Custom photo region cutting — not preset shape templates

Custom Cutter reads your photo locally and applies a rectangular selection on a client-side canvas — not a cloud cutter that ingests your file first. Draw and resize the region, choose keep or remove, then download or copy transparent PNG output. It does not include circle, star, polygon, lasso, or AI auto-cutout tools — use Background Remover for full-image background removal.

Why use a custom shape photo cutter?

Template croppers force fixed shapes before you frame the subject. Pix-8 lets you define the region — the practical fit when you need a custom shape photo cutter that isolates photo areas with transparent export and no upload.

Photo-ready cutouts

Isolate a product, portrait, or graphic element from a photo and export with a transparent background for compositing.

Custom rectangular regions

Draw and resize a selection at any position on the photo — no aspect-ratio lock, no preset shape library.

Client-side processing

Photos are read locally and cut on a canvas in your browser tab. Pix-8 does not receive your image data.

    Choose keep selection or remove selection, then download or copy the transparent PNG — processed entirely on your device.

Frequently asked questions

What is a custom shape photo cutter?

A custom shape photo cutter lets you draw a rectangular selection on a photo and export either the region inside (keep) or outside (remove) — with transparent PNG output for cutouts. Pix-8 Custom Cutter runs entirely in your browser on a client-side canvas. Your file is read locally and is never uploaded to Pix-8 or any third-party server. It does not include circle, polygon, lasso, or pen-path shape tools.

How is this different from Pix-8 Cropper for photos?

Cropper reframes your full photo to a rectangular crop with aspect-ratio and social media presets. Custom Cutter isolates a region with keep-or-remove export — useful for product shots, portraits, or compositing elements with transparent backgrounds. It does not include aspect-ratio presets, social media ratios, or batch cutting.

Is this custom shape photo cutter free and private?

Yes. The tool is free with no account required. All cutting runs client-side in your browser — your photos stay on your device throughout, with optional EXIF stripping before export.
