Pixelcut

Pixelcut does background removal, upscaling and text-behind-subject on a phone, which covers a thumbnail between filming and uploading. The free tier exports without a watermark, which is unusual and is most of the reason to try it. Anybody working on a desktop with a real editor open will outgrow it.

Free includes limited background removal and upscaling, and exports without a watermark. Pro is $10 a month, with a yearly plan saving 20 percent, and adds all the AI tools plus batch editing. An API is offered with its own documentation.

A creator making thumbnails or product shots on a phone between filming and uploading. Anybody already in Photoshop or Canva on a desktop is adding a tool rather than replacing one.
