✓ Quick answer

How do I give a photo a grey studio background?

Upload the photo, remove the background with AI, then choose the light grey swatch or a grey gradient. Add a soft shadow for products and download.

How to change photo background to grey

  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.

Why grey works

Light grey is neutral, flatters skin tones, and avoids the harsh look of pure white. A light-to-mid grey gradient mimics a studio sweep.

Who uses grey

Corporate headshots, car dealers, furniture stores and fashion lookbooks.
