Can Cutola remove a background from a video?

No. It is a still-image tool. If you need video, Erase.bg does that and Cutola does not.

What file types does Cutola accept?

JPG/JPEG, PNG and WebP, up to 10 MB each. PDF and GIF are not supported.

Is there a passport photo tool?

No. You can remove the background and resize to a custom size, but there is no dedicated ID-photo workflow with country-specific presets.

Comparison

An Erase.bg alternative worth comparing

Erase.bg is a solid free-leaning background remover with a wide set of extras — video background removal, a passport photo maker and format-specific tools. Cutola covers less ground but goes deeper on what happens after the cutout.

Competitor plans and limits change often, so treat this as a starting point rather than a live price list and check their current pricing page before deciding. The fairest test is your own hardest image — hair, fur, thin straps or a busy background — run through both tools.

Where Erase.bg wins

Video background removal is the clearest one. Cutola is a still-image tool and does not process video at all, so if that is on your list this comparison ends here.

The passport and ID photo workflow is another genuine gap — that is a specific, regulated output size and Cutola has no dedicated tool for it. It also has more file-type entry points, including PDF and GIF, where Cutola accepts JPG, PNG and WebP only.

Where Cutola wins

What happens after the cutout: shadows, outlines, edge refinement and full brightness/contrast/saturation/sharpness controls in the same editor.
Background replacement options — a studio gradient sampled from your subject's own colours is a nicer default than flat white.
AI upscaling at 2x and 4x, and photo enhancement, without leaving for another product.
Transparent per-image cost with no subscription: $2 for 10 credits, down to about 6.5¢ an image at the top plan.
Free output is full-resolution and unwatermarked on every tier, so evaluating it costs nothing.
