How to remove a background with AI: Step-by-step tutorial
Step 1: Open ImageEdit and upload your photo
Start by launching ImageEdit and importing your image. You can drag and drop files directly or use the Upload button in the toolbar. ImageEdit supports JPEG and PNG formats.
Remember: clean inputs produce better outputs. For example, a high-resolution photo featuring subjects with clear, defined edges gives the AI more data to accurately detect edges.
Tip: You can also edit a stock photo from our library, a generated image or illustration.
Step 2: Choose the AI background remover option
Once uploaded, click Remove Background from the sidebar. The AI analyzes the subject and separates it from the background in seconds.
Why it’s better than removing a background in Photoshop: traditional methods require tracing every edge. AI saves time by recognizing patterns like skin, fabric, or product shapes. This makes ImageEdit background removal one of the fastest workflows for designers and photographers. Here’s the result:
Step 3: Swap backgrounds (solid, gradient, or custom image)
Now comes the creative part. Click on Generate Similar to replace the removed background with:
- Solid colors for e-commerce product pages.
- Gradients for modern, stylish portfolios.
- Custom images (like lifestyle settings) for marketing campaigns, social media posts, and more.
Tip: add a clear description of what you want in the prompt box to get the best results.
Step 4: Choose between the generated options
Once you click on Generate, you’ll get five different options. Keep in mind the following points to choose the best one:
- Does the subject look natural against the new background?
- Are shadows realistic or too sharp?
- Is color correction uniform across all photos in the set?
Why previewing matters: Inconsistent photos break visual harmony and can reduce trust on product pages.
The Generate Similar feature will provide different options based on your first uploaded image. Here, the hand is holding a different orange, and the final composition looks more realistic. You can click the Keep button to select the best image for you.
Step 5: Download the new image
When satisfied with the result, click Download, and you’ll automatically receive a high-quality JPG file.
Pro tips for faster workflows
