Best for
The background tool works on stills in three ways: remove the background, replace it, or relight the subject. Removal is for cutouts. Replace puts the subject in a new scene. Relight changes the light on the subject you already have.
Controls and pricing
Removal costs 5 credits on Free, Essential, and Creator, and 0 credits on Power Studio. Relight costs 15 credits on every plan. A replacement costs 10 credits when the replacement model is an SDXL-style or fast model, and 18 credits otherwise. Those are the prices the studio charges.
How to use it
Open the background tool, choose remove, replace, or relight, and add the image. For a cutout, removal is enough. For a new set, use replace and describe the place. For a grade of the light, use relight. Power Studio's zero price applies to removal only.
Where it fits
This is an image tool. Video background work is not part of it. A cutout is still your generation, under the license of your plan. Free and Essential are personal use. Creator and Power Studio include commercial rights, subject to the model licenses and the acceptable-use rules.
Good to know
Photograph the subject with a little separation from the background when you can. A busy pattern behind hair is harder to cut than a plain wall. Removal is the inexpensive first step, and it is free on Power Studio. Replace and relight rebuild the scene, and they keep their own prices.
Also worth knowing
A cutout is the file you hand to layout. A replacement is a new picture. A relight is the same picture with different light. Choose the mode before you upload, because each one spends a different number of credits and only removal drops to zero on Power Studio. Replace is 10 or 18 credits depending on the replacement style. Hair against a plain background cuts more cleanly than hair against a pattern. Removal is 5 credits, or free on Power Studio. Relight stays at 15 credits on every plan.
