What is PhotoScissors?

PhotoScissors is an AI-powered background removal tool that uses deep neural networks to automatically detect and extract the subject of a photo from its background. It handles complex edges such as hair, fur, and semi-transparent objects, and lets users replace the removed background with a solid color, transparent layer, or a custom image. The tool also includes basic editing features like cropping, flipping, brightness adjustment, shadows, and blur.

It is available as a free online tool (with a maximum resolution and file size limit for high-resolution downloads gated behind credits), a downloadable desktop application for Windows and Mac, and an iOS mobile app. PhotoScissors is developed by Teorex, the same company behind Inpaint, iResizer, PhotoStitcher, and DupHunter, and is commonly used for e-commerce product photos, portraits, and general photo editing.
