What each tool does
Stability AI is a generative AI company widely known for Stable Diffusion. It offers models and professional tools for creative work, aimed at creators and businesses that need content production at scale, including enterprise teams.
Clipdrop is a set of focused AI image tools. It can cut out subjects, replace backgrounds, remove unwanted objects or text, uncrop photos, relight scenes and upscale by 2x or 4x. It also includes text-to-image generation, a social media resizer and an API for businesses, all in the browser.
