What Clipdrop does
Clipdrop is a set of web-based AI image tools originally built by Paris startup InitML, acquired by Stability in 2023 and by Jasper in 2024. It covers the everyday photo fixes in one place: removing or replacing backgrounds, cleaning up unwanted objects or text, upscaling, relighting, uncropping and generating images from text. Most tools work free with daily caps, and a Pro plan raises those caps and output resolution. Developers can call the same models through a usage-priced API.
Best for
- Quick background removal and object cleanup in the browser
- Small sellers and creators preparing product or social images
- Upscaling and relighting photos without a desktop editor
