QuickCut

AI background generator

Cut out your product or portrait, describe a place in a few words, and get a new backdrop behind it. Choose “AI scene” in the Background panel after the cutout.

No photo handy? Try one:

Your photo is sent to an AI model via Vercel AI Gateway to remove the background, then processed locally. It isn’t stored.

What happens to your photo

Your photo is sent to an image model through Vercel AI Gateway to cut out the subject. Separately, when you press “Generate background”, only the description you typed and the frame shape (square, portrait or landscape) are sent to a second image model, also via Vercel AI Gateway. The picture comes back and is layered behind your subject in your browser.

Because the scene generator never sees your subject, it can’t distort your product or your face, a common complaint with editing tools that repaint the whole image.

If either model is busy or you hit the hourly limit, try again shortly.

Questions people ask

How does the AI background generator work?

First, your subject is cut out by an AI model through Vercel AI Gateway. Then you describe a scene (“walnut desk, soft window light”) and a separate image model generates a matching backdrop, which is placed behind your subject. Only your words are sent to the scene generator, never your photo.

Is it free?

Yes, with a fair-use hourly limit per visitor on both the cutout and the scene generator, since each AI call costs us money.

What should I write in the description?

Describe a place, a surface and the light: “sunlit bathroom shelf with eucalyptus, white tiles”, “dark slate surface, moody side light”. Leave out the subject itself; the generator is told to leave the centre clear for it.

Who owns the generated backgrounds?

You may use them freely, including commercially. As with any AI-generated image, don’t describe trademarked logos, real people or copyrighted characters.

Why doesn’t the lighting match my subject?

The model can’t see your photo, so tell it where the light comes from: “light from the left”, “overhead soft light”, “warm evening sun from behind”. A soft drop shadow also helps.
