Did you know that you can reuse the exact same AI background on multiple designs? You will need to save an image that has the AI background as a photo first. Then you can use it as a background on another design and Retouch it as needed. You can find detailed instructions below.
In most cases, we recommend that you only reuse the exact same background image if you have photos that were taken from the same angle, in the same environment, under the same lighting conditions.
If you have photos from different angles, it's often better to use similar AI backgrounds rather than identical. This will produce more realistic results, as the AI can change the background based on the lighting and shadows. For details, see the sections about Image prompts in Create your own AI backgrounds.

In this step, you are going to create a photo with an AI background that you will use on multiple designs. If you already have a photo with an AI background, you can skip this step.
On the Create page, select Start from Photo. Upload an image and then select AI Backgrounds. Choose a suggested AI background or use a prompt to create your own. Save your design in Photoroom and also to your camera roll.
To learn more about creating an AI background for a design, see Create your own AI backgrounds.
On the Create page, select Start from Photo. Choose a new photo that you want to use the AI-generated background that you saved.
When your photo has imported and Photoroom has removed its background, choose the Transparent template.
Select Backgrounds.
Select Image and choose the photo with the AI-generated background that you saved to your camera roll.
Select the background and then select Retouch.
Use the Retouch feature to Erase the foreground objects from the background. You may need to draw over them several times to get them to completely disappear. Select Done when you have finished and close the layer settings.
You have now used the exact same background image on a different design. Note that you have reused it as a static image on the background. It will not redraw itself when you move objects (like an AI background would).
[Optional] Use the editing features to further enhance or resize your design.
[Optional] Export your design.
Exit the editor to save your design.
