Change Background of a Photo
Swap any background for a new scene, solid color, or custom environment. Works on portraits, product photos, headshots, and any image where the subject and background are distinct.
Common scenarios
- A professional headshot taken at home that needs a clean office or studio background for LinkedIn
- An e-commerce product photo on a cluttered surface that needs a white or gradient background
- A portrait with a distracting background that needs to become a natural outdoor scene
Best practices
- Name the specific background you want: 'change background to a white studio backdrop' is more precise than 'change the background'
- For outdoor scenes, describe the lighting: 'change background to a golden-hour beach with warm light from the left' helps the AI match light direction
- For solid colors, specify the exact shade: 'change background to a pale grey (#f0f0f0)' or 'soft white'
- If the subject has complex edges like hair or fur, add 'blend the edges naturally' to improve the transition
