About

ClipDrop is a suite of AI-powered visual tools for creating and editing professional images without a photography studio or design expertise. Developed by Init ML and later acquired by Stability AI, ClipDrop packages the most in-demand AI image editing capabilities into an accessible web platform and mobile app.

The platform's flagship feature is its background removal technology — among the most accurate available, handling complex subjects like hair, glasses, and transparent objects with remarkable precision. Beyond background removal, ClipDrop offers AI-powered object removal, image upscaling, relighting, portrait retouching, and Stable Diffusion image generation. The suite also includes text-to-image generation powered by Stability AI's own models.

ClipDrop is widely used by e-commerce businesses creating product photography, marketing teams producing visual content at scale, and photographers enhancing their workflow. The API enables programmatic access to all tools, making ClipDrop a practical choice for building image processing pipelines into applications.

About the Publisher

ClipDrop was created by Init ML, a French startup founded by Cyril Diagne and Jonathan Blanchet, which was acquired by Stability AI in 2023. Stability AI, the company behind Stable Diffusion, integrated ClipDrop as its consumer-facing AI image toolkit. The acquisition brought together ClipDrop's editing expertise with Stability AI's generative model capabilities, creating one of the most comprehensive AI visual creation suites available.
