Capabilities

More than cutout — a complete on-device image workbench

From hair-level masks to multi-layer compositing, model fine-tuning and AI lighting — everything runs locally.

Hair-level AI Matting

On-device Core ML segmentation plus Metal GPU mask refinement. Live edge contraction & feathering, non-destructive erase/restore brushes with full undo.

Swappable AI Models

Switch between portrait, general and edge-refined matting models and re-matte any object in place. Smart device tiering with automatic timeout fallback.

PRO

Layer Management

A unified layer model of text and cutout objects — reorder, select and delete like a design tool. What you preview is exactly what you export, at any layer order.

Iterative Multi-cutout Editing

Keep cutting out on one canvas: add multiple subjects, each independently draggable, pinch-scalable, rotatable and flippable. Atomic undo never loses a step.

AI Shadow & Reflection

Real-time Metal-rendered contact shadows, blur and gradient-faded floor reflections ground every subject naturally — product shots that look studio-lit.

Batch Processing

Mat an entire album in one go with tiered scheduling and per-item retry. Export transparent PNG or high-res JPG; layered PSD and original resolution up to 8192px are on Pro.

Product Showcase

Drop in a product photo, auto-cutout, recolor the background and export at platform-ready sizes. Pinch-zoom, drag to place, double-tap to reset — main images go straight to your library.

Crop & Canvas Size

Free-form crop with grid guides and one-tap smart crop that auto-fits the transparent subject. Canvas supports custom sizes plus original / 1:1 / 9:16 / 16:9 and presets like e-commerce hero, poster and Douyin backgrounds.

Text & Mixed Image-Text Editing

Add text with live color, opacity, size and font controls. Text lives as its own layer that can sit above or below any cutout object — true what-you-see-is-what-you-export layouts.

Privacy First

Your photos have never seen our servers — because there are none

100% on-device inference

The AI models run directly on your iPhone. There is no upload path for images anywhere in the app.

No accounts · No cloud · No tracking

No sign-up required, no analytics SDKs, and no data beyond the photo library you explicitly grant.

Works offline

On a plane, in a secure office, with no connection — every feature works exactly the same.

Privacy isn't a paid feature — it's the architecture. Free users and subscribers enjoy the exact same data isolation.

FAQ

Questions, answered

How is this different from other AI cutout tools?

Most tools ship your photo to a cloud server. Cutano bundles the entire AI model inside the app — inference happens on your device and image data never leaves your phone. Running on-device doesn't mean cutting corners — fine hair and edges hold up, and the privacy is structural.

Is it free?

The app is free to download and basic cutout works immediately. Advanced models, layer compositing and AI shadows unlock via subscription, billed entirely through Apple's native StoreKit 2.

Which devices are supported?

iPhone running iOS 17 or later. The app automatically tiers work by device capability, so older iPhones stay smooth.

Why would I switch models?

Different models excel at different subjects — hair, hard product edges, complex backgrounds. Re-matte the same object with another model and keep the best result.

Is there a watermark?

Standard cutout exports carry no watermark on either tier — there the difference is resolution and formats (the free tier exports at a reduced resolution; Pro unlocks original resolution up to 8192px and layered PSD). A few AI-generated or composed features, like product showcase images, do show a watermark until you're on Pro.

What resolution can I export at?

Pro exports at your photo's original resolution, up to 8192px; the free tier exports at a reduced resolution. Formats: transparent PNG or JPG on every tier, layered PSD on Pro. A smaller source is never upscaled — it exports at its own size.
