How do I change the background of a photo?

Upload the photo on this page. The background is removed and a new one is already in place; pick a different one on the Photo tab and download.

Is PixRemove’s background changer free?

Your first 2 photos are free, no sign-up needed, with a built-in or your own background. After that, each photo uses 1 credit, and a free account gives you 10. AI scenes need an account and use 4 credits each. See pricing.

Can I use my own picture as the new background?

Yes. On the Photo tab, tap + and choose any JPG, PNG or WebP from your device; it goes behind your subject.

Can AI create a new background for my photo?

Yes. On the AI scene tab, describe a place, mood or material and AI builds the background around your subject. You need to sign in, and each AI scene uses 4 credits.

How do I make the subject look natural on the new background?

Pick a background whose light and camera angle are close to your photo, and turn on a soft shadow under Effects so the subject does not float.

Can I change the background of many photos at once?

Yes. Add up to 50 photos; each one opens with the same background, and you can download them all in one ZIP.

Shadow

Add a shadow so the subject sits in the scene
