What Is AI CutoutWerk?
AI CutoutWerk is an image-editing app from developer Wei Ai, listed on the App Store as 维 艾. The German storefront shows the name "AI CutoutWerk" with the subtitle "KI-Freisteller, ganz offline"; the US, Japanese, Korean, Brazilian, French and Spanish storefronts list the same App Store ID as "AI CutoutCraft", and the developer's product page calls it "CutoutCraft". It is one app under several names, not several apps.
- AI cutout: a local model separates the subject from the background; several objects can be cut out of one image
- Compositions: arrange several cutouts on one canvas and move, scale and rotate each of them
- Restyle: more than 10 styles, applied to a single cutout or the whole image
- Backgrounds: transparent, a solid colour or an image from your device
- Light and shadow: an adjustable light source with position, colour, range and intensity
- Export: several sizes, plus SVG export of cutouts (added in version 1.0.6)
How Much Does AI CutoutWerk Cost?
AI CutoutWerk is free to download; features beyond the free tier are sold as in-app purchases. The listing describes the free tier as unlimited AI cutouts, restyling, background changes and original-size export, with up to 2 objects edited at once. One-time unlocks cover single-image export and restyling; a subscription tier adds multi-cutout compositions, full light controls and export in several sizes.
Purchase | Price (US store) |
|---|---|
| Free download | $0 |
| Unlock Cutout SVG Export | $1.99 |
| Unlock to Export Cutout Image | $1.99 |
| Unlock to Restyle Image | $1.99 |
| Pro Light | $0.99 |
| Pro Infinity | $4.99 |
| Unlock All Features Below | $5.99 |
Prices are as shown on the US App Store listing when this review was written; other storefronts show their own local prices. The listing does not say which purchases are subscriptions or what their billing periods are, and it does not map "Pro Light" and "Pro Infinity" to specific features.

Who Should Use AI CutoutWerk?
AI CutoutWerk suits Apple users who want quick background removal and simple cutout collages without a cloud upload, and who will test the free tier before paying. It is a poor fit if you need software that is actively maintained.
Use AI CutoutWerk if
- You have an iPhone, iPad or Mac and want to remove backgrounds without uploading photos, per the developer's description
- You want to arrange several cutouts on one canvas and export them, including as SVG
- You are willing to try the free tier first and buy nothing until it works on your device
Avoid AI CutoutWerk if
- You need an actively maintained app — see the update warning at the top of this page
- You use Windows or Android — no build for either was found
- You need source code you can audit — the app is closed source
- You want independent evidence of quality — there are no user ratings yet and this review did not test the app
What This Review Could Not Verify
These points could not be confirmed from the listing, the privacy policy or the product page, and they are stated here once.
- On-device processing and the absence of uploads are the developer's statements; no network traffic was inspected
- The listing does not say which in-app purchases are subscriptions, or their billing periods
- The free-tier description includes original-size export, while an in-app purchase is named "Unlock to Export Cutout Image"; the store text does not explain the difference
- It is not stated whether the Mac version is a native macOS app or the iPhone/iPad app running on Apple silicon
- The developer states that certain accessibility features are not supported, without saying which
Competitors and Alternatives
No dedicated background-removal app has been reviewed on this site yet, so these are the closest reviewed on-device image tools rather than direct rivals. AI CutoutWerk does cutouts and composites; the other two do upscaling and generation.
Tool | Platforms | Price | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| AI CutoutWerk | iPhone/iPad/Mac | Free + in-app purchases | Offline cutouts and collages |
| Real-ESRGAN | Windows/Linux/macOS | Free, Apache 2.0 | Upscaling images locally |
| Draw Things | macOS + iOS | Free (optional cloud tier) | Local image generation |
Pick AI CutoutWerk only for the cutout-and-compose job; for upscaling or generating images, one of the other two fits better.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does AI CutoutWerk upload my photos?
The privacy policy (effective 15 January 2026) says images are never uploaded and that the app uses no analytics, advertising SDKs or third-party AI services. The App Store privacy label reports no data collected.
Can AI CutoutWerk export SVG files?
Yes. SVG export of cutouts arrived in version 1.0.6 (30 October 2025) and is sold as its own one-time in-app purchase.
What changed in version 1.1.0?
The interface was updated to match the iOS and macOS 26 look, and the privacy and support pages were reworked for easier reading on the web.
Does AI CutoutWerk run on Apple Vision?
The listing names visionOS 1.0 or later as supported; this review did not test it there.
Is there a Windows or Android version?
None was found. The developer's product page lists iOS, iPadOS and macOS only.
