Key features

Image upscaler

Sharpens and enlarges photos up to 16 times their resolution, unlimited on Pro and Business and limited on the free plan.

Credits buy generations from models such as Nano Banana Pro, FLUX.2, Recraft v4, Ideogram v3, Veo 3.1 and Sora 2.

Bulk image editor

Processes large sets of product photos at once, with 1,000 batch exports a month on Pro and 2,000 on Business.

Pixelcut for Claude

An MCP server adds background removal, generation, upscaling and asset search inside Claude, Cowork and Claude Code at no extra fee.

Use cases

  • Turn a phone snapshot of a handmade product into a clean white-background image for an Etsy or Amazon listing.
  • Strip the background from a talking-head clip and layer the subject over presentation slides.
  • Ask Claude Code to generate hero images for every product in a catalog file through the MCP server.
  • Upscale low-resolution supplier photos before printing them on flyers or packaging.

Pricing

Pricing from
$10/month

Free costs $0 with limited background removal and upscaling. Pro is $10/month, or $8/month billed yearly, with 600 AI credits, and Business is $30/month, or $24 yearly, starting at 3,600 credits and scaling to 180,000.

Ways to save

  • A yearly plan saves 20%, taking Pro from $10 to $8 a month.
  • Seats are bundled rather than charged per person: Pro covers a 3-person team and Business 10, sharing one credit pool.
  • Free exports carry no watermark, so occasional background removal or upscaling can stay on the free plan.

What is Pixelcut?

Pixelcut started as a set of single-purpose AI tools for background removal, upscaling and retouching. Those tools now sit in one workspace for editing and generating both images and video, available as mobile apps, a browser app and an API.

What stands out

  • Core edits stay unmetered. Background removal and upscaling are unlimited on paid plans, so credits are reserved for generative models.
  • A broad model catalog. The credit table lists dozens of image and video models from Google, OpenAI, Black Forest Labs, Kling, Runway and others.
  • Agent-ready. The MCP server and API let coding agents and automated pipelines call exactly the same tools.

Limitations

Generative Fill, Expand, AI Backgrounds and Pro Eraser are capped at 300 runs a day on Pro. Video models burn credits fast, since a single premium clip can cost hundreds. The free plan only offers limited removal and upscaling, and the commercial license is listed for Pro and Business, not for free accounts.

Pixelcut FAQ

Yes. The free plan costs $0 and includes limited background removal, limited upscaling and exports with no watermark. Pro adds unlimited removal and upscaling, access to every AI model, batch exports and a commercial license.

Credits are spent on advanced models, mostly from third-party partners, and costs vary hugely. The pricing table shows the largest Business tier covering up to 180,000 FLUX.2 Klein 4B images but only 360 Sora 2 Pro videos.

Yes. Add https://mcp.pixelcut.ai/mcp as a custom connector in Claude, or run npx pixa-mcp@latest init for Claude Code. Tools draw on the same credits as the web app, with no separate charge for MCP use.

No. Each plan includes seats: 3 people on Pro and 10 on Business. Everyone you add shares the organization's credits and can work on the same assets instead of buying an individual subscription.

Yes. Alongside image tools, Pixelcut removes video backgrounds in about a minute and generates video with models such as Kling, Veo 3.1 and Sora 2, priced in credits per five seconds of output.
