> AI-powered web suite for image editing, generation, and cleanup

Clipdrop is an AI image editing and generation platform that offers specialized tools like background removal, image inpainting, sketch-to-image (Stable Doodle), and outpainting (Uncrop). Originally built by InitML and later acquired by Stability AI and then Jasper, it allows creators to manipulate and generate visuals quickly without needing complex desktop design software.
