Clean cut-outs for AI-generated art

ClipBrook cuts out art that was generated on a solid background color. Your images stay on your computer. Nothing is uploaded.

You can also paste a copied image straight onto this page.

How it works

ClipBrook reads the background color from the outer border of each image. Along the edge of the subject most pixels are a mixture of that background and the subject itself, so ClipBrook works out how much of each is in the pixel: one that is half background comes out half transparent. Background color that has bounced onto the subject's rim is replaced with color taken from further inside the subject. The output is a PNG with a transparent background.

Cutting runs in worker threads on your own computer, at the image's own size, so a 4096 px render is cut at 4096 px. How long that takes depends on the size of the image and on the computer you are using. A file can be up to 8192 px on a side and 80 MB, and there is no limit on how many you drop at once. No account, no watermark; batch cutting has its own page.

What it does not do

It does not work on photographs. A photo has no key color to remove. The same goes for a render whose background is a scene, a texture or plain white: there is no single color to measure. For those images, use a background remover that runs a matting model.

If the key color also appears in the subject, ClipBrook removes it there too, because it cannot keep a color it is deleting. Every cut carries a quality check that names that case when it happens. The comparison page puts the two methods side by side on the same renders.

Generate on a key color

The cut is only as good as the background you rendered on. Ask the generator for one flat color and keep the subject away from the edges of the frame; shadows, gradients, vignettes and texture all have to go.

Use blue for plants and foliage. Use red for blue or purple subjects. Green is the wrong key for anything with leaves or plants. Their own green gets removed with the background. The guide has a prompt you can copy for Midjourney, Flux, Stable Diffusion, Gemini, DALL·E, Ideogram and Leonardo.
