Pricing without consistency costs more.

Most clipping path service providers compete on price. That leads to rework, delays and hidden costs. So your price is built on three things, and you get predictable quality, not unpredictable results.

Image complexity

Five grades, from a smooth box to a chain necklace.

Volume scale

One image or a full catalog. Flat rate for mixed batches.

Turnaround requirements

48-hour and overnight included. Rush when you need it.

The work behind the price.

Real production samples. Every image is refined by a human editor, the way photographers, eCommerce brands and creative teams need it.

Read the full FAQ ›

How much does a clipping path cost?

$1.00 per image for easy shapes, $3.00 for medium, $5.00 for complex and $16.00 for super complex. A mixed batch can run at a $2.50 flat rate per image.

What's included in the price?

48-hour and 20-hour overnight delivery, revisions, and your choice of white-background JPEG, transparent PSD/TIFF, layer mask or path-only. No minimum order.

How much is rush delivery?

10-hour Prompt adds 70%, 4-hour Express adds 200% and 1-hour Rush adds 300%, applied to the whole order. Example: 100 shoes (medium) with drop shadow at 10 hours = 100 × $3.50 × 1.7 = $595.

How do I know which complexity my images are?

Send them. We grade every image for free before you pay, or test us on 3 images first.

How are masking, ghost mannequin and vector priced?

They're graded the same way: by edges, holes and detail. Hair masking and multi-path work, plus ghost mannequin and raster-to-vector, get an exact quote from your sample images.

Do you offer volume pricing?

Yes, for 500+ images a month. Book a production call and we'll price your recurring volume.

Do you use AI to cut paths?

No. Every path is drawn by hand with the Pen Tool and checked in 3-step QC. That's what the price pays for.

Your images deserve human judgment, not algorithms.

Let's build a reliable, production-ready workflow that scales with confidence.
