Quickly remove unwanted backgrounds or create razor-sharp photo cutouts with the Pen Selection Tool. Previously found only in advanced desktop programs, now available for the very first time on iPhone and iPad with a streamlined and much simplified implementation optimized for touch. This incredibly versatile tool offers unique capabilities unmatched by anything else on the App Store. It’s an integral part of the professional toolbox and artists and photographers have relied on it for decades. Now you can too! You no longer have to waste hours working on a single photo only to achieve less than satisfactory results. With Exacto you can make pixel-perfect selections that precisely trace the contours of any subject, no matter how intricate or complex. But that’s not all! Exacto even goes beyond the standard functionality of the Pen Selection Tool by introducing features that provide greater flexibility and control such as the ability to delete and insert points anywhere in the selection, the ability to reset control points, and most importantly, unlimited layers for making multiple selections. In addition, Exacto offers other advanced features that greatly enhance the user experience including unlimited undo / redo, projects autosave, instant preview, and much more!
Here’s how it works:
1 - Place points around an area of interest then drag them into position to make a selection.
2 - Add layers to make selections of multiple subjects and areas in your photo.
3 - Keep track of your progress with the full-size instant preview option.
4 - Made a mistake? With unlimited undo / redo your entire editing history is preserved, from start to finish. So you can go backward or forward as many steps as you need.
5 - Must leave in a hurry? With autosave your work is never lost and you can pick up right where you left off at any time.
6 - All done? Save your photo cutout to the Camera Roll or open it in other apps.
There’s no limit to the fun and exciting ways you could use your photo cutouts. For example, you could:
1 - Superimpose them on different backgrounds.
2 - Insert them in work or school presentations.
3 - Use them as stickers in chats.
4 - Use them in creating decorative art.
5 - Print them out and make actual cardboard cutouts for special occasions.
and on and on!

Exacto App Comments & Reviews
Exacto Positive Reviews
Perfect, but missing one thingThis app works great, easy to use, and cuts out images very cleanly. The only problem I have is when I save my cut out picture to my camera roll, it saves it with a white background. I wish you could just save it with a transparent background or no background at all, so you don’t have to re cut it out on a different app....Version: 2.7
Cool AppGood job on this app. Does the cut out superbly. Pretty easy to pick up by going through the tutorial first. Haven’t seen a use for the magnet function yet as opposed to just adding more points. But, will test it more. For the reviews mentioning not being able to save to camera roll - this is a heads up for new users. When you try to export your very first project, you’ll get the typical permission prompt. Even when you tap to accept, that very first attempt gives you an error. But click to export again right after and it works just fine. So it’s just some quirk with the permissions step for me..Version: 2.5
Great for cutting out PNGsI used this App's predecessor "Photo Fusion" for several years. It had a clumsy interface, but it got the job done and Apple states it will not work on iOS 11, so I purchased Exacto. The controls have been greatly improved with regard to placing points and modifying their position. The undo buffer and ability to insert and delete points randomly improves the experience. And saving a PNG of the selected area is now as simple as it gets. However the App could be improved if the developer combined the creative composition tools present in Photo Fusion with the precise selection and cropping function in Exacto. If that happens more stars will be awarded..Version: 2.0
Works PerfectlyThis is by far the best app for cutting something out of a background. It doesn’t use computer generated points, which work poorly when the background is a similar color, and instead allows you to manually (and very easily) decide where you want those cutout points to be. I highly recommend this app! Very well worth the price..Version: 2.5
Love it!There’s a little learning curve, but once you’re accustomed it’s quick and accurate...The way it hugs curves and negotiates tight angles is much more accurate than the other erasers I’ve tried. It leaves a sharp edge, but gives you the option of feathering...which also comes in handy and makes a project look that much better. Great app!👍.Version: 2.1
I LikeVery nice application.Version: 2.0
Cant SaveHave used this a lot until i purchased my new Xs with ios12.0.1, the problem arose when trying to save and getting “Access Denied” which is very frustrating after working on an especially detailed image. Hope the resolve SOON!.Version: 2.2
Long overdue!Have been waiting for such an app for ages. Finally I can get some real work done on the go. If precision is a priority for you and you want superior results, then nothing else even comes close. Highly recommended..Version: 2.0
Best selection tool out thereThanks for creating this app, it’s very accurate and intuitive. The masked objects have loaded seamlessly into my various editing apps for merging and adjusting. The detail I can get is terrific!.Version: 2.1
Great App if you mastered itApp can be tricky cause at the beginning you need to figure a few things and it can get confusing but once you mastered it this app works fabulous.Version: 2.3.1
Great app for CutoutsIn just a few minutes, I was using the app with confidence and enjoyment. The “feathering” feature is nice and makes the image look high-etched. I like this app..Version: 2.3.1
Photo fusionI love that app please update it. It worked great! my friends and I used it constantly to edit pictures. We’ve made some great ones. This app seems a little more complicated than fusion. Can you give us old guys a break?😉.Version: 2.1
No regretsI love it, I was nervous I wouldn’t know what I’m doing, but it’s easy to use, now I can make myself some discord stickers!.Version: 2.8

