Claid review

What Claid is

Claid is an AI image editor for product photos. You upload a product shot, and it can remove the background, sharpen and upscale the image, fix light and color, or place the product in a new lifestyle scene Claid ↗.

It goes further for clothing brands. AI Fashion turns a garment into an on model shot, with virtual try on, flat lay to model and a library of AI models Claid ↗. Newer tools turn images into short videos, including fashion and UGC style clips Claid ↗.

Claid works in a web app and through an API, and connects to Zapier Claid ↗. The company says it has been building generative AI since 2018, serves more than 10,000 businesses and has edited over 200 million images Claid ↗. Hands on testing is in progress.

What it does well

It is focused on products. Claid says its models are trained on product photography and preserve logos and branding Claid ↗. Zapier named it the best AI photo editor for product photos, saying it does a great job even with bad uploads and that its AI fashion models are great for clothing brands Zapier ↗.

The toolset is broad. Beyond background removal and upscaling, Claid offers object and people removal, image expansion, generative fill, relighting, glare removal, AI shadows, color changes and product swaps Claid ↗. That covers most of what a store needs to turn phone photos into catalog images.

Output quality is high. Claid claims native 4K output, and paid plans can download images up to 64 megapixels on Essentials and 128 megapixels on Pro Claid ↗ Claid pricing ↗.

It scales. Pro and Business add batch processing, a priority queue and brand kits, and Business adds custom API workflows and dedicated onboarding Claid pricing ↗. Claid says Printify saved 42% of editing time Claid ↗.

Credit costs are clear. A background removal costs 1 credit, an AI photoshoot or AI fashion image 4 credits, an upscale 2 to 8 credits, and a 5 second AI video 60 credits Claid pricing ↗.

Where it falls short

Prices are hard to find. Claid's pricing page lists credits and limits for each plan but not the dollar prices for Essentials or Pro, and says prices may change Claid pricing ↗. The figure we could confirm comes from Zapier: Essentials from $15 a month with 500 credits Zapier ↗.

Zapier calls it relatively expensive Zapier ↗. Photoroom's Pro plan, a common rival for product photos, costs $7.50 a month billed yearly Photoroom pricing ↗.

The free tier is small. You get 50 credits once, enough for 50 background removals or 12 AI photoshoots, and no AI video Claid pricing ↗. Free history is kept for only 24 hours Claid pricing ↗. Photoroom's free plan allows 25 exports a week Photoroom help ↗.

Credits do not roll over. Claid's help center says unused API credits expire at the end of each monthly billing period Claid help ↗.

Some details are missing. The pricing page does not describe cancellation, refunds or how long the Pro trial lasts Claid pricing ↗. It is also a product photo tool, not a general photo editor for portraits or travel shots.

Pricing and plans

Free costs $0 and includes 50 credits once, for example 50 background removals, 25 upscales or 12 AI photoshoots, plus 50 API credits. No AI video is included, and history is kept for 24 hours Claid pricing ↗.

Essentials allows 500 background removals, 250 upscales, 125 AI photoshoots and 8 AI videos a month, with 1 month of history Claid pricing ↗. Claid does not show its price; Zapier lists it from $15 a month with 500 credits Zapier ↗.

Pro includes 2,000 credits a month: up to 2,000 background removals, 1,000 upscales, 500 AI photoshoots or 33 AI videos, plus batch processing, brand kits and 3 months of history Claid pricing ↗. The price is not listed on the page Claid pricing ↗.

Business is custom priced with unlimited use of each feature, downloads up to 559 megapixels, custom API workflows and dedicated support Claid pricing ↗.

Claid shows a Save $120 label for annual billing but does not say which plan it applies to Claid pricing ↗. A try before you buy offer gives 5 trial images on Pro Claid pricing ↗. API credits can be topped up in batches of 1,000 Claid help ↗.

Who should (and shouldn't) use it

• Good fit: online stores and marketplaces that edit many product photos each month.
• Good fit: clothing brands that want on model shots without a photoshoot.
• Good fit: developers who want background removal or upscaling through an API.
• Skip it if: you want a lasting free plan. Photoroom and Adobe Express offer ongoing free allowances.
• Skip it if: you edit personal photos rather than products.
