What image formats can I use as backgrounds?

You can upload JPG, PNG, and WebP images as custom backgrounds. The image is automatically scaled to fit the canvas dimensions.

Will the background image be cropped or stretched?

The background image is auto-fitted to cover the canvas area. It scales proportionally to avoid distortion while filling the entire background.

Can I reposition the background image?

The background auto-fits to the canvas. For precise positioning, crop or resize your background image before uploading it.

Does the subject blend naturally with the new background?

The AI creates clean edges around your subject. For the most natural results, choose backgrounds with similar lighting and perspective. Use Magic Click for any edge refinements.

Can I use stock photos as backgrounds?

Yes, you can use any image you have rights to. Free stock photo sites like Unsplash and Pexels provide great high-resolution backgrounds.

Is there a size limit for background images?

There is no strict size limit. Very large images will be scaled down to fit the canvas. For best performance, use images similar in resolution to your subject photo.
