Photo Background Change

Half of every background change is really a color decision. A portrait shot in a cluttered kitchen reads as a studio portrait the moment the wall behind it turns warm gray. A product photo on a scratched table stops looking like a snapshot once the surface under it becomes sand or stone.

The studio color library exists for that job: twelve flat tones, from soft white and paper through warm sand, stone and cool gray, down to graphite, ink, blush, sage, sky, navy and clay. Flat matters. A photograph brings its own light direction and its own white balance, and those rarely agree with the light on your subject — which is why a photo dropped behind a cutout so often looks pasted on. A flat tone has no direction to disagree with, so it takes the light the photo already has. Pick one, then open Light & color and nudge its warmth or hue until the two layers sit together.

If you need an exact brand color, export a flat tile from any design tool, upload it as the background, and the background change is finished in one step. The subject is never reprocessed, so you can swap that color a dozen times and the cutout stays as sharp as the first pass.

Nothing to install. A background change here runs in the tab you already have open: the cutout is a single request to a cloud model, and everything after it — position, crop, color, export — happens on your own machine, which is why the background changer feels instant even on a laptop with no graphics card.

It also travels. Start a background change on a laptop, finish it on a phone at the venue: same page, same file, and the layout folds down to fit instead of hiding half the controls.

Because the compositing runs locally, what the tab shows at 100% is what the file contains — no second compression on a server, no resize that softens the hair you just cut out. That is the difference between a background change that survives a zoom and one that only looks right in the preview.

Every editing control is free and unmetered: move, resize, rotate, flip, crop, change the aspect ratio, adjust light and color. No watermark, no export cap, no upgrade button waiting at the end of the flow.

What is metered is the cutout, because each one is a paid model call: a free account includes five, delivered at the photo's own resolution. Five is the whole trial. The file you download is the finished image — no smaller version held back, nothing stamped on it.

An account is what makes the count possible: five per person rather than five per browser, and a balance you can top up when a batch is bigger than that. Drop in a photo, run the cutout, download the result and look at the edges: hair, hands, the gap under a handle.
