How do I add a red background to a photo?

Upload the photo and run background removal. The page opens the custom background control at #DC2626; preview the red result and download it when the edges and contrast look right.

Can I adjust the preset to a different shade?

Yes. #DC2626 is only the starting red preset. Enter any valid HEX value in the color control to match a product, campaign, or documented brand palette.

Will changing the background recolor the subject?

The workflow separates the subject and applies color behind it. Always inspect fine edges, transparent materials, reflections, and shadows before publishing the result.

What file format is downloaded?

The composed solid-color result downloads as a PNG at the selected export dimensions.
