Powered by GPT Image 2.5, it achieved perfect scores across text rendering ("REALTEST 2026"), color/quantity binding (3 apples, 2 blue mugs), and 5-finger robot hand anatomy (65/65). New accounts receive 10 trial credits, and 5 credits were used to generate and export a native 1024x1024 unwatermarked PNG. With transparent credit deduction and an ~15s generation latency, it represents a highly reliable tool for icon and graphic design. Tested export 1024 × 1024 · PNG Historical test · 2026-10-28 | Cutout.Pro (AI Art Generator) Image generation 87/100 Seven-aspect task score Clear models and credit costs accompany good text, counts and hands without watermarks; login is required, starter credits cover one image, and stated retention is 30 days.
