How to add a blue background to a photo

Upload your photo

Choose a JPG, PNG or WebP up to 4 MB. It works best when the person, product or pet stands out clearly from the background.

We remove the background

The tool cuts out the subject automatically and shows the result on blue. Compare it with your original before you download.

Download on blue

Save a blue-background PNG up to 1,440 px on the longest side. You can also download it transparent, or on white or black.

What is a photo on a blue background good for?

Profile photos and résumés

A portrait on blue looks tidy and professional on a profile, a résumé or a badge. If it is for an official document, check its requirements first: this tool does not verify them.

Your brand and store

The same blue background across several photos gives your products a consistent look in banners, catalogs and posts.

Posts and presentations

A person or product on blue fits easily into slides, posts and thumbnails.

Tips for a better blue background

Shoot in good light and avoid harsh shadows on the subject.
Use a background that differs from the subject: blue clothes or products on a similar background are harder to cut out.
Check hair, fur, glass and transparent objects. They may need manual touch-ups.

Frequently asked questions

Which shade of blue does it use?

A fixed medium blue: #0066CC, that is RGB 0, 102, 204. You can't pick another shade for now. No shadows or reflections are added, and switching between backgrounds does not use another removal.

Can I use another shade of blue or another color?

The same tool also downloads your image on white or black, or transparent. For another shade of blue or any other color, download the transparent PNG and add the background you want in your image editor.

Is adding a blue background here free?

Yes. It uses no HummingBytes credits and adds no watermark. Without an account, everyone on the same network shares 5 removals a day. With an account, you get 20 a day, shared with HummingBytes in ChatGPT. Free capacity is limited overall, so the tool can be temporarily unavailable even when you have removals left.

Does it work with every image?

It works best when one subject stands out clearly from the background. Hair, fur, busy backgrounds, glass and see-through objects may need manual touch-ups. Check the result before you download it; we can't guarantee a perfect cutout.

What can I upload, and what do I get?

On this page, upload one JPG, PNG or WebP image up to 4 MB and 16 megapixels. Animated images aren't supported. You get a PNG up to 1,440 pixels on its longest side, with the original proportions. Choose a transparent, white, black or blue background before you download.

How many images can I process per day?

Each image we accept uses one removal. Retrying the same image in the same session and network, or the same signed-in account, doesn't use another. If an accepted image fails, it still counts, because processing may already have run. Limits reset at midnight UTC, shown in your local time. When you sign in, you switch to your account's daily removals; removals used without an account don't carry over.

What happens to my image?

We send your image to HummingBytes' processing service, hosted on Modal. Your upload and result are scheduled for deletion after 24 hours, and result links stop working then. Anyone who has a result link can open it until it expires, so share links with care. Our providers' backups may follow their own retention schedules. Images aren't added to your HummingBytes gallery.

Need more than a cutout?

With a paid plan, start from your product photo and create new white-background, studio and lifestyle images for your store and ads. This background remover doesn't use credits.
