Guide to Changing or Swapping Backgrounds
Learn how to change or swap backgrounds in getimg.ai. Place your subject in any new setting with a simple prompt.
How It Works
Changing a background in getimg.ai takes just one line of text. You can do it in two ways:
- Main prompt box: for new uploads or existing images.
- Full image view: for editing something you’ve already generated or uploaded.

New to editing? Start with the Image Editing Basics Guide.
Option 1. Change Background from Full Image View
- Click on a previously generated or uploaded image in Content Generator to open it in full view.
- Use the prompt box below the image to describe the new background.
Examples:
place this person in front of a modern office building
change the landscape to a snowy mountain scene
swap the background for a vibrant city at night.
When you're done, press the arrow in the prompt box to apply the edit.
Your original stays untouched: a new image is created with the updated background.
Option 2. Change Background Using the Main Prompt Box
- Click the file with a plus icon (📄➕) in the prompt box in the Content Generator.
- Choose an image from Generated or Uploaded, or upload one from your device. You can also drag and drop an image from the gallery into the prompt box.
- In the prompt box, describe the background you want.
Examples:
replace the background with a beach at sunset
change the background to night, preserve the location
put the product in a luxury studio setting
change the background to a cozy living room.
Then, click the arrow to generate.
Try moving between indoor and outdoor scenes, day and night lighting, or different locations to see how easily your subject adapts!
