If you are on the Pro or Business plan, can use Batch Mode to:

  • Generate similar AI Backgrounds for many images* at once

  • Apply realistic AI Shadows to many images* at once.

* 50 images on the Pro plan, 500 images on the Business. This is subject to change.

With AI Backgrounds and AI Shadows, the AI creates an effect that is designed especially for the individual photo. This means that:

  • Each design has a unique background and shadow, created especially for that image.

  • You cannot give multiple designs the same AI background.
    Instead, you can create similar backgrounds that look like part of the same photo set.

  • You can generate more backgrounds to meet your requirements.
    AI Backgrounds and AI Shadows give you more possibilities than the regular templates.

For instructions, see the On Web App section later in this article.

Note: At the moment, using AI Backgrounds and AI Shadows with Batch Mode is only available on the Web App (desktop version). We are working on a mobile version and are currently gathering user feedback. Stay tuned!


On Web App

On the Web App version of Photoroom, you can apply AI Backgrounds and AI Shadows to a batch of images.

Apply AI Backgrounds to a batch of images

To apply AI Backgrounds to multiple images at once:

  1. Log in to the Web App version of Photoroom at: app.photoroom.com.

  2. Make sure you are in the appropriate workspace. Choose your Personal workspace or a Team workspace.

  3. Select Batch.

  4. Upload up to 50 images and wait for Photoroom to remove the backgrounds.

  5. Select Size and choose the size of the image.

  6. Select Position and choose the position of the foreground object. If you choose Centered, you can also use the slider to apply padding. Padding is the amount of space between the edge of the design and the edge of the foreground content.

  7. Select AI Backgrounds.

  8. Create the background you want.
    Either:

    1. Choose a background from the list of suggestions.

    2. Search for a background

    3. Select Create a background.
      Use the Image tab to use an image as inspiration for the background. Alternatively, use the Assisted tab or Manual tab to create a text description (prompt). If you have not used these before, see Create your own AI backgrounds for details.

  9. [Optional] Select an individual image and use its settings to edit it. To learn about the editing settings, see Introduction to editing.

  10. Select Download your images. The batch of images downloads as a .zip file in your browser.

    Note: The images are not stored as designs in your Photoroom workspace (unless you edited them). If you want them in your workspace, import them individually as new designs (see Create your first design).

FAQs

Here are some answers to the most frequently asked questions about using AI Backgrounds and AI Shadows in Batch Mode.

How is Batch and AI Backgrounds different to Batch and Templates?

AI Backgrounds give you more possibilities. They allow you to customize your designs in ways that are not possible with templates.

  • AI features are customizable. You can create prompts for almost anything!

  • Regular templates have a limited set of options for customizing your designs.

Is this feature available on iPhone or Android?

Not yet. It is currently only available on the Web App. But we are gathering user feedback on the web version and are planing a mobile version.

We need your feedback! Sign up for a quick call and tell us what you thought of the Web App version. This will help us to produce a mobile version. To sign up, use this link:

Does the "pencil" work with Batch Mode?

Yes. Use the "pencil" to edit the prompts and create custom AI backgrounds and AI shadows.

Can I get the exact same AI Background on all my batch images?

No, your photos will have very similar look and feel, but the backgrounds will not be identical. This is because the AI analyses each individual image and then generates the background or shadow to match the lighting and subject. It cannot replicate the exact same background on multiple images.

Why do I get weird image results such as distortions and inconsistent results?

AI-generated images are not perfect yet, but our team is working on improving the algorithm so you will have more consistency and higher quality in the future. You may have to browse through several options before finding the desired outcome.

How many batch images can I generate?

50 images on the Pro plan and 500 images on the Business plan. This is subject to change.

Can I use the Batch Mode AI features on a free plan?

No. The features are only available on the Pro and Business plans.

Can I edit each individual image?

Yes. You can apply AI Backgrounds or AI Shadows to a batch of images and then edit the images individually.

Do I have to pay extra for this feature?

No, it is already included in the Pro and Business plan.

How long does it take to generate a batch with AI Backgrounds or AI Shadows?

It takes the same time as a regular batch. It should be seconds but depends also on how many images you have.
