How it works

Upload your photo

Drop your image into EditThisPic. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB. Any photo works—the AI separates your subject from any background, whether it's a messy room, outdoor scene, or studio.

Expect: Simple background swap: 20-25 seconds. Complex scenes with hair detail or multiple subjects: 25-35 seconds.
Describe the new background

Type what you want: 'replace the background with a clean white studio backdrop' or 'change the background to a sunny park with green trees.' Be specific about colors, lighting, and setting. The AI understands 'background' automatically—no cutting or selection needed.

Tip: Match lighting direction: if light comes from the left in your photo, mention 'with sunlight from the left' for realistic compositing.

Copy one of these to get started:

Professional headshot background replace the background with a smooth professional grey gradient studio backdrop with soft lighting

Try This →

Solid brand color change the background to a solid bright coral pink, flat and even with no gradient or texture
Try This →

Home office or interior replace the background with a modern minimalist home office, clean desk, plant, and bookshelf, naturally lit
Try This →
Review the result

Check that the subject blends naturally with the new background. Verify edges around hair and shoulders look clean. Make sure lighting and color temperature match between subject and background.
Refine with markers if needed

If edges need cleaning or the AI left some old background visible, tap markers on those spots and regenerate. Most background changes look seamless on the first try.

Tip: Markers are for precision refinement only. Try without them first—you usually won't need them.

"I shoot headshots for LinkedIn profiles. Clients always want different backgrounds. Instead of green screen setups, I just shoot against any wall and type 'replace background with professional grey gradient.' Saves me hours in post." @HeadshotPro_Alex

If something looks off

AI changed the wrong area or something I didn't want changed

Why: The AI couldn't determine what counts as 'background' versus part of the subject. This happens with complex compositions.

Try: Tap a marker on the specific area you want kept as subject, then regenerate with the same prompt

Try This →

Tip: Markers tell the AI 'I mean THIS area specifically.' Use them when subject/background boundaries are unclear.

Lighting on subject doesn't match the new background

Why: The original lighting direction conflicts with the new scene—like a subject lit from the left placed in a sunset scene with light from the right.

Try: replace the background with [your scene] and match the lighting direction to the subject's existing light source

Try This →

Tip: Observe which side of the face is brighter and mention that: 'with light coming from the left side.'

Edges show fringe or halo from old background

Why: Old background color bleeds into subject edges, especially around hair against bright or colored backgrounds.

Try: replace the background with [your scene] and remove any color fringe or halo around the edges

Try This →

Tip: Adding 'remove color fringe' explicitly targets edge contamination from the previous background.

New background looks obviously fake or composited

Why: Scale, perspective, or blur level mismatches between the subject and generated background make it look pasted.

Try: replace the background with [your scene], match the depth of field and perspective to look like a natural photo

Try This →

Tip: 'Match depth of field' ensures the background blur matches the subject sharpness for a realistic composite.

Subject's hair or fine details are clipped

Why: Wispy hair or thin details at the edges were removed along with the background because they blended together.

Try: change the background to [your scene] and preserve all fine hair strands and wispy details at the edges

Try This →

Tip: 'Preserve wispy details' tells the AI to prioritize keeping hair strands over a perfectly clean edge.
