Hey Product Hunt!
I built Cutout because I was tired of paying $40/month for Remove.bg, and I didn't love that they upload every photo I process to their servers. For personal photos and sensitive images, that wasn't acceptable.
Cutout runs the AI model entirely in your browser using WebAssembly. There is no backend. Your photos literally never leave your device.
It handles transparent PNG exports, batch processing (great for e-commerce sellers), and has a manual refine brush for tricky edges.
Would love your feedback! Happy to answer any questions about the WASM model or the architecture.
Also check out ShrinkRay (my file compressor) and ConvertIt — same privacy-first model!
