How can you change the background of a picture?
Step 1
Start with uploading a photo
First, upload your chosen photo. You will then be redirected into the WebApp editor where you have the possibility to choose between different new and modern backgrounds.
Step 2
Change the background
You can either use one of our background templates or you can also upload your own background. Just click on "drag or drop your image" and use one of your creations as the background.
In this way you are flexible and you can try out different backgrounds and find the one that fits the best.
Step 3
Use all editing option
You can use more photo editing features to for example resize the image, add text or to add any additional image such as an icon or logo to make the image more unique.
The importance of a background
The power of a background lies in its ability to add context, depth, and interest to an image, making it more engaging. By customizing the background, you can improve your photo’s message, align it with your brand, and create a more dynamic visual that resonates with your audience.
Make your product pop out
An effective product picture showcases the item prominently with a clean and uncluttered background that complements the product, allowing it to stand out and capture the viewer's attention effectively. The background should be carefully chosen to create a visually appealing composition that enhances the overall presentation of the product.
Stressfree editing
If you are looking for a more clean background, you can also change the background to any monochromatic color. By adding for example a simple white background to your item and it is moved directly into the foreground. With the AI Shadows tool, you are also able to add a realistc shadow to the product without any prior photoediting experience
