Cleanup.pictures vs SnapEdit

Cleanup.pictures

Still the fastest free object eraser on the open web when you need one photo cleaned and refuse to make an account. It has been frozen for years though, so anything at print resolution or in volume belongs in its own successor ClipDrop or in Photoshop's generative fill.

Pros

• +no signup or upload queue, usable within seconds of landing on the page
• +$3-5 a month is the cheapest unlimited-resolution inpainting subscription around
• +the inpainting model is documented as an API with samples for Node.js, SwiftUI and Kotlin

Cons

• −the site has not visibly changed since 2022 and still carries the pre-acquisition owner's copyright notice
• −one seat per subscription, with no team or shared billing option
• −output quality now trails newer generative-fill models on anything large
• −free exports are hard-capped at 720px, which is unusable for print

SnapEdit

Cheap, fast and available everywhere — $6 a month is well under what the big editors charge for the same object-removal job, and batch mode up to 50 images makes it practical for listings work. In exchange you get an anonymous vendor and free-tier terms that do not match between pages.

Pros

• +Object, background and text removal plus upscaling in one $6 plan
• +Batch processing of up to 50 photos
• +Same account works on web, iOS and Android
• +Free tier is usable for occasional single edits
• +8x upscale and 5600px export on the entry paid plan

Cons

• −No legal entity, address or country disclosed anywhere on the site
• −Free credit allowance is stated differently on the homepage and the pricing page
• −Credits are granted annually on paid plans, so heavy months can run dry
• −No API for automation
