Compare Photoveda with other players

Polotno

Visit: Polotno

Polotno(wonder what that means) is a website begun by a very successful open source dev like myself(Anton Levrenov) .

It is an SDK but also features an editor.

Background removal
Video and image editor
White label for B2B businesses

It features these:

Magic resize
Variable data injection
AI image gen
AI copywriting

I found their traffic is very low on similarweb but a serious player. They sell SDK for 399$, so a steal perhaps?

Cutout

Visit: Cutout

Cutout is a company based in Hong Kong backed by AI labs called libAI. They have a handful of AI tools among others. Their API seems most popular but there is no way of finding out. Cutout supports the following:

Background removal
Face cutout
Colorization
AI art generation

Among other things. Photoveda is only focused on all things image processing without the AI part. Since Photoveda has a comprehensive API like Cutout pro we are similar in that sense.

Pixo

Visit: Pixo

Pixo seems to offer roughly the same feature set as Photoveda. They have background removal which we don’t. Moreover Pixo has Wordpress plugin whilst we have Chrome plugin.

Pixo website looks more distracting due to too much graphics. Our website is clean and neat.

PixieEditor

Visit: PixieEditor

UI looks old and unfriendly.

But interesting nevertheless.

I don’t think it can be a competitor, looks too basic.

img2go

Visit: img2go

img2go has a lot of AI features and pretty much same features as Photoveda otherwise. Somehow the interface looks very basic and a little backwards. The interface is little poorly designed but it has a lot of features we may include in future editions of Photoveda.

Fotor

Visit: Fotor

Fotor is a British company with a really massive userbase and a whole suite of features. It looks like a really successful and feature rich company with a product that has lot of users. I tried playing with their online tool and fotor is a very advanced tool.

Photoveda has no intention to match upto Fotor. We are going to carve out our own niche to do tasks that we are good at.

Pixlr

Visit: Pixlr

Pixlr has some AI tools alongside a template library and other image processing. It is similar to Cutout in that sense. But Pixlr has no API.

It looks like a designer centric website.

Media.io

Visit: Media.io

The Media website does more than just image processing. They seem invested in AI based tech and does many cool things with images with an AI focus.

Since they are more than just image work they are not our direct competition.

Imgupscaler

Visit: Imgupscaler

This is a website that does image upscaling using AI and does a few other AI stuff like background removal. It says it is free for commercial use. So perhaps ad funded.

imgur

Visit: imgur

Imgur is the world #1 platform for images. You can upload any number of images and they have an API too which I have never tested. But manual uploading is really easy. It is really an image lovers’ paradise since you can upload images to imgur and use in your markdown articles seamlessly.

However they have nothing to do with photo editing.

persofoto

Visit: persofoto

Persofoto is purely focused on image processing for passports and id documents like licenses. They have done a neat job of focusing on a subset of the image processing landscape to solve a real problem people face.

upscale.media

Visit: upscale.media

It does only image upscaling at a very competitive price.

I wonder if people pay for just upscaling images.

letsenhance.io

Visit: letsenhance.io

Letsenhance has a bunch of AI tools and there is an API as well. When I click at API they ask me to fill up a big form. This is going to put people off.

Does not look developer friendly.

Also the API provider is a different player as the domain name changes.

theinpaint

Visit: theinpaint

This looks like a very old website designed for the Windows ecosystem. The website features a handful of tools like object removal and has some very simple looking pages. Looks more like a very basic photo editor than anything else.

picwish

Visit: picwish

picwish is like cutout as it has a lot of AI features with API support as well. Not sure how they compare in features but their website looks more biz focused but cutout is more developer focused.

It is an interesting company to explore further.

photoroom

Visit: photoroom

Photoroom has created a bunch of products with just background removal as the main engine. It has a neat interface and does not talk much about normal image processing.

hotpot

Visit: hotpot

Hotpot is a purely AI based image processing platform. We did not include AI tools in this comparison list but this one looked too good.

iloveimg

Visit: iloveimg

This one looks very similar to img2go and has a somewhat boring interface.

There is not a single AI tool mentioned. So that way they are very similar to Photoveda.

resizepixel

Visit: resizepixel

This one has a really neat interface with a single focus on doing the most essential image processing tasks. It has image compression too. I found a lot of free tools for image compression online. tinypng seems the clear winner though.

colourise

Visit: colourise

This is a website purely focused on colorizing with AI. This uses convolutional neural networks for doing its job.Just like we have a handful of background removal tools and companies built on top of this , you can find this website focusing on colorizing.

I find the website very basic and too boring.

photoscissors

Visit: photoscissors

This is a website that focused on object removal using AI background removal. We have already seen a few in that category.

snappa

Visit: snappa

snappa is a company that makes photo editing easy to make various banners. It is a 5 member company in Canada earning 2.3 million dollars annually.

picmonkey

Visit: picmonkey

picmonkey is a company that makes photo editing easy to make various banners.

Makes a lot of money from what I can tell.

iresizer

Visit: iresizer

It belongs to the same ecosystem as photoscissors. It focuses on changing aspect ratios which we support as well as background removal which we don’t.

photostitcher

Visit: photostitcher

Photostitcher is a very interesting application that can stitch together photos.

If possible we can includ this feature in a future release. However we now lack this ability.

pintura

Visit: pintura

Seems like a really nice image editor with advanced features.

Perhaps a likely target for a fully fledged SDK and comprehensive image editing.

picsart

Visit: picsart

Looks like a well entrenched player making millions according to third party estimates.

Has video editing and is priced competitively. It is having a huge AI focus though.

I prefer to look at my competition as the non AI folks.

zoner

Visit: zoner

Looks like a website focused on photo editing and not meme or image editing like other players, not sure about revenue and stuff.

Leadtools

Visit: leadtools

They are big in medical image processing and SDKs.

Their image algorithms look best in the industry and they seem to be only selling SDKs.

Befunky

Visit: befunky

It appears this is a well entrenched player in image editing.

I need to see if I am on target against what they offer.

ipiccy

Visit: ipiccy

It appears this is a well entrenched player in image editing.

I need to see if I am on target against what they offer.

I keep finding more and more competition as time goes on.

imgpen

Visit: imgpen

A neat user interface with API.

Seems like a player with low user base.

photokit

Visit: photokit

A neat user interface with API.

Seems like a player with low user base.

I like their interface and API integration docs.

Darktable

Visit: Darktable

darktable is an open source photography workflow application and raw developer. A virtual lighttable and darkroom for photographers. It manages your digital negatives in a database, lets you view them through a zoomable lighttable and enables you to develop raw images and enhance them.

Vistacreate

Visit: Vistacreate

Gets a traffic of 1.6 million visits per month which is pretty impressive. Looks like a serious player with good revenue and features.

Desygner

Visit: Desygner

Traffic is only 500,000 per month. Not bad , but most of the visits are from USA. Can’t predict revenue or brand value.

Edit-photos-for-free

Visit: Canva design editor

Seems to be some free tool from Canva.Still it can serve as a competitor.

APItemplate.io

Visit: apitemplate.io

These players are big in API business. Look at their bottom menu.

It is huge, they focus on use cases.

This is the new trend for SaaS businesses. They teach people how to use our tool to solve real life problems. After all that is the purpose of software.

I find the similarweb traffic to be low.
