How to Change a Product Photo Background With AI

Use Image26’s image-to-image editor to give an existing product photo a different setting. Upload your photo, describe the background you want, then compare the output with your original before downloading it for your shop. Here’s the process, including a prompt you can copy and adapt.

Choose and upload your product photo

1. Choose a clear photo with the whole product visible. Look for sharp edges and readable label details so you have a useful reference when checking the output.

2. Use a JPG, PNG or WebP file. The page states a limit of up to 10MB per reference image.

3. Open the Image to Image AI Generator.

4. Select Add a reference image and upload your product photo.

Before writing the prompt, decide where you will use the image. A product listing might need a simple setting, while an image for a promotion might need empty space for a headline. Keep your original photo available for comparison.

Describe the new background

Paste this into the Prompt field:

Replace the background with a warm, sunlit kitchen counter and a softly blurred room behind it. Keep the product, label wording, cap, shape, and viewing angle as close to the reference as possible. Leave clear space on the right for a short headline.

Adapt the prompt to your photo:

• Change the setting. Replace the kitchen counter with the background you want, such as a wooden shelf or plain tabletop.

• Name the relevant product details. If your product has a lid or handle instead of a cap, change that part of the instruction.

• Choose space for text. Change “right” to “left” if that fits your layout, or remove the final sentence if you do not need a headline.

Keep the instruction focused on the background and the product details that matter. For example, “keep the label wording” gives a more specific instruction than “keep everything the same.”

Generate and check the product

1. Review the available model and output settings. Check the credit quote shown for your request; it depends on the selected model.

2. Sign in and use account credits as required, then select Generate when your photo, prompt and settings are ready.

3. When the output is available, compare it with your original. Read the label wording and check the cap, lid or handle, overall shape and viewing angle.

4. Check the background and composition. Does the setting match your request? Is the space intended for your headline clear enough to use?

AI editing can redraw the product as well as the background. If an important detail changes, revise the relevant instruction or use the original photo when an exact match is essential.

Find and download your image

Open My Creations in your account, choose the completed image and use its download control.

If you requested space for a headline, add the text after downloading. Before using the image in a listing or advertisement, check it at the size you intend to display, especially the product label and any text you add.

If you get stuck

If the photo will not upload, check its format and file size against the requirements above. If the background is too busy, try a simpler scene description and state which side should stay clear for text.
