Clipdrop is a set of browser image tools that includes an AI upscaler, background removal, cleanup and relight. The upscaler enlarges images 2x for free and up to 16x on the Pro plan. What decides whether it suits you is whether you want quick upscales in the browser next to other everyday image fixes, with daily allowances rather than monthly credits.
What is Clipdrop?
Clipdrop is made by Init ML, a French company that Stability AI bought and later sold to Jasper. Support now runs through a Jasper email address, and Clipdrop's APIs are part of the Jasper API.
Clipdrop runs in the browser. Its tools include the image upscaler, background removal, cleanup, relight, a text remover, a universal resizer and text to image, each with its own daily allowance.
One account covers every tool. On the free plan each tool has its own daily limit, and on Pro a single monthly subscription raises each tool to 1,000 uses every 24 hours. Allowances count per day, not per month, so there are no monthly credits to plan around.
Upscaling with Clipdrop
The upscaler offers 2x, 4x, 8x and 16x enlargement. The free plan is limited to 2x, and the high-resolution upscaler up to 16x is a Pro feature.
Clipdrop also denoises images as it raises their resolution, with minimal loss of sharpness and fidelity. You can drop up to 10 files at once to start a batch.
Images are processed on Clipdrop's servers, not on your computer. Clipdrop's tools cover images; there is no video upscaler.
Clipdrop's terms do not limit your ability to use images made on Clipdrop for commercial purposes.
To start, you click or drop up to 10 files onto the upscaler page and pick the enlargement. On the free plan that means up to 20 upscales at 2x every 24 hours; on Pro it means up to 1,000 every 24 hours at up to 16x, without waiting in the queue.
The Clipdrop API
Clipdrop's image upscaling is available to developers through the Jasper API, priced by usage, and Clipdrop's other APIs are now part of the Jasper API too.
Clipdrop pricing: what each plan gives
Free costs nothing. It includes the image upscaler at 2x for 20 images every 24 hours, and Clipdrop's other tools come with similar daily limits.
Pro costs $15 a month. It unlocks the high-resolution upscaler up to 16x, raises the allowance to 1,000 uses per tool every 24 hours, and skips the queue. A free trial of Pro is offered.
The API is priced by usage and sold as the Jasper API. Every plan, free or paid, carries the same terms on commercial use, which do not limit using the images you make.
Privacy and security
Clipdrop processes personal data in compliance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation. Images are processed on Clipdrop's servers.

Who Clipdrop suits
Clipdrop suits anyone who wants quick upscales in the browser alongside background removal, cleanup and relight, with nothing to install. The free plan's 20 daily upscales at 2x cover light use, and Pro's 1,000 uses per tool each day and 16x enlargement suit heavier image work at one flat monthly price.
It suits less well anyone who needs video upscaling, which Clipdrop does not offer, or who wants to keep images on their own computer, since everything is processed on Clipdrop's servers. Free jobs also wait in the queue that Pro skips, and the free plan's upscaler stops at 2x, so anything larger means paying for Pro.
