Clipping Magic uses AI and a smart editor to remove image backgrounds automatically, offering tools for touchups and precision cutouts.
Features
- Auto-Clip AI Background Removal — Powered by AI trained on millions of real-world images (not artificial lab data), Clipping Magic delivers fully automatic background removal that continuously improves as it's exposed to more photos. Handles a wide range of foreground categories beyond cherry-picked examples.
- Smart Editor with Precision Tools — The only background removal editor that seamlessly combines automatic AI with manual tools including keep/remove markers, a dedicated hair separation tool, and a scalpel for precision cutouts. Gives complete creative control for touchups and ensures 100% image success rate.
- Dedicated Hair Clipping Tool — Automatically separates hair from clean and distinct backgrounds. Works with gradients and some noise as long as the colors involved are sufficiently different, solving one of the most challenging aspects of background removal.
- Bulk Processing & Batch Clipping — Auto-clip large catalogs of product photos with configurable default settings for effortless color correction and consistent cropping. Enables uniform, professional shots across entire image collections with sticky settings and copy-paste marks.
- Comprehensive Export Options — Export results in multiple formats including transparent PNG, alpha channel masks (grayscale), SVG clipping paths, and Adobe-compatible TIFF files with embedded clipping paths. Includes export optimizer for file format, DPI, color space, and JPEG quality control.
- Smart Edge Refinement Suite — Fully-configurable edge controls including Smart Smoothing, Local Feathering, Edge Guard, Halo Scrubber, and Corner Guard. Graphics Mode preserves pixel-level detail for logos and computer graphics, while the Scalpel Tool handles low-contrast precision cuts.
