Is cutout.pro legit or a scam?
A functional AI editing platform with a history of massive data breaches and poor security transparency.
These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.

MT Intelligence
The platform is a long-standing business with high traffic and functional AI tools, but it carries a high risk due to its security history. In February 2024, a verified breach exposed over 20 million user records, including names and hashed passwords. Our research shows the company reportedly denied these findings despite independent verification by security researchers. Additionally, a 2023 server misconfiguration leaked millions of user images and logs. While the site is not a 'scam' in the sense of a fake shop, the repeated failure to protect user data makes it a high-risk environment for personal information.
