30 free credits each month. Fast costs 1 credit per image; Fine costs 2. One balance for the website and API, with full-resolution downloads and no watermark.
A fresh allowance every month
A one-time trial is useful for a first look. But product photos, portraits and side projects do not all arrive on the day you sign up. Clearcut now gives every verified account 30 free credits each calendar month, replacing the one-time 10-credit signup offer.

Use them on the website, in bulk or through the API
These are regular credits, with access to both Fast and Fine processing, the normal processing queue, full-resolution downloads within our image limits, and no watermark. You can use all 30 for Fast images, process 15 images with Fine, or mix the two: 20 Fast images and 5 Fine images also use 30 credits.
The website, bulk editor and API share the same account balance. There is no separate API allowance to activate. Create an API key in your account and follow the quickstart to try it in your own project. Other editing actions have their own credit costs; see the pricing page for the full breakdown.
When the credits renew
The allowance resets to 30 on the first day of each month at 00:00 UTC. Unused monthly free credits expire at that point and do not roll over. Join near the end of a month and you still get 30 credits, followed by a fresh allowance on the first.
We spend monthly free credits before your other credits. Your purchased balance and any remaining credits from the earlier signup offer stay in your account. The account page shows your remaining free allowance and next renewal date.
A $3 top-up when you only need a few more
There is now a smaller one-time purchase: 30 credits for $3 USD, before any applicable tax. These purchased credits never expire, and buying a pack does not start a subscription.
For larger jobs, the $5 pack still gives you 100 credits. Monthly subscriptions start at $9 for 500 credits. You can compare all options on the pricing page and choose based on how many images you actually need.
What happens when your balance runs out?
You can buy more credits or wait for the next monthly allowance. The existing website fallback also remains: up to five free Fast removals per day at zero balance, up to 12 megapixels, subject to network and capacity limits. That daily option uses the shared free queue and does not apply to API requests.
Whether you need one clean product photo or want to test a small integration, sign in to get started. Your monthly allowance is ready for your next image.
Start with your next image.
Create an account and verify your email to get 30 free credits every month: enough for 30 Fast images or 15 Fine images. Use them on the website or through the API.
