A Pixelcut 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
Pixelcut is an AI photo editor with unlimited background removal on its Pro plan, and it’s cheaper than PicMerchant if background removal is all you need.
PicMerchant costs more because it does more of the selling work: hand tools to perfect a cutout, bulk logo and watermark removal, a marketplace photo check, listing text, product videos, Photo Storage that connects to your computer as a drive, and credits that never expire if you only sell now and then.

Everything else that comes with it
Pixelcut 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 Pixelcut and compare the results yourself.

Why pay more than Pixelcut?
If you only need background removal, you may not need to. PicMerchant is for sellers who also want listing text, marketplace photo checks, product videos and shared photo storage in the same place.
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 Pixelcut?
No. PicMerchant is a separate company and is not affiliated with Pixelcut.
