How to change the background of a photo

  1. 01

    Upload your image

    Drop a JPG, PNG, WebP or HEIC file into the uploader, paste it with Ctrl+V, or paste an image URL.

  2. 02

    AI removes the background

    Our segmentation model finds the subject and cuts it out with soft, hair-level edges in a few seconds.

  3. 03

    Download or edit

    Download a transparent PNG, or swap in a solid colour, a photo or a blurred background first.

Four kinds of new background

Solid colours for clean looks, gradients for modern social posts, your own photo for scenes, or a blurred version of the original for a portrait-mode effect.

  • Colour
  • Gradient
  • Photo
