Custom shape cutting without an upload step

Custom Cutter reads your image locally and applies a rectangular selection on a client-side canvas — not a cloud tool that ingests your file first. Draw and resize the region, choose keep or remove, export transparent PNG output, then download or copy. It does not include circle, star, polygon, lasso, AI auto-cutout, cloud storage, or account-based file retention.

Why use a no-upload custom shape cutter?

Most online cutters start with an upload. Pix-8 skips that step — the direct workflow when you need a no-upload custom shape cutter that defines cutout regions entirely on your device.

Zero upload workflow

Load an image from your machine — no drag-to-cloud, no server queue, and no transfer to Pix-8.

Custom rectangular regions

Draw and resize a selection at any position — keep or remove the area with transparent PNG export.

Client-side canvas cut

The cut is applied on a canvas in your browser tab. Your pixels are not sent elsewhere for processing.

Frequently asked questions

Does this custom shape cutter require an upload?

No. Pix-8 Custom Cutter runs entirely in your browser. Your image is read locally through the File API and cut on a client-side canvas — it is never uploaded to Pix-8 or any third-party server. Draw a rectangular selection, choose keep or remove, and export transparent PNG output. There is no cloud queue, no account, and no server-side processing step.

How is a no-upload custom shape cutter different from cloud image cutters?

Cloud cutters require sending your file to a remote server before any cut runs. Pix-8 processes on-device — drag and resize the selection, choose keep or remove, then download or copy transparent PNG output. It does not include drag-to-cloud workflows, server APIs, batch cutting, circle or polygon shape tools, or stored file history.

How is this different from Pix-8 Cropper no-upload cropping?

Cropper reframes your image to a rectangular crop with aspect-ratio and social media presets without uploading. Custom Cutter focuses on keep-or-remove region cutouts with transparent PNG export — draw a selection, isolate or remove the area, and export. Use Cropper for ratio-locked reframing; use Custom Cutter for shape cutout workflows without an upload step.
