Three kinds of new background

  • Blurred original: the old background stays but goes soft, as if shot with a wide aperture. Works well for portraits and products.
  • Colour: any solid colour, such as your brand colour.
  • Your own image: load a picture and it fills the frame behind the cut-out subject.

Your image is never uploaded: the cut-out model downloads once and then runs in your browser. No sign-up, and no watermark on the result.

Making the montage believable

A swapped background looks real when the light matches: if the new scene is sunny, don't use a subject shot in the shade. Remove colour fringe removes the old background colour from hair and edges, and a drop shadow stops the subject from floating in front of the scene. On hair, use the Hair & edges brush if the outline came out too sharp.

Frequently asked questions

Do you upload my photo anywhere?

No. The cut-out model is downloaded into your browser and your own device processes the image. The photo never leaves it.

Is there a watermark or a lower resolution?

No. The download has the same resolution as your original photo, with no watermark.

Which background images can I use?

Any image your browser can open (JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC and so on). Only use someone else's photo if you have the right to.
