Describe the new scene clearly. Photos with a well-defined subject work best.

How to replace a background

Swap the background for an AI-generated scene in three steps.

1

Upload your image

Add a product shot or portrait whose background you want to change.

2

Describe the new background

Type the scene you want — “a marble kitchen counter”, “a soft studio gradient”, “a beach at sunset”.

3

Generate and download

AI cuts out the subject and places it on the new background, then you download it.

Use it via the API

Swap backgrounds programmatically through our image-editing API.

curl -X POST "https://api.imageeditor.ai/v1/edit-image/" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -F "files=@photo.jpg" \
  -F "terms=Replace the background with a clean studio backdrop"

# Response: {"uuid": "abc123", "domain": "https://imageeditor.ai"}
# Poll for the finished result:
curl -X POST "https://api.imageeditor.ai/v1/results/" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -F "uuid=abc123"

Grab an API key on the developers page, then see the full API docs for every parameter.

Frequently asked questions

How does background replacement work?

The AI separates your subject from its background and generates a new scene behind it that matches your prompt and the lighting.

Is this good for product photos?

Yes — it's ideal for placing products on clean or themed backdrops for stores, ads and catalogs.

Can I just remove the background instead?

Yes. Use the Remove Background tool for a transparent cutout without generating a new scene.

Will the lighting look right?

The model adapts the subject's edges and lighting to the new background so the composite looks natural.

Is background replacement free or premium?

Yes — AI background replacement uses our premium model, so it's available to Pro members and with credits.

What file types work for background replacement?

JPG, PNG and WebP all work; product shots and portraits are the most common inputs for a background swap.

Are my product photos kept private?

Uploaded product and portrait shots are used only for the background swap, never shared, and removed automatically afterwards.
