How it works

  1. Upload your photo

    Upload your landscape or outdoor photo. Higher resolution captures give the AI more detail to work with for sunset background adjustments. 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 golden hour sunset background with warm orange and pink sky.' 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:

    Golden Hour Add a golden hour sunset background with warm orange sky and soft golden light
    Try This →
    Dramatic Sky Add a dramatic sunset with deep orange, red, and purple clouds across the sky
    Try This →
    Ocean Sunset Add a sunset over the ocean with the sun reflecting on calm water
    Try This →
    Pastel Twilight Add a soft pastel sunset background with pink, lavender, and peach sky
    Try This →

    Desert Sunset Add a desert sunset background with silhouetted cacti and burnt orange sky
    Try This →
    City Sunset Add a city skyline sunset with buildings silhouetted against a warm orange and pink sky
    Try This →

  3. Review the result

    Use the before/after slider to compare results. Check that the sunset 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 sunset 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 sunset background would look in a room or space before committing to a purchase or renovation.

Common Scenarios

  • Visualizing sunset background in a living room, bedroom, or office before buying
  • Creating client mockups that show sunset background in their actual space
  • Comparing different placements of sunset 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 sunset 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 sunset background to create eye-catching content for social media, digital art, or personal projects.

Common Scenarios

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

Best Practices

  • Be specific about the style — 'realistic sunset background' vs. 'illustrated sunset 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 sunset background into marketing materials, presentations, and product catalogs without expensive photo shoots.

Common Scenarios

  • Adding sunset background to product mockups and marketing banners
  • Creating presentation slides that show sunset background in context
  • Building a catalog of variations that feature sunset 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 sunset 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 golden hour sunset background with warm orange and pink sky, 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.
