Frequently Asked Questions

How do you remove the background from a product photo with AI?
Run Remove Background on the photo. It returns a transparent PNG, ready to drop onto a new backdrop or into a layout.
How do you change an image background with AI?
Brief Mel on the new scene, including where the light comes from. A subject lit from one side in a scene lit from the other is the usual giveaway.
How do you generate new backgrounds for product photos with AI?
Upload a clean pack shot and describe the setting, or use the Product Swapper template to place the product into a scene you already have. Run three or four variations and keep the one where the light matches.
How do you blur a photo background with AI?
Use Portrait Mode for a blurred-background look. For a stronger edit, remove the background first and place the subject in a new, softer scene.
How do you remove text or a small object from a photo with AI?
Ask for the image again with an instruction to leave it out. For small fixes, that usually works better than drawing a mask. Use Inpaint or Remove object when the rest of the frame can't change.
