About changing a photo background
A good photo with a bad background — a messy room, a grey wall, a busy street. This tool keeps the person or object and puts a new background behind it.
Choose a photo. A small AI model finds the person (or the pet, or the product) and cuts it out. Then pick what goes behind it: white, a colour, a gradient, the same photo blurred, or a picture of your own — a beach, an office, a city at night.
You can drag the person to another place and make it bigger or smaller. The file you download is the full size of your photo. Everything happens in your browser — the photo is never uploaded.
Features
- Ten backgrounds — white, transparent, any colour, studio grey, three gradients, night, a blur of your photo, or your own picture
- AI cut-out — the Background Remover's model finds the person or object for you
- Move and size — drag it with the mouse or a finger, pinch or use the Size slider
- Full size — the file has the size of your photo (up to 16 megapixels), or a fixed shape such as 1:1 or 9:16
- Soft shadow — a light shadow under the subject, so it does not look pasted on
- PNG or JPG — PNG keeps a transparent background; JPG makes a smaller file
- Private — the photo stays on your device; nothing is uploaded
The ten backgrounds
| Background | What you get | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| White | Pure white (#FFFFFF) | Shop and product photos, documents |
| Transparent | No background at all (PNG) | Logos, slides, designs |
| Colour | Any colour you pick | Brand colours, team photos |
| Studio grey | A soft grey with light in the middle | Portraits, CV and LinkedIn photos |
| Sky | Light blue from top to bottom | Friendly profile pictures |
| Sunset | Orange, pink and purple | Social media posts |
| Mint | Soft green to turquoise | Fresh, calm product photos |
| Night | Dark blue-grey | Bright subjects, a modern look |
| Blurred photo | Your own background, blurred | A portrait-mode look |
| Your picture | Any photo you choose | A new place: a beach, an office, a city |
For Blurred photo, the person is taken out first and the gap is filled from the colours around it. So there is no blurry glow of the person behind them. Move Blur strength for a light or a strong blur.
Shapes and sizes
Same as the photo keeps the shape and size of your photo, so a 4000 × 3000 photo gives a 4000 × 3000 file. A very large photo is saved at 16 megapixels at most (many phones and browsers cannot handle more).
The other shapes put the subject in the middle, with some space around it. You choose the long side:
| Shape | 1080 px | 1920 px | 2000 px |
|---|---|---|---|
| Square 1:1 | 1080 × 1080 | 1920 × 1920 | 2000 × 2000 |
| Portrait 4:5 | 864 × 1080 | 1536 × 1920 | 1600 × 2000 |
| Story 9:16 | 608 × 1080 | 1080 × 1920 | 1125 × 2000 |
| Wide 16:9 | 1080 × 608 | 1920 × 1080 | 2000 × 1125 |
Space around it sets the empty edge: 8% means the subject keeps 8% of the picture free on each side. A person who is cut off at the bottom of the photo stays on the bottom edge, so they do not float in the air.
Tips for a good result
- One clear subject in front works best: a person, a pet, a car, a product
- Good light and a background that is different from the subject give cleaner edges
- Hair and fur are hard for any small AI model; a plain or blurred new background hides small mistakes better than a busy picture
- Is a hand or the top of the head missing? Open Advanced options and lower the Cut-off
- Is some old background left around the edges? Raise the Cut-off
- Light from the same side looks more real: put a sunny person on a sunny beach, not on a night street
- Turn on Soft shadow for products on white or a plain colour
Privacy
The AI model is downloaded once (about 4.6 MB) and then runs on your device. Your photo and your background picture are never uploaded — they do not leave your browser. There is no account, no watermark and no limit.
Frequently asked questions
How do I change the background of a photo?
Choose the photo. The tool finds the person or object and cuts it out. Then click a background — a colour, a gradient, Blurred photo or Your picture — and click Download.
Can I use my own picture as the new background?
Yes. Click Your picture and choose any photo from your device. It fills the whole picture, and you can drag the person to the right place on it.
Is my photo uploaded to a server?
No. The AI model runs in your browser. The photo stays on your device, and so does the file you download.
Will the file be smaller than my photo?
No. With Same as the photo the file has the same size as your photo (16 megapixels at most). With the other shapes you choose the size, from 1080 to 3000 px on the long side.
Can I get a transparent background?
Yes. Click Transparent and download a PNG. A JPG cannot be see-through, so a JPG gets a white background there.
Why are the edges not perfect?
The tool uses a small, fast AI model that runs on your own device. Most photos look clean, but fine hair, fur or glass can be hard. Try the Cut-off and Edge softness sliders in Advanced options.
