Every option in the catalog for when you need to upscale, restore or cut the background out of a photo — 25 AI image editors and enhancers, 22 of them free or freemium, with the pricing tier printed on every row.
Flocci AI Tools lists 25 of them, ordered free tiers first: Segment Anything Playground, Affinity by Canva, BAGEL (ByteDance), BiRefNet and Krita AI Diffusion. 22 of the 25 are free or have a free tier. Each entry states what it uniquely does rather than a score.
9 on this page are marked fully free with no paid plan at all: Segment Anything Playground, Affinity by Canva, BAGEL (ByteDance), BiRefNet and Krita AI Diffusion. The remaining 16 are freemium, trial or paid, and each is labelled with its exact tier so nothing surprises you at sign-up.
Free tools first, then freemium, then trial, then paid, and alphabetically inside each tier. Nobody pays to appear higher: Flocci AI Tools carries no ads, no sponsored slots and no paid listings, so the order reflects price and nothing else.
