How do I change the background color of a photo?

Upload the photo on this page. The background is removed and the editor opens on the Color tab; pick a color and download a JPG or PNG.

Is PixRemove’s background color changer free?

Your first 2 photos are free, no sign-up needed. After that, a free account gives you 10 credits, and each photo uses 1 credit. See pricing for packs and plans.

Can I use my own brand color as the background?

Yes. Besides the 21 preset colors, the color picker lets you choose any shade, so you can match your brand color.

Can I change the background color of many photos at once?

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

Will hair and fur look natural on a bright background color?

Hair and fur keep their soft edges. On very bright colors, a few loose strands can still show a trace of the old background; touch them up with the erase brush, or pick a softer shade.

What file do I get after changing the background color?

A JPG or PNG of the edited photo, up to 16 MP. If you want the subject with no background at all, download the transparent cut-out at the size you uploaded, up to 30 MP.
