How it works

  1. Upload your photo

    Upload a clear photo showing the area you want to edit. Good lighting and sharp focus help the AI deliver better gradient background results. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB.

    Expect: Most edits complete in 20-45 seconds. Complex changes may need 1-2 refinements.

  2. Describe your edit

    Type what you want: 'Add a smooth blue to purple gradient background.' Be specific about details for best results. The AI understands natural language — no technical skills needed.

    Tip: For best edge quality, use photos where the subject contrasts with the background.

    Copy one of these to get started:

    Blue to Purple Add a smooth gradient background transitioning from deep blue at the top to soft purple at the bottom
    Try This →
    Warm Sunset Add a warm gradient background from orange at the top to pink at the bottom
    Try This →
    Pastel Dream Add a soft pastel gradient from light pink to baby blue
    Try This →
    Dark Fade Add a dark gradient background from black at the edges to dark gray in the center
    Try This →
    2 more prompts
    Green Nature Add a gradient from dark forest green at the top to light mint green at the bottom
    Try This →
    Multi-Color Add a vibrant gradient from teal to purple to pink flowing diagonally
    Try This →

  3. Review the result

    Use the before/after slider to compare results. Check that the gradient background edit blends naturally with surrounding areas — look for consistent lighting, color matching, and clean edges throughout.

  4. Refine if needed

    If any areas need fine-tuning, tap markers on those specific spots and describe what to fix. The AI can adjust individual regions without redoing the entire edit — useful for perfecting gradient background details in tricky areas.

    Tip: Markers are optional. Try without them first — the AI usually gets it right.

Detailed Guides by Scenario

📷

Home & Interior Design

Preview how gradient background would look in a room or space before committing to a purchase or renovation.

Common Scenarios

  • Visualizing gradient background in a living room, bedroom, or office before buying
  • Creating client mockups that show gradient background in their actual space
  • Comparing different placements of gradient background in renovation plans

Best Practices

  • Upload a well-lit, straight-on photo of the room for the most realistic result
  • Specify the size and position — e.g., 'add a large gradient background on the left wall'
  • Match the room's lighting in your prompt: 'warm lighting' for evening shots, 'natural daylight' for window-lit rooms
📷

Creative & Social Content

Use gradient background to create eye-catching content for social media, digital art, or personal projects.

Common Scenarios

  • Adding gradient background to photos for unique social media posts that stand out in feeds
  • Creating fantasy or composite images that incorporate gradient background for art projects
  • Making holiday or themed content by placing gradient background in seasonal photos

Best Practices

  • Be specific about the style — 'realistic gradient background' vs. 'illustrated gradient background' gives very different results
  • Use reference images when you want the AI to match a particular look
  • For social content, try unusual placements that create a surreal or humorous effect
📷

Professional & Marketing Use

Incorporate gradient background into marketing materials, presentations, and product catalogs without expensive photo shoots.

Common Scenarios

  • Adding gradient background to product mockups and marketing banners
  • Creating presentation slides that show gradient background in context
  • Building a catalog of variations that feature gradient background in different settings

Best Practices

  • Use high-resolution source images — marketing materials demand sharp details
  • Keep brand guidelines in mind: specify colors and style that match when adding gradient background
  • Generate multiple versions and A/B test which placement performs best in ads

If something looks off

AI changed the wrong area

Why: The AI couldn't determine exactly which area you meant from the description alone.

Try: Tap a marker on the specific area you want to edit, then regenerate with the same prompt
Try This →

Tip: Markers tell the AI exactly where to focus. Use them when description alone is ambiguous.

Result looks unnatural or blurry

Why: The AI may need more specific guidance about the look you want.

Try: Add a smooth blue to purple gradient background, ensure natural lighting and sharp details that match the rest of the photo
Try This →

Tip: Adding 'natural' and 'realistic' to your prompt helps the AI prioritize believability.

Subject's hair edges look rough against new background

Why: Fine hair strands are the hardest element for AI to separate from the original background.

Try: Regenerate with 'pay special attention to hair edges for a smooth, natural transition'
Try This →

Tip: For best edge quality, use photos where the subject contrasts with the background.

New background has wrong perspective or scale

Why: The background scene was shot from a different angle or distance than the subject.

Try: Add 'match the camera angle and perspective of the subject' to your background description
Try This →

Tip: Describe the background's perspective: 'eye-level outdoor scene' or 'shot from slightly above.'

Color temperature clash between subject and background

Why: The subject was lit with warm indoor light but placed on a cool outdoor background (or vice versa).

Try: Add 'match the color temperature and lighting warmth between subject and background'
Try This →

Tip: Mention the lighting mood you want: 'warm golden hour lighting on everything' unifies the look.
