Background Change
Use Background Change to prepare clean studio shots, set branded scenes, or adapt visuals for campaigns.
What is Background Change?
Background Change lets you replace an image’s background while keeping the subject intact. It automatically adjusts lighting, shadows, and colors so the subject blends naturally into the new environment for a realistic final image.
How to Use It
Open an Image in Edit
In Gallery, click the Edit icon on a generated image, or upload a new image in Edit.
Add a Background Prompt
In the main text field, describe the scene, lighting, or style you want. Examples:
- Seamless white background, soft lighting
- Modern boutique interior, neutral tones
- Sunny beach, strong sunlight from above
Review and Adjust
If needed, refine the prompt or pick a simpler scene, then re‑run.
Prepare for Export or Continue Editing
- Download, upscale, or use Export for Web in Gallery
- Adjust aspect ratio for different platforms with Reframe
- Create motion with Image to Video
Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Image | The image you want to edit, opened from Gallery or uploaded in Edit. |
| Change Background Toggle | Toggle to enable or disable the optimized background change tool in Edit. |
| Background prompt | Text describing the new background scene, lighting, or style. |
| Number of images | Generate 1–4 variations in a single run. Each variation is stored as a separate history entry that can be reused as a source image for further edits. |
| Resolution | Supported: Precise 1K (default) and Balanced 4K (Pro/Agency). See Parameter Deep Dives: Resolution for behavior and tradeoffs. |
Best Practices
- Even though it's possible to also change other aspects of the image (e.g. pose) while changing the background, it's recommended to focus just on the background change for best results. Pose can be changed later with the toggle turned off.
Troubleshooting
If the result doesn’t look quite right, try these quick fixes:
- Lighting mismatch (the subject doesn’t match the new background) → Add more detail in your text prompt about the lighting direction and intensity. For example: “Bright sunlight from above creates soft shadows under the chin and nose.”
