I'm sure everyone in their work inevitably needs to do some image processing, and clipping is the most basic operation.
Although it's not difficult, every time you have to open tools like Photoshop to do a bunch of operations, especially if you don't need such fine clipping, there's always a feeling of "using a cannon to kill a mosquito" if you still use Photoshop.
It's a waste of time and energy.
Today, I will introduce a tool called Magic Copy that allows you to directly clip images in your browser - it's really convenient!
Project Introduction
Magic Copy is a tool that allows you to clip images directly in your browser. It supports Chrome and Firefox, and has already received 1.8k stars.
This tool uses Meta AI's Segment Anything Model (SAM) AI model, which can easily clip out the part you want, and the effect is very good.
Project Installation
Here, I will demonstrate the installation using the Chrome browser. There are two ways to install:
Method 1: Search for Magic Copy in the application store and install it directly.
Method 2:
-
Download magic-copy.zip from the project's releases page and extract it.
-
Open the Chrome browser and enter "chrome://extensions/" in the address bar, open the developer mode, and load the extracted file.
Demo
After installation, randomly select an image in the browser, right-click and select Magic Copy.Then you will enter the clipping interface. Use the left mouse button to select the part of the image you want to clip. For example, in the image below, the green dinosaur, the tool will automatically select the entire body of the dinosaur.
Then in the upper right corner, you can choose to copy to the clipboard or download the image directly.
If you want to clip other shapes as well, you can use the left mouse button to make multiple selections and use the undo button until you select the image you are satisfied with. Click "Preview" to directly view the clipping effect.
Project Summary
After trying it out, I feel that Magic Copy is very convenient to use overall. It can be done with just one click, and the clipping effect is also very good. For scenarios where fine clipping is not required, it is simply amazing and highly recommended for everyone to use.
The project also supports local deployment. If you are interested, you can explore the project at the following address:
