| |
| − | Online tools to create alpha cutouts from an image. All of them offer free services but some charge you if you want to download a high resolution copy of the picture. 0.25 megapixels seems to be the most common limit for free downloads. For a square image this means 500x500 pixels so slightly less than a standard 512x512.
