Remove any background. Keep every hair.
CutOut Studio removes the background of your images right on your Mac: one at a time with brush touch-ups, or a whole folder in one click. No uploads, no accounts, no internet.
Hair, fur and fine edges, done right.
The default engine is BiRefNet, one of the most accurate open background-removal models, running on your Mac. For quick jobs, switch to the Fast engine powered by Apple Vision.
- High Quality: BiRefNet, for hair, fur and thin details
- Fast: Apple Vision subject detection
- Optional GPU and Neural Engine acceleration
Touch up any edge with a brush.
Open or drop an image and the background is gone. If the AI missed a spot, paint it away with Erase or bring it back with Restore, then export.
- Erase and Restore brush with adjustable size
- Undo (⌘Z) and reset to the automatic result
- Preview over grid, white or black, zoom up to 400%
- Compare with the original in one click
A whole folder, in one click.
Drop a folder and every image in it gets its background removed. Each cut-out is saved in the same folder with the same name, and the originals move into an Originals folder, safe and untouched.
- Live progress, with each thumbnail turning into its cut-out
- Images that are already transparent can be skipped
- Stop at any time and pick up where you left off
- Show in Finder when it’s done
No halo from the old background.
Along the edges, the old background’s color bleeds into the subject: the white fringe you see on dark backgrounds. CutOut Studio estimates that color and takes it back out, so the cut-out looks clean anywhere.
- Edge color decontamination, on by default
- Works with both engines
- Keeps the photo’s own color space (Display P3, sRGB)
