PhotoCut Studio

Change the background of a photo

Free tool · No sign-up · Your image is never uploaded

Changing a background is two steps: separate the subject from the background it already has and put another one behind. The first — the cutout — is handled by AI; the second is picking a color or an image. This tool does both, free, and your photo never leaves the browser.

Two ways to change the background

Step by step

  1. Open the photo in the editor.
  2. Use the AI Cutout to separate the subject and refine the edges with the brushes.
  3. In Export, choose Color or Image mode.
  4. If it's an image, tune the opacity and frame with the scale control.
  5. Export as PNG/WebP or JPG.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use another photo as the background, not just a color?

Yes. Image mode lets you upload a second photo behind the subject, with adjustable opacity.

How do I keep it from looking like a cut-and-paste?

Clean the edge zoomed in, match the light, and lower the background image's opacity a bit.

Is my photo uploaded to a server?

No. The original and the background are processed in your browser; neither is uploaded or stored.
