Fill the space behind your image with a solid color, with optional padding.
Clipping Mask: trim your design into a custom shape
Uses a mask image to cut your design into a custom shape — circles, hexagons, anything. Like cookie-cutting your batch with one shape.
Color Removal V2: erase backgrounds with one click per color
Removes up to 3 background colors and leaves a transparent background. Works best on logos, scanned art, AI-generated subjects with solid backgrounds.
Corner Erase: remove watermarks from an image corner
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.
Distress: add vintage grunge texture by knocking out parts of your design
Uses a texture image to selectively erase parts of your design for a worn / vintage / grunge look. Built-in masks plus upload-your-own.
Filters: blur, sharpen, vignette, and other quick visual effects
Nine ready-to-use visual effects you can apply across a whole batch — Blur, Pixelate, Vignette, Sharpen, Emboss, Edge Detect, Noise, Sepia, and Posterize.
Frames: add a decorative border around your design
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.
Image Adjustment: tweak brightness, contrast, and color across a batch
Adjusts the look of every image in your batch — brightness, contrast, color channels, saturation, vibrance, and hue. Eight sliders, one consistent result.
Padding: add space around your image
Add a see-through or colored margin around your image, per-side or all at once.
Reposition: put your image on a custom-sized canvas
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.
Resize: change the size of your images
Changes the actual pixel size of every image in your batch — smaller (most common) or scale by percentage. Sharp output via Lanczos resampling.
Rotate / Flip: turn or mirror your images
Rotate every image in your batch by a set angle, or flip them horizontally or vertically. Quick and predictable — no fuss.
Speckle Remover: clean up tiny stray pixels
Finds and removes tiny stray pixels left behind after background removal. A vacuum for the leftover bits Color Removal misses.
Strokes: add outlines around your design
Add one or more stackable colored outlines around your design, sticker-style.
Transparency Cleaner: remove faint semi-transparent pixels
Finds partially see-through pixels (faint halos, edge shadows) and either highlights or removes them. Fixes soft halos that look bad in print.
Trim: cut off the empty edges around your image
Automatically crops away transparent (see-through) edges around your design, leaving a tight bounding box. Most useful right after Color Removal.
Watermark (Image): add a logo or graphic overlay to every image
Adds your logo or any image as an overlay on every image in your batch. Set position, scale, opacity, rotation — applied consistently.
Watermark (Text): add custom text across every image in a batch
Adds the same text watermark to every image in your batch — shop name, copyright, brand mark. Pick text, font, color, opacity, position.
