Add a red background to a photo

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

A red background is pure impact: it grabs attention, raises the image's temperature and shouts "look at this". It's the color of promotions, sales, sports and social posts that need to stand out. This tool removes the original background and replaces it with the red you choose, free, and your photo never leaves the browser.

When red works

The detail: don't let red "bleed"

Red is a dominant color and, especially with warm-toned subjects (skin, orange or red clothing), it can compete with the subject rather than highlight it. Two tricks:

Which red to use

An intense red like #d12f2f maximizes impact; a modern coral like #e63946 feels friendly and current. For a brand, use its exact red (its HEX). Don't know the code? You can grab it from a reference image with the color palette & HEX tool.

Frequently asked questions

Which red should I use?

An intense red (#d12f2f) for energy; a coral (#e63946) for a modern feel. For a brand, its exact red.

Why does the red overpower the image?

It's very dominant and can bleed toward the subject, especially with warm tones. Lower the intensity or add a neutral border.
