To upload an image and change its background to an AI-generated one, use the standalone AI Backgrounds tool. It lets you upload an image and then choose or describe the type of background you want. Photoroom then creates the image for you.
In this article, we provide step-by-step instructions for using the standalone AI Backgrounds tool on the Web App. For details about how AI Backgrounds works and the settings that are available, see How to use AI Backgrounds.
Note: AI Backgrounds is also available as an in-editor tool, to use while editing a design (see the workflow articles in Related content at the end).

Steps (Web App)
To create a design that has an AI Background:
Log in at app.photoroom.com.
Select the Space you want to work in.
Select AI Tools.
Select AI Backgrounds.
Upload an image or choose an existing image to use as the Source image.
To learn more about selecting an image, see How to add or choose a source image (iOS).
Photoroom creates 2 images with AI Backgrounds. If you are happy to use one of these images, skip ahead to step 7.
To generate images with different backgrounds:
Use the AI model option to switch to a different model
Select Create a background and then use the AI Background settings to create an image prompt or text prompt. You can also search Unsplash for inspiration images.
Note: AI Backgrounds on the Web App can only use a single prompt. For details, see How the AI Background prompt works.
Select Generate to create a new image.
When you have an image you are happy with, select it.
You can now Download the image or use the editor to make further changes, just like with any other design.
Note: If you move the foreground layer, Photoroom will prompt you to regenerate the background. This is because the background layer also contains the foreground image, so it needs to be redrawn in the new position.
Select Home to exit the editor. Photoroom saves the image as a design in the Space automatically.
Tip: If Photoroom exits the AI Backgrounds tool at any point while you are editing, you can get back to it by selecting Backgrounds and then AI Backgrounds.
