Click-to-Cut splits any photo into clean, editable segments — isolate faces, hair, cars, or any object — directly inside Canva, without AI or cloud processing. Unlike typical background-removal tools, it runs entirely on local resources, so cuts are instant and stay fully editable as separate layers. From the makers of HexGrid Overlay, already live on Canva.

Could you build this?
Partial Canva apps run in web sandboxes; embedding client-side zero-cloud semantic segmentation for arbitrary image objects locally requires optimizing in-browser ML models like Segment Anything (SAM) via ONNX Runtime Web/WebGPU.
What it would actually take: The app is implemented as a Canva Apps SDK plugin running completely client-side in the browser. It requires running a quantized segmentation model (such as MobileSAM or FastSAM) compiled to ONNX Runtime Web with WebGPU acceleration, managing interactive prompt masks from user clicks without server inference. Deep familiarity with browser WebGL/WebGPU resource limits, canvas manipulation, and tensor pre/post-processing is necessary to maintain high framerates inside Canva's iframe.
