Does replacing the background upload my photo?

Yes. The AI scene swap on this page sends the image on the layer you picked to the cloud; the button carries a cloud icon you can see before tapping. If all you want is a flat colour or a photo you already have, the local cutout path is enough — that one runs in the browser, your image never leaves the device, and it needs no account.

Why does it need a sign-in?

Painting a new background takes a large model, which doesn't fit in a browser, so that step lives in the cloud. Quota is managed centrally by TutuAgent; this site sets no usage limit of its own. The editor itself — plus cutout, compression, filters and PSD read/write — needs no account and works offline.

Can it cope with fine hair around the subject?

Better than cut-and-paste, because it repaints the background with the subject understood, so the transition is painted rather than clipped. Extreme cases — backlit flyaway hair, reflections through glass — can still show artefacts. Since it returns as a separate layer, you can fix that patch yourself with a mask and a brush.

Can I use a background image of my own?

Yes, and that path needs no cloud at all: open both images, remove the original background with cutout, and place your own image on the layer underneath. Position, scale and brightness are all yours to adjust. This one happens entirely on your device.

AI Background Replace

Not a cut-out pasted on top — it repaints the background to follow the subject's light and edges

or start a blank document

"Replacing the background" covers two different jobs. One is swapping in a flat colour or a photo you already have: cut out the subject, lay something new underneath. That happens entirely inside your browser — no account, no limit, and not a byte of your image leaves the machine. The other is a scene that doesn't exist yet ("a beach at dusk", "a plain grey studio"), which needs a model to read the subject's lighting and edge detail and paint a fresh background. That one runs in the cloud.

This page is about the second job. It sends the image on the layer you picked to the cloud and requires signing in; the button carries a cloud icon, visible before you tap it. What comes back is still a separate layer — you can move it, resize it, drop its opacity, or just undo.

Key features

Edges follow the subject instead of being pasted

Stray hair, soft fur and sheer fabric are where cut-outs give themselves away. Because it repaints the background rather than clipping the subject out, you don't get that familiar white halo along the transition.

It comes back as a layer

Background on one layer, subject on another. Don't like it? Replace just the background layer — the subject doesn't move. You can also nudge each one separately, or dial the new background's opacity down so it recedes.

Describe the scene in plain words

"A beach at dusk", "a plain grey studio with light from the left" — direction, time of day and colour all work. Not right? Say what to change; it edits the existing image instead of starting over.

If you only need a plain colour, there's a path that uploads nothing

ID photos on white/blue/red, product shots on pure white — local cutout handles those, with nothing leaving your device and no sign-in. That path lives on the ID-photo and background-remover pages.

How to use

1
Drop the photo in

Anywhere on the page catches it. You can also click to pick a file, or just press Ctrl+V to paste a screenshot.
2
Pick the layer to work on

The panel labels each layer L1/L2/L3. Usually there's only one, so you can go straight on.
3
Describe the background you want

In the AI panel, spell out the scene, the light direction and the colour. This step sends that layer's image to the cloud — the button shows a cloud icon.
4
Adjust and export

The new background arrives as its own layer: move it, scale it, lower its opacity. Then export PNG / JPG / WebP / PSD, with no watermark.
