Cutout.pro is an AI-powered platform designed to democratize professional-grade photo and video editing. It leverages deep learning and computer vision to automate tedious tasks like masking, retouching, and upscaling. The platform is accessible via web browsers, desktop applications, mobile apps, and a robust API, making it a favorite for both individual creators and large-scale e-commerce enterprises.
The Launch: Cutout.pro was founded in 2018 under the parent company Libit AI. The founders aimed to solve the "masking problem"—the hours spent by designers manually cutting out subjects from backgrounds.
Market Expansion: The company saw explosive growth between 2021 and 2024 as the global e-commerce market surged. By providing "one-click" solutions for product photography, the platform quickly scaled its user base across North America, Europe, and Asia.
Venture Support: Cutout.pro is primarily backed by private equity and venture capital firms focusing on SaaS and AI infrastructure.
Financial Health: While specific valuation figures are often kept private by Libit AI, industry analysts in 2026 estimate the company’s valuation in the $100M – $200M range.
The platform is divided into several specialized "engines":
AI Removal Tools: One-click background removal for photos and videos, as well as an "Object Remover" (Inpainting) to delete unwanted elements from images.
AI Restoration: Includes the "Image Enhancer" and "Sharpener," which use super-resolution technology to fix blurry or low-quality photos.
E-commerce Solutions: Tools specifically designed to generate professional product listings, including auto-shadows and standardized white backgrounds.
ID Photo Maker: A specialized utility that automatically crops photos to official passport or visa specifications for various countries.
Strategic Integrations: Rather than aggressive company acquisitions, Cutout.pro has focused on Plugin Expansion. It has built deep integrations for Shopify, WooCommerce, and Adobe Photoshop, effectively "acquiring" space within the professional designer's existing workflow.
Video Background Diffusion: A high-end feature that doesn't just remove a video background but uses generative AI to "outpaint" and create entirely new, realistic environments behind a moving subject.
AI Headshot Generator: A professional tool that turns casual smartphone photos into corporate-grade LinkedIn headshots with realistic lighting and attire.
Batch Video Upscaling: New server-side processing capabilities that allow users to upscale entire video libraries from 720p to 4K using AI interpolation.
Efficiency First: The core philosophy is "Time is the ultimate currency." Every feature is designed to reduce a 30-minute manual task to a 3-second automated one.
Accessibility: The team prioritizes a UI/UX that requires zero learning curve, ensuring that a small business owner has the same editing power as a professional retoucher.
E-commerce Entrepreneurs: Its largest segment, using the tool to maintain consistent product aesthetics across platforms like Amazon and eBay.
Photography Professionals: High-volume event and school photographers who use the batch processing features for rapid turnaround.
The Global Consumer: Millions of users who utilize the free web tools for social media content, passport photos, and fun artistic filters.
