Change Background

Replace the background of an image with a new scene while keeping your subject in place.

1 credit free, 0.5 credit paid, per image

Change Background swaps the background behind your subject for a new scene you describe in words. Upload one image, type the background you want, and generate. It is the fastest way to restage the same product or model in a fresh setting without a new shoot.

Best practices

  • Run Remove Background first on tricky subjects (fine hair, wispy edges, transparent items) so the new scene sits on the cleanest possible cutout.

  • Be specific about the setting, surface, lighting, and mood you want. A detailed prompt gives a more predictable result.

  • Match the lighting direction in your prompt to the light already on your subject so the composite looks natural.

  • Start from a clear, well-lit, high-resolution image with the subject sharply separated from its current background.

Troubleshooting

Generate is greyed out

You need both an uploaded image (wait for the green Ready check) and a background description. Add whichever is missing.

My file will not upload

Only JPG, PNG, and WebP up to 20 MB are accepted. Convert or compress the file and try again.

The edges around my subject look rough

Run Remove Background first, then bring the clean cutout into Change Background for sharper edges.

My export has a watermark
