About Background Changer
The Background Changer removes an existing background from a photo or replaces it with something new. Online sellers, designers, and content creators use it to isolate products, swap scenery, or create transparent PNG graphics. Upload an image with a clear subject, choose automatic detection or the manual selection tools, and refine the edges with include and exclude brushes if needed. You can then set a solid color, a gradient, transparency, or your own replacement background image. The processed result downloads as a PNG with transparency or as a JPG. Every step happens on your device, so personal photos are never uploaded anywhere.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are my photos uploaded when I change a background?
No. Detection, brushing, and compositing all run in your browser. The image is loaded from your device and the result downloads locally, so nothing is sent to a server.
Which output format keeps the transparent background?
Export as PNG, which supports transparency. JPG fills transparent areas with a solid color, so use PNG whenever you need the background to remain see-through.
Does the Background Changer cost anything?
It is free to use with no signup and no watermark added to your images. Process as many photos as you need.
