About Background Changer
The hard part of a background swap is not the cutout, it is that the subject and the new scene disagree about where the light comes from — that mismatch is what reads as fake. This pipeline relights the subject for the new background before compositing and adds a contact shadow.
Default pipeline
This is not the general generator with a new title — it has its own chain and output spec:
- Upload the image
- Cut out the subject
- Generate the new background
- Relight for the new scene
- Composite and export
How to Use Background Changer
- Upload the image.
- Describe the new background, e.g. "a warm wooden café interior".
- Leave Match Lighting on.
- Pick a shadow type and generate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the composite look pasted?+
That happens with Match Lighting off. With it on, the model recomputes the subject’s lighting from the new scene.
Can I just get a white background?+
You can, but for plain white use the Background Remover — it is faster and cheaper.
Image handling and privacy
This is an AI tool: images you upload are sent to the selected model provider for processing, not handled locally in the browser. Each model page states that provider's retention policy, and you can delete any generation from your history at any time.
