A PhotoScissors 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
PhotoScissors is a simple background remover with a desktop app for Windows and Mac. If you want unlimited offline cutouts and nothing else, its one-year desktop license is good value.
PicMerchant runs in your browser on a Mac, PC or phone with nothing to install, keeps your photos in shared Photo Storage, and goes past the cutout: hand tools, bulk logo and watermark removal, marketplace photo checks, listing text and product videos.

Everything else that comes with it
PhotoScissors 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
Sign up free — no card. Upload a few of the photos you’d normally put through PhotoScissors and compare the results yourself.

Does PicMerchant work offline like the PhotoScissors desktop app?
No. PicMerchant runs in your browser and does the heavy work on our servers, so it needs an internet connection — and works the same on any computer or phone.
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 PhotoScissors?
No. PicMerchant is a separate company and is not affiliated with PhotoScissors.
