OpenCut Tools

Why this exists

I needed to replace a color in an image the other day.

Spent 20 minutes trying to find a tool that wasn't shit.

Site 1: Can't paste images. Have to download my clipboard image, upload it, then delete it. Immediately close tab.

Site 2: Can't paste images either. Close.

Site 3: Finally! Paste support! Oh wait—massive "UPGRADE TO PRO NOW" popup blocks the entire screen. Close popup. UI has 500 buttons everywhere. Okay whatever, let's try the color picker... NO EYEDROPPER. A color replacement tool with no way to select colors from the image. The most obvious feature. Not there.

Now I have to open ANOTHER site just to extract the hex code from my image. Google "extract color from image". Find a site. Upload image again. Get the color. Copy hex code.

Go back to the replacement site. Paste the hex. Click replace.

It didn't even work.

Started over. Sat there for 10 minutes and it eventually worked.


The no-bullshit version

Every image/video tool on the internet has the same problems:

  • Can't paste images
  • Paywalls for basic features
  • Aggressive popups and ads
  • Bloated UIs
  • Missing obvious features (eyedroppers, copy result, etc)
  • Can't batch process
  • Tracking your every move
  • Login to use the tool

OpenCut Tools is different:

  • Paste images directly
  • Every tool has the features you'd expect
  • Copy results
  • No login required for free tier
  • Minimal, clean UI
  • Privacy-first (we don't want your data)
  • Batch processing
  • No ads, no popups, no bullshit

Free for most users. Premium ($8/month) for power features like batch processing and advanced tools.


The mission

Same as OpenCut: build tools that don't suck and actually respect your privacy.

No VC money. No dark patterns. No selling your data.

Just tools that work the way they should have from the beginning.
