How to add a black background
Upload your photo

Pick the black
Pure, soft, spotlight or studio. It applies to the photos you process next.

When to use a black background
Black makes light, metallic or shiny objects stand out and gives a photo a more sober look than white. If the marketplace asks for a pure white background, use white background; if you only need the cutout, use remove background.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. Adding the black background and downloading the plain backgrounds is free and needs no account.
No. The background removal model downloads the first time and runs in your browser, so the photo never leaves your device. That is why the first photo takes a little longer.
Pure black is #000000. Soft black is #121212, a slightly lighter black that looks less harsh on screen and keeps shadows easier to read.
Ones with a clear subject separated from its surroundings. Watch out for dark hair or black products: on black the outline gets lost, and the spotlight or studio backgrounds usually work better.
Pick another background and add the photo again: each run uses whichever background is selected at that moment.