Miss photofusion appThe exacto part works great but I wish it was like it’s counterpart photofusion where you can add a whole another picture to fit in the parts you exacto takes out.Version: 2.1
Very Intriguing AppThis app invites you to spend time working on your projects! I like it a lot!.Version: 2.6

Thank You Immensely for the UpdateMy sincere thanks and gratitude to the developer of this wonderful application, for finally adding the multicolored line effect to the app. This is just great in my opinion and it's something I requested forever ago. Now when I'm working on fully white photos I can finally see the selection line okay. I'm so, so happy about this new feature and update and, again, I just want to thank this great developer a ton for listening to customers and implementing this vital new function, thank you. Outside of the update, though, I wholeheartedly recommend purchasing Exacto. It's one of my most used applications on my iPhone and I find it to be indispensable when I'm wanting to isolate and easily cut out items from photos or artwork. The way this beautiful app asks you to cut stuff out might seem different at first to new users. But, I can honestly tell you that once you familiarize yourself with how the cutting function works. Well, for me at least, it's about three times as fast in cutting out and isolating items in photos as compared to the usual background eraser app. I say this because those types of apps take so much more time I believe to get what you want cut out and often times you'll miss little pieces when erasing that become problematic later on. That's not even an issue with how awesomely I think Exacto works though. That's because in this app you're just drawing a line around what you want cut out, which you can feather the outline too, instead of spending so much time erasing around what you want to isolate and cut out. I really never would want to go back to background erasing applications after having the speedy simplicity of what Exacto offers. This app easily deserves 5-stars I believe and the developer, again, is just great I think because they listen to customers and introduce helpful and requested new features like in this most recent update. Which, thanks so much once again for this recent update, I could not be happier and more grateful for the fix too the selection line color. Thanks for all the hard work and time no doubt put into this awesome and innovative application over the years, Merry Christmas 🎄 😇 and God bless..Version: 2.5
JPGreat app.Version: 2.5
Excellent app to add to your photography repertoireI've been hoping for an app like this to come out for a long time, and I'm overall super pleased with it! It is a no-brainer purchase if you've ever needed to work with selection on the iPad, and I recommend it wholeheartedly. Personally, I'd love to see two updates to this app. First, it would be wonderful to see an automatic selection tool added at some point, even if it's not perfect. Second, the app could greatly benefit from allowing the import and export of multiple files at the same time (Even if it has to be done through something like Workflow). Thanks for the awesome app guys and please keep up development! For the record, if the above tools were ever added, I would gladly pay a subscription fee to the app or any other alternative pricing model..Version: 1.0
Excellent purpose built appI've found Exacto to be an easy to use tool that makes very detailed cropping simple. There's a detailed guide presented the first time you launch the app that I found helpful, but maybe a bit unnecessary, as the interface is straightforward and intuitive. The developer is easy to contact, responsive and professional. In response other reviews claiming the app is difficult to use, I'd like to say I utterly disagree. I found the cropping process to be very easy. As you tap along the edge where you want the cut to be Exacto inserts line segments that are automatically connected. From there, if desired, you can zoom in and fine tune the edge to an incredible degree. A basic crop takes seconds, a detailed crop will take longer with adjustment time, but the level of detail you want for each crop is completely up to you. If you do any type of photo editing or combining, Exacto will be an excellent tool for you..Version: 1.0
Easy and fun to learn!I am incredibly impressed with this app! I've had a hard time figuring out how to cut out pictures for ages, before even cell phones, and Exacto is the first and best teacher I've ever had. I have no math/logic skills, so vectors are not remotely intuitive to me, but for the first time I get it! Thanks to the easy simple steps and the ability to back out of any decision, I can just play...and now I truly get it! Thanks Exacto!.Version: 1.0
Simple, awesome results!I'm a novice at this, and have been trying to find an effective means to trim and build photos. I've read reviews that some believe Exacto is tough, but for such excellent results, I found it easy and straight forward. Support is also excellent. I asked what app would be best suited to layer the images, and received a response within hours (Adobe PhotoShop Mix). I wish every app was this effective..Version: 1.5
AwesomeThe people giving this app one star do not understand vectors and how to work with them, SO IGNORE THEM WHEN THEY SAY IT IS HARD TO USE. This app is awesome, you can quickly remove elements from photos for collage etc. collage artists will especially love the simplicity and effectiveness of the app. The best part is you can adjust the points AWAY from your objects making it super easy for exact detailing. LOVE.Version: 1.0
MEDIOCRE APP… I am being very generous with this 3 star rating … you ( developers ) NEED to introduce a REFINE SELECTION BRUSH as your current method sucks lemons ( ADD A REFINE SELECTION BRUSH !!!!!) the ability to save a finished extraction DOES NOT WORK !!!! C’mon, coffee break is over, get your asses planted at your desks AND FIX THIS JALOPY … Henry Ford could do better …..Version: 2.9
10/10A very excellent app and very easy to use. 👍 once you get used to it that is..Version: 2.3.1
Works Great!This is a really fast way to remove subjects from their backgrounds. To be really good images, you need to invest some time..Version: 2.5
Magnetic lassoA magnetic lasso would be nice, for a faster editing. Great app💯.Version: 2.3.1
