Switching

How do I switch from Picsart to Kenerate?

  1. Step 1: Pick your hardest photos

    Choose 3–5 photos that matter to you — hair, fur, glass, white-on-white products.

  2. Step 2: Run them through Kenerate free

    Sign up for 25 free credits and use Cutout, or Cutout HD for fine edges. Object Pick keeps just one item.

  3. Step 3: Compare with Picsart

In depth

Picsart: background and how to compare

Who makes Picsart, what its remover is designed for, and a fair way to test it against Kenerate — with sources.

Who makes Picsart

Picsart was founded in 2011 by Hovhannes Avoyan, is headquartered in Miami with offices in Yerevan, Madrid, Berlin and elsewhere, and says it has 100M+ creators and 2.5B+ downloads [1]. It became a unicorn in 2021 after a $130M Series C led by SoftBank Vision Fund 2 [2].

What Picsart's remover is built for

Picsart's background remover sits inside a full creative suite, with batch processing of 50 images on Pro and 100 on Ultra, video background removal and an API via picsart.io; Picsart says it has removed over 700 million backgrounds [3].

How to compare Picsart and Kenerate fairly

Background removers mostly differ at the edges. Every edge pixel mixes subject and background colour, so hair, fur, lace and glass are where tools disagree [4]. Run the same three to five hard photos through Picsart and Kenerate's Cutout HD, then place each result on a dark background and zoom to 200% — thin halos show up there first, often from how a tool handles semi-transparent edge pixels [5].

Then check the output size you need and whether you need extras such as an API, batch processing or a desktop app.
