PhotoCut review
A flexible cover editor with podcast templates, AI tools, and transparent exports.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
PhotoCut is a freemium AI photo editor for creators, sellers, and businesses that need visual design tools, including podcast cover artwork. Its podcast templates support square covers for Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Podbean, and similar platforms, with JPEG and PNG output. The editor also includes text, filters, stickers, illustrations, shapes, resizing, custom image and logo uploads, background removal, object removal, and photo retouching. It is available on the web, iOS, Android, and macOS, making it suitable for creators who move between devices.
For podcast cover work, PhotoCut combines ready-made templates with a square canvas and AI-assisted image creation. Users can generate or replace backgrounds, create images from text, remove backgrounds for transparent cutouts, and export transparent PNG or WebP files. That gives designers options for both finished cover art and reusable visual elements. Cloud storage and project folders support ongoing work, while the platform’s wider design tools can handle social-size templates and general photo editing alongside podcast projects.
Pricing is split between a free Starter plan and the Pro Subscription. Starter includes photo editor tools, free design templates and assets, social-size templates, royalty-free images, and up to 1 GB of cloud storage. Pro costs INR 5,988 per year, equivalent to INR 499 per month on annual billing, and adds unlimited background removal and replacement, premium templates, unlimited assets, no watermark on projects, unlimited cloud storage, and multiple projects and folders. PhotoCut is a good fit for creators who want AI-assisted cover creation across devices; those seeking podcast hosting or distribution tools should choose a more specialized product.
