Frequently asked questions.

How can I customise my image background?
Once you have selected the background you are changing to, you have a range of editing tools available. You can increase or reduce the size, reposition or twist the background to perfectly align with the image. Then you have access to light, colour and detail adjustments to bring extra vibrancy to your new background, add warmth or sharpen or soften the background.
How do I remove the background from a PNG or JEG?
If you want a different background, drop a PNG or a JPG into our change background feature and it will automatically allow you to swap out the backdrop. Explore our media library to find something you like or upload your own, the choices are limitless!
What is the difference between removing and changing a background?
When you use a remove background feature, it completely removes the background from your image, so you are left with a transparent background and only the foreground detail of your image. In contrast, when you change a background, you swap out one background for another, a great tool if you want to alter colours, style or add in interesting locations, graphics or patterns.
Can I use my own brand backgrounds?
Absolutely, if you are looking to keep your image on brand and use a particular backdrop or colour theme you can do this easily in Adobe Express. If you are creating a series of headshots for your company, for example, you can have a backdrop that features the company logo, colours or graphics and ensure all photos are matching.
What does the change background feature do?
Our change background feature allows you to instantly swap the background of your image or photo for a better one. No matter what your background is, you can change it to something that better suits your image. Need to remove something distracting? It's gone. Want to add more colour to your background? Easy. From blank white to solid colours, patterns, seasonal backgrounds, professional backgrounds - Adobe Express can do it all. The best part is, changing background also won't affect your foreground image or subject and it only takes a few seconds.
Can I use change backgrounds to create social media images?
Yes, our change background feature is ideal for creating sharable social media posts.
