How to Change the Background in a Photo

Change Any Photo Background in Seconds

Whether you need a white background for a product listing, a professional backdrop for a headshot, or a scenic location for a portrait, changing a photo background used to mean hours in Photoshop. AI background replacement handles it in one step. Upload your photo, describe the background you want, and the AI does the rest.

When You Need to Change a Photo Background

• Product photos for Amazon, Etsy, eBay, or Shopify that need white backgrounds
• Professional headshots with a clean, neutral backdrop
• Portraits where the background is cluttered or distracting
• Real estate photos that need sky replacements on overcast days
• Social media content where the setting doesn't match the vibe

How AI Background Replacement Works

The AI analyzes your photo to identify the main subject and separate it from the background. It preserves fine details like hair, fur, and semi-transparent edges. Then it replaces the background with whatever you describe. You can request solid colors, gradients, real-world scenes, or even upload a reference image of the exact background you want.

Types of Background Changes You Can Make

EditThisPic handles every kind of background change. Remove the background entirely for a transparent PNG. Replace it with a solid color like white or blue. Swap in a completely different scene like a city skyline, tropical beach, or studio backdrop. You can also blur the existing background for a portrait effect or extend it to change the aspect ratio.

Tips for Better Background Replacements

Be specific in your description. Instead of 'change the background,' say 'replace the background with a soft-focus garden with warm sunlight.' If edges around hair or fine details need cleanup, follow up with 'clean up the edges around the hair.' For product photos, 'replace background with pure white' gets the cleanest results.
