Use the same AI background on multiple designs

Learn how to create AI backgrounds that look like part of the same theme.

If you want the same AI background on multiple images, we recommend that you use similar backgrounds rather than identical backgrounds. This is because each AI background is created to suit the lighting, angles, shadows, and colors in the original photo.

But if you really want the exact same AI background on multiple designs, there is a workaround, which we will explain here.

Side-by-side images of different products with the same AI-generated background.

Two Photoroom designs that both use the same AI-generated background.

The following instructions give an overview of the steps you need to take to reuse an AI Background. The details will vary on each platform, but the main idea of how it works is the same. You are going to create a design with an AI Background, export it as an image, and then use it as a regular image for a background.

  1. Create a new design and give it the AI Background you want to use.

    For instructions, see:

  2. Export the design as an image file.

  3. Create a new design and import a photo. This should be a different photo (not the photo with the AI Background).

    When the import begins, wait and let Photoroom remove the background. Do not select Skip background removal.

  4. When the import is complete, select the Transparent template.

  5. Use the editor to add an image background. Upload the image file that has the AI Background.

    For instructions, see Use your own image file as a background.

  6. Select the background layer and use Retouch to erase the foreground object that is embedded into the background layer. You will likely need to draw over it several times to get the AI to completely remove it.

    For instructions on using Retouch, see Remove unwanted objects with the Retouch tool.

  7. [Optional] Use the editing features to further enhance or resize your design.

  8. Export or Download your design.

Note: When you have finished, you will be able to apply the background image to as many designs as you like, but it will be a static image not an AI background. It won't redraw when you change the foreground layers.
