Cropcut turns any photo into a sticker and lets you build something new with it. No ads, no subscriptions, no account. Everything happens on your phone. CUT OUT ANYTHING • Tap Remove Background for an instant, automatic cutout. • Or trace around your subject with your finger. Cropcut snaps to the edges, so you get the exact cut you wanted, even when auto-detection gets it wrong. • Crop, undo, and fine-tune until it's just right. MAKE IT A STICKER Every cutout is saved to your reusable sticker tray and to your Photos as a transparent image. Your dog, your friend's face, that one perfect reaction shot, cut it once, use it forever. COMPOSE & CREATE • Drop your stickers onto any photo. • Drag to move, pinch to resize, twist to rotate. • Add text, and draw on top with freehand markup. • Save your creation to Photos or share it anywhere. Messages, WhatsApp, Instagram, wherever you like. MADE FOR CREATORS Memes, custom emoji, profile pictures, scrapbook pages, journal stickers, birthday cards, playful collages. Cropcut keeps it fast and fun. WHAT MAKES CROPCUT DIFFERENT • Trace it yourself. Automatic cutouts are great until they aren't. When the background remover leaves a stray edge or grabs the wrong thing, just draw around what you want and Cropcut snaps to it. • Cutouts you can actually reuse. Your stickers live in a tray inside the app and as real PNG files in Photos, so they work everywhere, not just in one keyboard. • Cut and compose in one place. No bouncing between a cutout app and a collage app. • Nothing to unlock. There is no Pro tier, no watermark, no daily limit, no trial that quietly turns into a subscription. Every feature is available to everyone from the first tap. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account required. • No sign-in, no tracking, no data collection. • Your photos never leave your device. Download Cropcut and start cutting. Cropcut is an independent app and is not affiliated with Apple, WhatsApp, Meta, or any other company mentioned.
