Can I Do It Myself?

Changing the background of a product photo

You can do it yourselfDone with ready-made tools, no technical knowledge needed.

Remove the background from a product photo taken with your phone and replace it with a clean backdrop or a scene. The most common task for marketplace and social media images.

Estimated time: About 30 minutes the first time (for a first-timer, an estimate)

Steps

  1. 1

    Take a sharp photo

    Shoot in daylight with the product filling the frame. Removing the background is harder on blurry or shadowy photos.

  2. 2

    Remove the background

    Upload the photo to Canva, Photoroom or Picsart and use the background remover. Check the edges for leftover bits.

  3. 3

    Pick the new backdrop

    If the marketplace requires a white background, use plain white; for social media, choose a simple scene. Keep the product's shadow realistic.

  4. 4

    Compare with the real product

    Check that color and proportions match the real product; customers should get what they see.

  5. 5

    Check usage rights

    Make sure your plan allows commercial use; some free plans don't.

Risks and things to watch

Photoroom's free account is for personal, non-commercial use only; store images need a plan that allows commercial use. An AI-generated scene must not show the product differently from reality (color, size).
