About Background Change

Who makes Background Change and why the product focuses on preserving the subject while replacing the background.

Last updated: 2026-10-29

A small studio for better photos

Background Change is a focused web tool for replacing the background of a photo without touching the subject. We built it around one belief: most people do not need a full photo editor. They need one photo to look like it was taken somewhere else.

The workflow reflects that. Upload one image, choose a scene from the library, pick a quality tier, and download the result. There is no canvas, no layer stack, and no subscription required to try the studio.

What we optimise for

  • Subject integrity — every request sends a fixed subject-lock instruction, so faces, product labels, fur patterns, and clothing stay recognisable.
  • Honest pricing — the credit cost is on the generate button before you submit, and failed renders return their credits automatically.
  • Private results — generated images live in your library, not in a public feed, and downloads are watermark free.
  • Clear limits — AI generation is probabilistic. We tell you where it works well and where a different tool is a better fit.

How it is built

The studio uses Google's Nano Banana and Nano Banana Pro image models through Replicate. Accounts, credits, payments, and the library run on a TanStack Start application deployed to Cloudflare Workers, with D1 for records and R2 for generated images.

Our principles

  • Upload only photos you have the right to use.
  • Ask before publishing someone else's likeness.
  • Review the edges, labels, and shadows before you ship an image.
  • Treat every result as an AI edit, not a recording.

Read our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service for processing, credits, and user responsibilities.

Where to go next

  • Open the studio to run a first background change — 50 free previews a month, no card required.
  • See pricing for credit packs, resolution tiers, and what commercial use includes.
  • Read the field notes for the workflow guides behind the tool.
