Use a template to apply an AI background to many designs

Learn how to use a template to reuse an AI background on many different designs

One way to reuse an AI Background on many designs is to make a template that has the AI Background. You can then upload your photos, let Photoroom remove their background, and then choose to apply your template.

3 images of different colored sports shoes. Each shoe is on a cloud with a blue sky in the background. The backgrounds are similar but not identical.

Be aware that using a template with an AI background creates designs that have similar, but not identical, AI backgrounds. The AI fine-tunes the background to suit each foreground object in each image, considering the lighting, color scheme, and more. So you get a series of images that look like part of the same photoshoot, but are each slightly different.

To create and apply a template with an AI Background:

  1. Create a design that has an AI Background. If you already have one, you can skip this step.

    For instructions, see:
    ​

  2. Create a template:

    1. Turn a design with an AI Background into a template

    2. Edit the template and make the foreground object replaceable.

    3. Save the template.

      ​

  3. Start a new photo import and allow Photoroom to remove the background.
    ​
    If you are using the iOS or Android version of Photoroom, do not select Skip background removal.
    ​

  4. Apply the template you created:
    ​

    • On iOS, select the custom template from the list

    • On Android, select the custom template from the list

    • On the Web App, select Templates and then select your custom template.
      ​

  5. [Optional] Use the editor to make any further changes, such as add text or graphics.
    ​
    ​Tip: For some AI Backgrounds, you may want to customise the prompt so that it more closely matches the original AI Background from the template.
    ​

  6. Export or Download your design and exit the editor to save it.

  7. Repeat steps 3-6 inclusive for each photo that you want to have the AI Background.

Tip: If you have a high number of images that need to use a similar AI background, consider creating a template and then using the Batch feature to apply it. For instructions, see Apply a template to multiple images.
