Remove a photo background with one press

Remove the background from a product photo with one press; the item stays exactly as it is. Or change the background to a new scene. On your phone, no app.

Remove the background

How do I remove a photo background, on my phone, without an app?

Add the product photo with the picture button beside the chat box, then press "Remove the background". Within seconds the photo comes back in the chat with the background gone and the item exactly as you shot it. For a new scene behind it, write the scene in the box and press "Put a new scene behind it". Both are free, within the day's pictures.

Three steps to remove a background

  1. Add the photo in the chat: Press the picture button beside the chat box and pick the photo from your gallery. Once it is added, two new buttons appear beside the box.
  2. Press "Remove the background": This button only clears the background. For a new scene, write the scene in the box first, then press "Put a new scene behind it".
  3. Download it from the chat: The edited photo arrives in the chat within seconds. Download it and use it in your catalogue, page or site.

A messy background on a product photo costs sales

Most people who sell online shoot their photos at home: a bedsheet, a stained wall, a bucket in the corner. The item is good, but the customer's eye catches on what is behind it, and the page looks less professional.

Background remover apps either want money, stamp a watermark, or make you cut the item out with a finger. Here one button is enough, nothing to install, and not a single thread of the item changes.

Removing and changing a background: two different jobs

How to get a white background, and where it helps

Press "Remove the background" and the messy room goes, leaving the item on a clean ground; that is how white-background catalogue photos are made. Put such photos side by side on a white website, a Daraz or Facebook shop, or a price list, and the whole shop looks consistent and tidy.

The edited photo comes out with its long side within 1,024 pixels. That is plenty for Facebook, WhatsApp and a site, but small for printing a big banner. If the photo ever shows a see-through ground somewhere, place it on a white poster or page.

Shoot it this way and the background comes off cleanly

"Edit my photo": what is not done here

On your own photo, two jobs are done here: removing the background and putting a new scene behind it. Brightening or beautifying a face, removing spots, fixing an old torn photo, making a blurred photo HD, removing someone or adding someone: none of these.

For a passport or office document photo, the background can be removed, but there is no crop to passport size here, and official photos have their own rules. A studio photo is the safe choice; ask the office you are submitting to for its rules.

What to do with the photo once the background is gone

Is background removal free, and how many a day

Both buttons are free and take no Token. Each edit does count against the day's free AI pictures: up to 20 a day, a little fewer on a very busy day. Press more than a few in a minute and you will be asked to wait a minute. Only photos you added yourself can be edited, and your account must be verified.

Questions about background removal

Do I need background removal software or an app?

No. Open the chat in your phone browser, add the photo and press Remove the background. The edited photo arrives in the chat with no watermark.

Does removing the background change the product?

No. With Remove the background the item stays exactly as you shot it; only the background goes. Only Put a new scene behind it can change details, because there the AI redraws the whole picture.

How do I change a photo background?

Add the photo in the chat, write the background you want in the box, like a green garden or Eid decorations, then press Put a new scene behind it. Check the details on sales photos, as patterns can shift a little.

Why can I not see the two buttons?

They appear only in the chat, after a photo is added, not in the builder. Add the photo first with the picture button beside the chat box, then look beside the box.

Can I make a passport photo background white?

The background can be removed, but the photo cannot be cropped to passport size here, and official photos have rules of their own. Have such photos taken at a studio, and ask the office you submit to for its rules.

If I ask it to edit my photo, will it make my face look better?

No: changing a face or body, removing spots, fixing old photos or sharpening blurred ones is not done here. On your own photo, only removing the background and putting a new scene behind it work.

How many backgrounds can I remove in a day?

Within the day's free AI pictures: up to 20 a day, possibly a few fewer on a busy day. For many photos in a row, do a few a minute and the rest the next day.
