Transform your photos by creating a dramatic color splash effect. This popular technique turns your image into black and white while keeping a specific subject in full color, making it pop. Instead of spending time with complicated editing software and manual selection tools, you can now achieve this look effortlessly. Just upload your picture and type a simple instruction. Our AI analyzes your image and applies the effect with precision, drawing the viewer's eye exactly where you want it for maximum impact.

Forget about confusing sliders, layers, and manual brushing. With Pixelcut’s AI editor, your words are the only tool you need. Simply describe the selective color effect you want to create. For example, you could say, 'Make the taxi yellow and the rest of the image black and white,' or 'Keep the roses red and desaturate the background.' Our conversational AI understands your instructions and brings your creative vision to life, offering a faster and more intuitive way to edit your photos.

Edit with Words, Not Complicated Tools

Getting clean edges with traditional selective color methods can be difficult and time-consuming. Our AI technology intelligently identifies and isolates objects in your photo based on your text prompt. This ensures that the color is applied or removed with sharp, accurate lines, avoiding the messy overlaps common with manual editing. Whether you're highlighting a piece of clothing in a portrait or a single flower in a field, the result is a professional-grade image with a clean and focused subject.
