AI Background Changer: Put Your Subject Anywhere
To change a photo's background, open it in Pickshot's AI background changer, describe the new scene (for example "a sunny cafe window seat" or "on a marble tabletop") and press Replace background: people and objects stay as they are and only the background is replaced. Choose Fast (free), Balanced (18 credits) or Best (61 credits); the price is on the button before you run.

What is an AI background changer?
An AI background changer separates the subject of a photo from its surroundings and paints a new setting behind it, aiming for a result that reads as one photo rather than a cut-and-paste. In Pickshot it is the Replace background tool: you write the scene in your own words or tap a suggestion, pick a quality level, and the result is saved as a new version you can compare with the original. If you only need a plain transparent, white or coloured background, Remove background does that for 1 credit.
Why change backgrounds with Pickshot
Describe any scene
Type the place in your own words or tap a suggestion: Plain white studio, Seoul street at night, Cherry blossom path, Beach at sunset or On a marble tabletop.
Subject stays, scene changes
The tool is built to keep people and products as they are; for portraits, keep Keep the face as it is switched on under Advanced settings.
Three quality levels, priced first
Fast (FLUX.2 Klein 4B) is free, Balanced (FLUX Kontext Pro) costs 18 credits and Best (Nano Banana Pro Edit) costs 61, each shown before you run.
Reference photos for the look
Add up to 3 reference images, such as a location or a mood shot, and make 1–4 results per run to compare.
Match the light afterwards
Use Relight to set golden hour, studio or neon light and the direction it comes from, so the subject sits naturally in the new scene.
Plain backgrounds cost less
For a transparent, white or single-colour background, use Remove background instead: 1 credit with the standard engine.

- − Match light, shadows and perspective by hand
- − Edges often need cleaning up after the composite
Pickshot
- ✓ Describe the scene in a sentence or tap a suggestion
- ✓ People and products are kept; only the background changes

- ✓ Relight, upscale or expand in the same editor
