases that other tools struggle with.

💰 Better Value Than Competitors - Here's how I stack up:
- Remove.bg Lite: $9/month for 40 images ($0.225 per image)
- Pixelcut Pro: $7.99/month for 100 images ($0.08 per image)
- PhotoRoom Pro: $10.99/month for unlimited* images (variable cost)
- ClearCutout Lite: $9.99/month for 250 images ($0.04 per image)

*For typical 12MP images (4000×3000). ClearCutout offers more images at better per-image value than most competitors.

⚡ Fast Processing - Sub-8 second processing on most images without sacrificing quality.

🎚️ Two Quality Options - Choose Standard for everyday use, or More Precise when quality is critical. You control the tradeoff.

📊 Transparent Credit System - Credits are based on actual image size (megapixels), not arbitrary pricing. You pay for what you process:
- 1 credit for up to 12MP images (most photos)
- 2 credits for up to 24MP images
- 4 credits for over 24MP images
- 2x credits if you choose More Precise mode

🔄 Top-up Credits Never Expire - Monthly credits reset with your billing cycle, but any credits you purchase as top-ups never expire. Ever.

🔧 Built for Workflows - Batch process multiple images with consistent quality. Perfect for e-commerce, agencies, or anyone processing volume.

🔒 Privacy-First - Your images are processed and immediately deleted. I don't retain data or train on your images without explicit permission.

PERFECT FOR:
- E-commerce sellers who need reliable product photography at scale
- Photographers tired of manual cutout work
- Designers working with complex composites
- Marketing teams processing high volumes
- Anyone looking for better quality at better value than current tools

STILL IMPROVING:

Background removal is a constantly evolving challenge, and I'm continuously training and improving the algorithm. While ClearCutout handles most images exceptionally well, I know there are edge cases where there's still room for improvement. If you encounter an image that doesn't turn out as expected, I'd be grateful if you could send it my way for analysis. Your feedback directly shapes future improvements!
