Overview

AirBrush Background Changer swaps what sits behind the subject in a photo. The AI finds the subject and lifts the old background out, and you pick the replacement: a solid colour, a ready-made scene template, or an image of your own. There is no manual cutout step. It comes from Pixocial, whose AirBrush editor is built for selfies and portraits, and AirBrush's other retouch and filter tools work on the same photo.

It runs on the web, in the AirBrush iPhone and Android apps, and in AirBrush Studio for Windows and Mac. It reads JPG, PNG and WebP. Free use is capped at a set number of exports. Paid plans are subscriptions offered with a free trial, and exporting a photo spends one credit.

When to use

Use AirBrush Background Changer when you want a quick background swap on photos of people:

  • You want a portrait or selfie put on a clean colour or a new scene without cutting anything out by hand.
  • You would rather pick a ready-made scene than describe one, since it leads with template backgrounds.
  • You have a specific background in mind and can supply it, since you can upload your own image.
  • You already retouch in AirBrush and want the background changed without moving the photo to another tool.
  • You edit on a phone, since the iPhone and Android apps carry the same feature, and AirBrush Studio on Windows and Mac gives more control.

When NOT to use

Skip AirBrush Background Changer if any of these describe you:

  • You only want the background gone, not replaced. A dedicated background remover gives you a transparent PNG in fewer steps.
  • You want a background built from a description. This tool works from colours, templates and uploads, so ImagineArt Background Changer is the one that builds a scene from a text prompt.
  • You have a lot of photos to process. Free use is capped at a set number of exports, and paid exports spend one credit per photo.
