Photo Cutter

Turn screenshots and images into clean, transparent PNG cut-outs.

Download Photo Cutter for Windows

Photo Cutter is a privacy-friendly, portable Windows app. It runs as one file, needs no account, and keeps image processing on your computer.

Make your first cut-out

1. Select Open image and choose a PNG, JPG, BMP, GIF, or WEBP file.
2. Use Draw Around, Click Around, or Shape Cut to outline what you want to keep.
3. Select Save Cut-out, give it a useful name, then export it as a transparent PNG.

The labels are deliberately plain English. Draw Around is the freehand tool, while Click Around builds an outline point by point.

What you can do

• Cut with freehand drawing, connected points, or ready-made shapes.
• Zoom without changing the source image or exported resolution.
• Use a 5x–10x magnifier and choose the cutting-line colour for close edge work.
• Switch between smooth enlarged viewing and exact-pixel viewing.
• Save an exact-size reusable shape, rename it, place copies, move them, and commit each copy as a new cut-out.
• Rename and reorder committed cut-outs before exporting.
• Refine edges, compare previews, and review results in the Cut-out Gallery.
• Save a workspace and continue later without losing your cut-outs or saved shapes.
• Use the complete interface in dark or light appearance.

Download and requirements

• Windows 10 or Windows 11, 64-bit.
• One portable PhotoCutter.exe; no separate .NET installation is required.
• Input: PNG, JPG/JPEG, BMP, GIF, and WEBP.
• Output: transparent PNG files at the intended source-image geometry.

Download the latest release, place PhotoCutter.exe wherever you prefer, and open it. The app is currently unsigned, so Windows SmartScreen may ask you to confirm the first launch.

Privacy

Photo Cutter does not upload your images and does not require an account. Cutting, previews, workspaces, and exports are handled locally on your PC.
