A Clipping Magic alternative built for people who sell online
Background removal as clean as the tools you know, plus everything else a seller needs — bulk clean-up, scenes, product videos, listing text and a marketplace photo check. One account, one price.
The short answer
Clipping Magic is excellent at one thing: cutting a product off its background, with hand tools to fix the edges. We respect it — it’s the quality bar we tune PicMerchant’s cutouts against. If all you ever need is a handful of cutouts a month, its $3.99 plan is cheaper than ours.
PicMerchant is for sellers who do more than cutouts. For $19.99 a month you get unlimited background removal for one shop (up to 2,000 a month) — the same money that buys 500 images on Clipping Magic Pro — plus bulk logo and watermark removal, brightening, AI scenes, product videos, listing text and a marketplace photo check.

- Clean up a whole folder at once — backgrounds, logos, watermarks and dark photos in one pass.
- Keep your photos in one place with folders, and connect them to your computer as a drive.
- Your employees can work in the same account on the Business plan.
Everything else that comes with it
Clipping Magic is mainly about the photo. PicMerchant is built for the whole job of selling online, so the same account does all of this:
Works on your Mac
Nothing to download or install. It runs in Safari or Chrome on any Mac, and the same account works on a PC, iPhone or iPad.
Fix a cutout by hand
Tap to keep or remove a spot, a scalpel for clean edges and a hair brush — the same kind of hand tools pros expect.
Whole batches at once
Drop in a folder of photos: backgrounds off, logos and watermarks off, dark photos brightened — in one pass.
AI edits
Refresh a tired photo, combine two photos, or put your real product in a new scene.
Product videos
Turn your photos into a short video with captions and a voice — for listings, TikTok, Facebook and YouTube.
Listing kits
Titles, keywords and a description written from your product, ready to paste.
Marketplace photo check
One click tells you if a photo meets Amazon, Walmart, eBay, Etsy, Shopify, Google and Facebook rules, and downloads every size.
Photo Storage and a drive
Folders like your hard drive. Connect it to a Mac or PC and drag photos in and out like any drive.
Made for teams
Invite employees so everyone works from the same photos (Business plan).
Try it on your own photos

Is PicMerchant’s background removal as good as Clipping Magic?
Clipping Magic is the benchmark we test against. Try both on your own photos — PicMerchant’s free trial includes 10 background removals, and any cutout can be finished by hand.
Does PicMerchant do bulk background removal like Clipping Magic’s Bulk Clipping?
Yes. Drop in a batch and every photo is cut out, and you can also take logos off and brighten dark photos in the same run.
Can I bring photos I already cut out somewhere else?
Yes. Already-cut PNGs keep their cut exactly as they are, and cleaning them up (logos, brightness) doesn’t cut them again.
Does it work on a Mac?
Yes. PicMerchant runs in Safari or Chrome on a Mac with nothing to install, and Photo Storage can show up in Finder like a drive. See PicMerchant on a Mac.
Do I need to install anything?
No. PicMerchant runs in your browser on a Mac, PC, iPhone or iPad.
Is PicMerchant connected to Clipping Magic?
No. PicMerchant is a separate company and is not affiliated with Clipping Magic.
