About Pixa (formerly Pixelcut)
What is Pixa, formerly Pixelcut (2026 update)
Pixa is an AI-powered creative platform for image editing and generation, covering background removal, image upscaling, product photography, and AI image and video creation. It sits in the image generation and editing category and was known as Pixelcut until a rebrand in 2026, with the platform now reporting more than 15 million monthly users and over 100 million images processed each month.
What is new in 2026
The headline 2026 change is the rebrand from Pixelcut to Pixa, announced on March 3, 2026, when the company moved its site from pixelcut.ai to pixa.com and repositioned the product as a full creative workspace rather than a single-purpose background removal tool. What started five years ago as a background remover has expanded into a platform where users generate and edit production-ready visuals through natural-language prompts, backed by a menu of third-party models including Flux Dev, Flux Pro 1.1, Flux Pro Ultra, FLUX.2, Imagen 3, and Ideogram, all accessible from one interface. In January 2026, Pixa also launched a Video Background Remover that isolates subjects and strips backgrounds from video clips automatically, without needing a green screen or studio setup, extending the tool’s original photo-editing strength into video. The company describes the platform as an intelligent creative engine where AI agents and industry-leading models work alongside its own proprietary editing tools, aiming to help brands and small businesses ship production-ready visuals without a dedicated design team.
Key features
- Text-to-image generation with access to multiple third-party models (Flux, Imagen 3, Ideogram) in one interface
- Unlimited background removal and image upscaling on paid plans
- Video Background Remover for isolating subjects in video without a green screen
- AI product photography tools for e-commerce imagery and background replacement
- Object removal and a broader AI image editing suite
- Batch export tools and shared team credits rather than per-seat billing
Pricing in 2026
| Plan | Price | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Free | Free | Limited background removal, limited upscale, watermark-free export |
| Pro | $8/month billed yearly ($10/month billed monthly) | 600 AI credits/month, all AI models, unlimited background removal and upscale, 3 team seats, 1,000 batch exports/month, commercial license |
| Business | $24/month billed yearly ($30/month billed monthly) | 3,600 AI credits/month, all AI models, unlimited background removal and upscale, 10 team seats, 2,000 batch exports/month, commercial license |
Annual billing saves 20 percent on both paid plans. Team seats share one pool of credits rather than each member paying separately, which keeps small-team pricing predictable.
Who should use it
Pixa fits e-commerce sellers, social media managers, and small creative teams who need fast product photography, background removal, and AI-generated visuals without hiring a designer for every image. The Pro plan’s 3 included seats and shared credits make it a reasonable choice for small teams working together on a shared image library. Larger content operations producing high volumes of AI images or video will likely need the Business tier for the higher credit allowance and additional seats. Agencies serving multiple e-commerce clients may also value the commercial license included on both paid plans, since it clears usage rights for client-facing product imagery.
Limitations and alternatives
The 600 monthly credits on Pro can run out quickly if you generate many AI images or videos rather than just using background removal and upscaling, which are unlimited but separate from the credit pool. The rebrand from Pixelcut to Pixa may also cause temporary confusion for users searching under the old name or looking for old bookmarks and integrations. Alternatives include Fotor and Pixlr for similar all-in-one AI photo editing, and Photoroom for a tool more narrowly focused on product photography and background removal for e-commerce sellers.
