Change photo background

AI Background Changer

Upload a photo, say where you want to be, and Seedream 5.5 replaces the background while keeping the person or product as it is. The light and shadows are redrawn to match, so there are no cut-out edges.

Compared with

How it compares with other ways to change a background

Background removers: A remover cuts the subject out and leaves you to place it yourself, so hair edges and shadows often look pasted on. Here the whole image is redrawn with matching light and shadows.
Editing by hand: Masking, matching colour and painting shadows in an editor takes time and practice. Here you describe the new place in one sentence.
Reshooting: Going back to a location or a studio gives the most control, but costs a day. Try the background here first and reshoot only if you need to.

Tips

Get a better result on the first try

Start with "keep the person exactly as they are" so the subject does not change.
Describe the light ("golden hour", "soft window light") so the subject blends into the new scene.
For products, ask for "a realistic shadow under the product".

FAQ

Questions people ask

Is this different from a background remover?

Yes. Instead of cutting the subject out, it redraws the whole image with a new background and matching light, so the result looks like a real photo.

Can I get a plain white background?

Yes. Ask for "a pure white background, soft studio light"; it works well for profile photos and product listings.

Is it free?

Google sign-up gives you free trial credits. After that, each 1K image costs 10 credits and each 2K image 16.

Will it change the person or product?

Say "keep the person exactly as they are" or "keep the product exactly as it is". Small details can still shift, so check faces and labels before you publish.

Can I use my own background photo?

Yes. Upload your photo and the background photo as two reference images, then write "put the person from the first image into the scene from the second image".
