Turn AI-created sticker sheets into assets for LINE stickers and emoji. Splitora brings image splitting, background removal, trimming, sizing, positioning and transparent PNG/ZIP export into one app. BATCH AUTO EDIT Split a sheet, remove backgrounds, trim, maximize and center the results in one workflow. It starts with on-device AI and may try alternate settings or color-based removal. Results depend on the image; inspect them before adding or exporting. FLEXIBLE SPLITTING Choose equal division, manual adjustment or automatic detection. Use sliders for row/column counts and move split lines to fit your artwork. EDIT AND REFINE Use AI or color-based background removal, deletion/restoration brushes and an eraser. Add outlines to enclosed regions and adjust their color and width. Crop, maximize and use nine-point alignment individually or in batches. Reorder images from the list. AI background removal requires iOS/iPadOS 17 or later. Images are processed on the device, not sent to an external AI service. EXPORT FOR STICKERS AND EMOJI Choose a main image, a tab image and up to 40 sticker images; for emoji, choose a tab image and up to 40 emoji images. Preflight checks help you review the export. Save to Photos, Files or share as PNG/ZIP. Output frames include stickers 370×320, main 240×240, sticker tab 96×74, emoji 180×180 and custom sizes. PROMPT BUILDER Prepare text for an image-generation service and save/load presets. This feature does not generate images itself. Available on iPhone, iPad and Apple-silicon Mac using the iPad app. Splitora is an independent editing tool. It does not submit or sell stickers on your behalf or guarantee approval by LINE.

ImageBuddy is a fast image-prep tool for Mac, iPhone and iPad. Bring an image in — drag it onto the Mac window, or pick from Photos or Files on iPhone and iPad — and it lands over a checkerboard preview, so any transparency you create is obvious at a glance. Camera RAW files (.CR3, .NEF, .ARW, .DNG and more) open too; edits save as a TIFF beside the untouched original. Work one image or a whole batch: they queue up, and saving one moves you straight to the next. On Mac, Edit ▸ Undo steps back through settings, exclusion marks, rotations and removed images. One app, three devices The same pipeline on Mac, iPhone and iPad — the same queue, the same stages, the same save formats — laid out for whichever one you're holding. Trim, straighten & crop Auto-detect the artwork's bounding box, and shave off the transparent or matching-color edge. Rotate and flip in 90° steps. Straighten levels any angle and corrects Vertical and Horizontal perspective: Auto levels by the image's straight vertical lines, or its horizon, and Draw lets you mark a line that should be vertical or horizontal (or one of each) and sets the angle and perspective to match. Drag any edge of a manual crop, with a loupe and arrow nudges for precision. Remove the background Simple mode figures out the real background color, whatever it is, and knocks it out to transparency — including matching-color pockets inside the artwork — while genuinely different interior details like eye whites and letter counters survive. Or switch to Photo mode, which lifts the subject off any background with an on-device cut-out. (Photo mode needs macOS 14.) If Simple mode keeps eating a detail you want, paint exclusion marks straight on the preview to protect it. Stylize Wrap the cut-out in an outline, give it a shadow, and round off the corners — three independent switches. The shadow is one click: Low, Medium, High, or Glow for a soft halo in any color (detailed controls live in Settings on Mac). The canvas grows to fit the shadow and crops tight to the result, so it looks the same with trim on or off. Backdrops Grow a transparent margin — uniform or per-side — then composite over a solid color, a two-stop gradient, or an image scaled to cover the frame. Or blur the backdrop for a portrait-style finish: behind the subject of an untouched photo, or behind a cut-out you've placed on a new picture. Titles, captions & watermarks Set a title above the image and a caption below, in bands of space added outside the artwork rather than printed over it — your choice of typeface, color and alignment. Stamp a text or image watermark over the finished result at any size, margin, and position. Resize & vectorize Resize Image and Adjust Canvas are independent steps: scale to an exact width × height with an aspect lock, reframe the canvas without scaling — pick an origin, an absolute or relative size, an optional fixed ratio like 16:10 — or do both. Trace the silhouette, or every flat color, into clean scalable paths with any background color discarded automatically, and export or copy an SVG. Split collages Drop a sheet of images and, when ImageBuddy spots the gaps between them, split it into separate files in one click. Save it your way Save over the original, or save as new in PNG, JPEG, TIFF or HEIC with a quality slider for the lossy ones — and a warning before a format that can't hold transparency flattens a cut-out. Presets Every stage you've dialled in — the cut-out, the outline, the backdrop, the type, the watermark — saves as a named preset you can drop onto any image. Native, fast, private Pure Swift. No account, no cloud, no telemetry. It only ever touches the files you hand it, and writes only where you tell it to. Localized into 10 languages English, Deutsch, Español, Français, Italiano, 日本語, 한국어, Português (Brasil), Русский, 简体中文.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Splitora at Free against ImageBuddy's $4.99. ImageBuddy's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly). On in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
