What it is

Change background with AI: redrawn, not pasted

To change background with AI, upload a photo and say what should be behind the subject: a color, a studio or a place. The person, pet or product stays as it is, and the new background is painted around it, with light and shadows that match: warmer at sunset, cooler in the snow, a shadow that falls the right way.

Most photo background changers cut the subject out and paste it onto a new picture, which is where hair looks chopped and a product seems to float. Here the whole picture is redrawn with the subject in it, so edges stay soft. Every new account gets 5 free edits.

  1. 1.

    Any color or scene

    Plain white, a studio, a city or a place you describe.

  2. 2.

    Subject unchanged

    Faces, products and pets stay as they were.

  3. 3.

    Matching light

    Shadows and color fit the new background.

Colors

Change background color: white, grey, blue or beige

A plain color is what most people want when they change background: white for a store listing, grey or blue for a profile photo, beige for a softer look. Tap a color to compare it with the original garage photo.

“Replace the background with a plain white studio backdrop. Keep the framing, her size and her position exactly as they are”

“Replace the background with a plain white studio backdrop. Keep the framing, her size and her position exactly as they are”

Any other color works the same way: “Replace the background with a solid pastel pink background.”

    Curls against the new background

    No halo and no chopped strands: the hair is drawn with the white behind it.

  2. The edge of the sweater: OriginalOriginal
    The edge of the sweater: EditedEdited

    The edge of the sweater

    A soft, clean outline, with the knit texture kept.

  • Same color as the backdrop

    A white shirt on a white wall gives the model little to separate. Pick a contrasting color.

  • Very loose hair in the wind

    Strands that fly far from the head can come out tidier than they were.

  • Large overlapping groups

    Two or three people work well; a crowd where people overlap can need a second try.
