Remove, change or blur any photo background

A distracting background can sink an otherwise good photo, and fixing it by hand means fiddly masks around hair, fingers and fabric. The tools in this category separate the subject from its surroundings for you and then do one of five different things with what is behind it. The subject itself, whether a person or a product, stays as it was photographed.

Pick the tool by what should happen to the background. If you need it gone, Background Removal gives you a transparent PNG to place in your own design, slide or listing. If you want a new, simple backdrop such as a white studio, an office or a bookshelf, use Background Replacement. If the real location is fine but too busy, AI Bokeh Effect keeps it and blurs it by depth, like a fast portrait lens. Scene Relocation goes further and moves you into an entirely new setting with relit light and shadows, and AI Travel Mode does the same with well-known destinations. A quick rule: the less you change, the more natural the photo looks, so try blur before replacement and replacement before relocation.

Use Background Replacement with the White Studio preset for a finished photo. If you need to place the subject on white inside your own layout, use Background Removal and add the white later.

Yes. AI Bokeh Effect keeps the original scene and blurs it progressively by distance, so the place still reads as real while your subject stands out.
