Free tool

Change the background of a photo.

Put a person, a pet or a product in front of a new background: a gradient, a plain colour, a soft blur of the original, or a picture of your own. AI finds the subject and keeps the hair and edges; it runs in this tab, so your photo is never uploaded. Full size, no sign-up, no watermark.

This runs in your browser. Your pictures are never uploaded.

How it works

Three steps, nothing to install.

01 / Drop

A portrait, a pet, a product shot. The subject is found by itself.

02 / Pick

Pick a background

A gradient, a colour, a blur, or upload a picture to go behind.

03 / Save

Compare and download

Drag across the photo to compare, then save it at full size.

Questions

Good to know.

How do I put my own picture behind the subject?

Pick "Your own picture" under New background and choose the picture. It is scaled to cover the whole photo and centred. Pick another to try a different one.

Is my photo uploaded?

No. The AI model that finds the subject, ormbg (Apache 2.0 licence), is served from this site and runs in this tab, 44 to 88 MB the first time. The photo never leaves your computer.

Does it keep hair?

Mostly. Set Edges to "Soft, keeps hair and glass" for fine hair, fur or see-through things; "Sharp" suits products with hard outlines.

Which file do I get?

A JPG at the photo's own size, up to 16.7 million pixels. For a see-through PNG with no background at all, use remove background.

Will the light match the new background?

No, the subject keeps its own light and colours. Pick a background with similar light (a warm gradient for a sunny portrait, a dark one for an evening shot) and it looks more natural.
