Hand-drawn clipping paths for pixel-perfect edges on every vehicle and part.

Every image is edited by a specialist retoucher and quality-checked before delivery, so your listings look consistent, professional and ready to sell.

A clipping path is the hand-drawn outline that separates a car from everything around it — the foundation of almost every professional edit. Our car clipping path service draws that path point by point in Photoshop, so the cutout is exact at any size, on any background.

Cars are unforgiving subjects for selection tools: glass you can see through, chrome that mirrors the surroundings, thin aerials, roof rails and detailed wheel spokes. A drawn path handles all of it without eating into the bodywork or leaving halos, and it stays editable — your designer can reopen the file and adjust the path later. We deliver paths named and organised the way studios expect, so files drop straight into an existing production workflow.

Order paths on their own if your team does its own retouching, or let us finish the job: the same path powers our transparent background cutouts and background replacement. Studios also send parts and accessories — the workflow is identical to our spare parts editing. Try 5-10 images free and inspect the path at 400%.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a clipping path, in plain terms?
It is a precise outline drawn around the vehicle by hand, used to separate it cleanly from its background. Think of it as a perfect stencil: everything inside the line is the car, everything outside can be removed or replaced.
How much does the clipping path service cost?
It is $0.39 per image for standard vehicles, with 10% off at 100+ images and 15% off at 500+. Complex multi-path work is quoted before we start.
What do I receive — just the path, or a finished cutout?
Your choice. We can deliver the file with the path saved and active, a finished cutout on transparency, or both. Tell us how your team works and we will match it.
Can you draw multiple paths in one image?
Yes — separate paths for windows, wheels or colour-change areas (for showing paint options) are a common request. Mention it in your order notes and we will quote it in.
Why hand-drawn instead of AI selection?
AI selection is fast but often rough around glass, spokes and reflections, and it gives you nothing editable. A hand-drawn path is smooth at any zoom and can be reused and adjusted for years.
How fast are paths delivered?
Standard turnaround is 24 hours. Studios on a deadline can choose Express (12 hours) or Same day when ordering.
