Hey Product Hunt 👋
I built pics.ar because sharing an image still involves far too many steps.
Usually, the image is already on your clipboard. You just want to crop it, hide something, combine a few screenshots, remove a background, and send it. Instead, most tools make you find a file, upload it, create an account, export it, find it again, and attach it somewhere else.
pics.ar reduces that workflow to:
Paste → Edit → Share
A few things make it different:
— Paste directly from your clipboard, or drop several images at once.
— Stack multiple screenshots into one clean vertical image.
— Remove backgrounds at full resolution, without watermarks or credits.
— Background removal runs locally in your browser. Your image is not uploaded for AI processing, and you can verify that in the Network tab.
— Nothing leaves your device until you explicitly press Share.
— The resulting link is copied automatically and previews inside WhatsApp, Slack, and Discord.
— Anyone opening the link can keep editing the image; their changes create a new link and never overwrite yours.
— No signup. In fact, there are no user accounts at all.
The first background removal downloads the model to your browser and takes a few seconds. After that, it is cached locally. That trade-off is deliberate: a little more processing time in exchange for privacy, full resolution, and no per-image limits.
I’d especially love feedback on three things:
Is the clipboard-first workflow obvious when you arrive?
Would you trust this with work screenshots you would not upload to a conventional image tool?
Which workflow is most useful to you: screenshot stacking, private background removal, or instant sharing?
Thanks for trying it — you can literally copy an image and press Ctrl/⌘+V on pics.ar.

Love that everything runs in-browser, the privacy angle is genuinely refreshing. One thing I'd find super useful: a quick keyboard shortcut to add arrow or numbered callouts without having to switch tools, since I mostly use it to flag bugs for my team and speed matters there.

Pasted a quick screenshot, cropped and annotated it in seconds, and the background remover actually kept the edges clean. Love that nothing gets uploaded.

Pasted a screenshot and the bg removal ran locally on my machine, which was a nice surprise. Got a clean shareable link in seconds, no watermarks or hoops to jump through.

Pasted a screenshot, cropped and removed the background, and had a shareable link before my coffee got cold. Love that nothing actually leaves the browser.

I was looking for something like this; I use it every day to send a single file and that's it!
