ClipDrop's AI features knock all other AI image-editing tools out of the park. Everything is in one place and the results are impressive. Let's unpack this robust tool and see what you can do with it.
What Is ClipDrop?
ClipDrop is an AI image tool built by Jasper AI. While Jasper is a great AI copywriting tool, ClipDrop features over a dozen AI image tools for stunning visuals. The tools can be used by photographers, business owners, digital marketers, content creators, website designers, hobbyist artists, designers, and other creatives.
You can easily access ClipDrop via your browser, you can also use it as an API, and even as plugins for Photoshop and Zapier (Beta).
Is ClipDrop AI Free?
ClipDrop is a freemium AI tool. It has a handful of free AI image editing features and more AI tools under the paid subscriptions.
The free subscription produces lower-quality results, which sometimes include watermarks or smaller image sizes. There are also lower output limits for free users, such as only 20 generations within 24 hours.
ClipDrop Pro starts from $11 per month for an annual plan, or $15 for one month. Benefits of Pro include queue skipping, high-resolution results, no watermarks, an increase to 1000 or 3000 outputs per 24 hours, as well as access all Pro tools.
What Can You Do With ClipDrop?
ClipDrop has so many AI image editing tools, so let's put them to the test and show you what they are and what ClipDrop can do for your images.
1. Generative Fill (Free)
Generative Fill lets you replace, remove, and fix areas of an image without cloning, pasting, or digitally altering the image yourself. It is one of the most helpful AI photography editing tools you can find.
ClipDrop's free Generative Fill tool is simple. It only produces one variation at a time, unlike Photoshop's Generative Fill tool which produces three variations. The results look good, and you can regenerate a new result many times before applying it to your final image and downloading it.
2. Uncrop (Paid)
The Uncrop tool works similarly to Generative Fill. It allows you to extend the borders of your image using AI and the content of your image. Uncropping lets you fix the layout and composition of your image by adding more space around your subject.
3. Swap (Free)
Swap lets you add someone else's face to a portrait. Once generated, it presents multiple variations for you to scroll through to choose the best result.
The result is more AI-heavy than I'd expected. My face swap variations didn't have matching skin tones, although the necks were lined up evenly. The results also added extra props not present in either original photo, such as funky sunglasses, a tiara, and braces.
The created face looks different from the supplied image. Overall, the tool is cool, but I don't think it has much real-world use outside of it being fun to play around with. There are better AI photo editing tools that allow you to edit images without that AI-tell.
4. Reimagine (Free)
Reimagine lets you upload an image and reimagine and recreate the scene with AI. ClipDrop may recreate based on the style of the original image rather than placement or other aspects like color.
ClipDrop provides three similar, but different variations of your scene. This AI feature works better for landscapes or images without people in them, since it also reimagines people's faces.
5. Background Removal (Free)
ClipDrop's background removal tool is quick and effective. Even an image with a blurred line between the subject and the background successfully removes all the background with no residue.
Free users are limited to smaller file sizes for this tool, but you can download your transparent background image as a transparent PNG -- something many tools don't offer for free.
6. Replace Background (Paid)
While you can remove the background for free, you cannot replace it for free in ClipDrop. Paid users can replace backgrounds in images, whether you want a plain, neutral color, or you want to change your mountain scene to a beach scene.
7. Sky Replacer (Free)
Sky Replacer provides nine sky presets to choose from when you upload your image. ClipDrop identifies where the skyline is in the image, quickly cuts the old sky out, and replaces it with your chosen preset.
The tool works well, but it doesn't color grade the rest of the image to suit the new sky's lighting. You should choose the sky preset with that in mind, so it doesn't look out of place. Overall, the tool is impressive if you can match the lighting and color in your image.
8. Image Upscaler (Pro)
Sometimes your images -- especially AI-generated images -- aren't a big enough size for your use. Image Upscaler lets you increase the size up to 16x for a pixel-perfect, high-quality image.
This is a Pro feature, but one that's worth paying for if you're working with big images. You have the option between Smooth and Detailed, and upscale options of 2x, 4x, 8x, or 16x.
9. Universal Resizer (Pro)
Universal Resizer is used best when you post the same image across multiple social media platforms, each using different dimensions and orientations.
You can only choose from existing social media sizes -- all the main social media dimensions are available, such as TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, X/Twitter, LinkedIn, and Pinterest -- and can't create custom sizes at the time of writing.
Simply upload your image and choose the output size. The Universal Resizer is a total time-saver and has many helpful uses.
10. Cleanup (Free)
Cleanup acts similarly to Generative Fill if used for removing objects in images. Instead of a selection to draw, Cleanup has a brush for you to paint over areas to fix.
It's a simple tool, but does the job very well. You can precisely brush to select areas, such as flyaway hairs, and select Clean to remove them. Changing the brush size allows for more detail captured, too.
11. Relight (Free)
ClipDrop's Relight tool can be a photographer's best friend. You can easily recreate studio lights of varying placement, color, power, radius, and number of lights. Not only can you customize all the colors yourself, but ClipDrop also provides over 16 colored presets -- which are editable -- if you need a stepping stone into the Relight world.
This tool is cool, effective, and realistic. If you didn't want to learn how to get the lighting right in your photos, the Relight tool is more than enough reason for anyone to start using ClipDrop for their photo editing.
12. Text Remover (Free)
You don't have to identify the text yourself, the tool does it for you. The text is removed and left with no residue in your image. If you have an AI-generated image with gibberish AI text, you can use ClipDrop's Text Remover to clean the text from the image.
ClipDrop doesn't have a native text tool, so you'll have to download your image and open it in another software if you want to add new text to the image. The text remover works very well, though, and it's much quicker than manually removing text.
13. Sketch to Image (Paid)
Similar to text to image AI generators, this tool allows you to upload a sketch or drawing instead of a text prompt. You can then turn your hand-drawn creation into a cartoon, photorealistic image, or other styles of imagery in seconds.
Sketch to Image has many uses, but it can be especially useful for kids who want to draw their imagination, and you can help them bring it to life in the form of a fully rendered image. You could also use an app to help you draw using AR if you prefer.
ClipDrop also includes Stable Diffusion text to image for both free and paid users, and it's constantly adding new features. This AI tool offers so many options for image editing and creation. Since it's not a design tool, it may need to be used in tandem with other tools like Canva or Photoshop, but it is the best AI image editing tool out there right now.
