Change Photo Background: Add a New Colour, Gradient or Photo, Free

Put yourself, your pet or your product on a new background. The subject is cut out automatically, then placed on a colour, a soft gradient or any photo you choose. Hair and edges blend into the new background without a halo of the old one. Your photo stays on your device.

Your images never leave your device. No sign-up, no watermark.

How to change a photo background

  1. Add a photo and wait a moment while the subject is cut out.
  2. Pick a colour swatch or any colour you like. For something softer, choose Gradient.
  3. To use a scene of your own, choose Your photo and add the background picture. It’s scaled to fill the frame.
  4. Fix any spots with Touch up, then download.

Popular backgrounds

  • Blue or light grey: common for profile pictures, CVs and office ID cards.
  • Studio gradient: a clean, professional look for headshots and team pages.
  • Brand colour: type your exact colour in the picker so product shots match your shop or social feed.

Questions

Can I make a passport photo background white or blue?

Yes, pick white or blue here. For a photo cropped to the exact passport or visa size of your country, use the Passport Photo Maker afterwards.

The edges look rough. What can I do?

Move the Edges slider towards Tighter to remove a thin outline of the old background, or towards Looser if hair is cut off. For bigger mistakes, brush over them with Touch up.

Is my photo uploaded?

No. Both the cut-out and the new background are made in your browser, and nothing is sent to a server.
