Cleanup.pictures
Focused brush-based object and watermark removal web tool built by the Init ML / Clipdrop team
Product node overview & trust baseline
Operator provenance, privacy baseline and site-wide pricing belong directly to the product node and are inherited across linked task edgesCleanup.pictures, operated by Init ML / Clipdrop (Jasper AI Inc.; Paris, France / San Francisco, USA) under a "Free tier + subscription" model, scored 80/100 in our object removal benchmark. Overall finding: Login-free brush editing is simple with upfront size disclosure; signs were removed cleanly, but free output is only 720px and HD needs Pro.
Paris, France / San Francisco, USA · 2021–Present
Provenance baseline: 19/20 · Built by Paris-based Init ML (the founding team behind Clipdrop, later acquired by Stability AI and Jasper AI).
The official pricing section and FAQ explicitly state Free (USD 0, unlimited images capped at 720p) and Cleanup Pro (USD 5/month or USD 36/year, equivalent to USD 3/month, with unlimited resolution and images). The page also displays a "ClipDrop Pro · 11 starting from" cross-sell card without full billing-period details on this page (see clipdrop.co for standalone ClipDrop pricing), so ClipDrop Pro is marked unverified with partial coverage.
Pricing transparency baseline: 29/35 · Cancellation: Manage, pause, or cancel anytime in the "manage subscription" section. Refunds after activation are granted only in rare cases such as technical difficulties or platform incompatibilities (full within 14 days, prorated thereafter).

Peer product comparison across shared task edges
Matched by overlapping tested task edges; compare site-wide billing models alongside per-task benchmark scoresThe official pricing page and credit table state that guests get 5 free runs and registered Free accounts receive 10 one-time Nero Credits (Standard/Photo/Anime 2× costs 1 credit/image, 4× costs 2 credits/image, paid-only 8× costs 4 credits/image). Standard monthly is USD 21.95/month promotional (regular USD 24.99/month, 300 credits/month). The yearly promo banner displays only "7.66 USD per month" (3,000 credits/year) without printing the annual invoice total before login, so the annual total is marked unverified.
