You can use any of these for the background layer:

Why spend time creating your own backgrounds when Photoroom's AI can do it for you? From photorealism to a variety of artistic styles, it can create the perfect background for your designs.

There are a wide range of ready-made AI backgrounds to choose from or you can use them as inspirations for new backgrounds. Alternatively, use prompts to describe the background you want and watch the AI make it a reality.

A template sets the size of the canvas for your image and may also include pre-prepared graphics and text.

We have a library of templates to choose from, including templates that are the correct size for social media and marketplace sites. There are templates for different events, magazine covers, and much more. Or you can choose to keep the original background of your photo.

Alternatively, you can create your own custom template or use a team template. A team template is a custom template that's shared in a team workspace.

To learn more, see the articles about Templates articles.

When you choose a template, Photoroom applies that template to your image. Your design will then have a minimum of two layers:

Some templates have additional layers for other parts of the template, such as graphics and text.

Each layer has its own settings that you can use to change the appearance of that layer. For example, you could blur a background layer or change its color.

To learn more about viewing and editing layers, see Layers.

Tip: On the Pro plan, you can resize your image. This gives you more control over the canvas of your designs. You can choose different sizes and proportions to those set by a template.
