Pipelines

Puts your image on a new canvas at the exact size you want — perfect for hitting size requirements on print-on-demand sites and Etsy.

Reposition: put your image on a custom-sized canvas

Removes up to 3 background colors and leaves a transparent background. Works best on logos, scanned art, AI-generated subjects with solid backgrounds.

Color Removal V2: erase backgrounds with one click per color

Changes the actual pixel size of every image in your batch — smaller (most common) or scale by percentage. Sharp output via Lanczos resampling.

Resize: change the size of your images

Automatically crops away transparent (see-through) edges around your design, leaving a tight bounding box. Most useful right after Color Removal.

Trim: cut off the empty edges around your image

Erases a chosen corner of every image in your batch — and optionally fills it back in to look natural. Built for hiding watermarks like the Gemini AI badge.

Corner Erase: remove watermarks from an image corner

Rotate every image in your batch by a set angle, or flip them horizontally or vertically. Quick and predictable — no fuss.

Rotate / Flip: turn or mirror your images

Finds and removes tiny stray pixels left behind after background removal. A vacuum for the leftover bits Color Removal misses.

Speckle Remover: clean up tiny stray pixels

Finds partially see-through pixels (faint halos, edge shadows) and either highlights or removes them. Fixes soft halos that look bad in print.

Transparency Cleaner: remove faint semi-transparent pixels

Uses a mask image to cut your design into a custom shape — circles, hexagons, anything. Like cookie-cutting your batch with one shape.

Clipping Mask: trim your design into a custom shape

Uses a texture image to selectively erase parts of your design for a worn / vintage / grunge look. Built-in masks plus upload-your-own.

Distress: add vintage grunge texture by knocking out parts of your design

Nine ready-to-use visual effects you can apply across a whole batch — Blur, Pixelate, Vignette, Sharpen, Emboss, Edge Detect, Noise, Sepia, and Posterize.

Filters: blur, sharpen, vignette, and other quick visual effects

Adjusts the look of every image in your batch — brightness, contrast, color channels, saturation, vibrance, and hue. Eight sliders, one consistent result.

Image Adjustment: tweak brightness, contrast, and color across a batch

Adds a decorative border or frame around your design using a frame image you pick. Works for ornate borders, simple lines, or any custom frame shape you upload.

Frames: add a decorative border around your design

Adds your logo or any image as an overlay on every image in your batch. Set position, scale, opacity, rotation — applied consistently.

Watermark (Image): add a logo or graphic overlay to every image

Adds the same text watermark to every image in your batch — shop name, copyright, brand mark. Pick text, font, color, opacity, position.

Watermark (Text): add custom text across every image in a batch

AI background removal for tricky images that the free Color Removal tool can't handle. Pick Recraft or Pixian. 15 credits per image. Sign-in required.

AI Background Removal: when Color Removal V2 isn't enough

AI upscaling for small or low-res images. Pick 2x, 4x, or 8x. 10 credits per image. Sign-in required. Free Resize just stretches pixels — this adds real detail.

AI Upscale: make small images bigger without going blurry

Fill the space behind your image with a solid color, with optional padding.

Canvas Fill: put your design on a solid-color background

Add a see-through or colored margin around your image, per-side or all at once.

Padding: add space around your image

Add one or more stackable colored outlines around your design, sticker-style.

Strokes: add outlines around your design

Background Removal Tips

How to choose a background color in your AI prompt that won't conflict with your subject. Principle, not recipe — the right color depends on the subject.

Picking the right background color for your subject

Three rules that make Color Removal work on autopilot: single-color background, that color isn't in the subject, high contrast between subject and background.

Recovering when the image is wrong
