Swap any background in seconds.

Four ways to change a background

• None (transparent): a clean cutout for logos, stickers, slides and design work. Export as PNG or WebP to keep the transparency.
• Colour: pure white for marketplace product shots, or any brand colour for profile pictures and thumbnails.
• Blur: keep the real scene but soften it, so the subject pops.
• Image: place the subject on a photo of your choice — that image stays on your device too.

An edge softness slider helps the cutout sit naturally on its new background.

How it works

The editor uses an open segmentation model (ISNet, via the @imgly/background-removal library) to predict which pixels belong to the main subject. The model downloads to your browser on first use (about 40–80 MB, then cached) and runs locally. The editor then refines the mask — keeping fine hair semi-transparent while snapping solid areas fully opaque — before compositing the new background.

Getting a clean cutout

• Choose photos with clear contrast between subject and background.
• Fine hair, glass and see-through fabric are the hardest parts for any model — soften the edge slightly, or use the dedicated Background Remover, which has erase and restore brushes for touch-ups.
• For marketplaces, read our white-background product photo guide for size and framing rules.
