Frequently asked questions.
How do I customize my image’s background after I remove it?
After removing the background from your image, you can easily change or customize the background by selecting Add new background. You’ll then be directed to the full Adobe Express editor where you can quickly and easily do specific edits like adding filter effects, contrast, and so much more to it. You can also create a new background from scratch, add text, and so much more to your image. The possibilities are endless with Adobe Express.
What’s the difference between removing a background vs. changing a background?
With the remove background feature, the background of your image is completely eliminated, leaving a transparent or clear backdrop. On the other hand, the change background feature allows you to replace the original background with options like patterned wallpapers, your brand colors, or other creative designs to make your images even more striking.
Why should I change my photo’s background?
Changing your photo’s background opens a world of opportunities to repurpose it as shareable content or to freshen up its overall look. Maybe the background is bland or blurry, but your subject is in focus. Replacing the background allows you to seamlessly add a high-quality backdrop to highlight your subject. Incorporating your brand colors into the background can also enhance brand recognition when sharing the image on social media.
Can I use my own background?
Absolutely. If you’re looking to swap in a specific background you already have, you can definitely do that. After you’ve removed the background from your original image, simply upload your new one in the full Adobe Express editor.
