Generate Background

Generate prompt-controlled backgrounds behind RGBA cutouts while preserving the foreground.

image

Overview

Generate Background creates a new scene behind an existing foreground subject from a single RGBA input image and a text prompt. The RGB channels carry the source image, while the alpha channel defines the foreground mask that should be preserved.

Use this API when you already have a product, person, logo, or object cutout and need to place it into a realistic or stylized environment without manually compositing layers. The output keeps the same resolution as the input image, making it practical for automated product creative, campaign variants, and design tools.

Key Capabilities

  • Prompt-controlled backgrounds: Generate a new background from natural-language instructions such as "at desert", "modern studio", or "marble kitchen counter".

  • Alpha-mask guidance: Uses the input RGBA alpha channel as the mask, so the foreground subject remains the visual anchor.

  • Same-resolution output: Returns an image with the same width and height as the submitted input.

  • Foreground-aware composition: Builds a background that fits around the masked subject instead of replacing the whole image.

  • Fast creative variation: Produce multiple background concepts for the same cutout by changing only the prompt.

  • API-ready workflow: Accepts multipart form-data with file or URL inputs for direct integration into image editing pipelines.

Background Workflows

What Can You Create?

Turn existing cutouts into production-ready visuals by generating new environments around the same foreground subject.

Product Photography Variants

E-commerce teams can take one transparent product cutout and generate seasonal, lifestyle, or marketplace-specific backgrounds without reshooting. A single SKU can become a desert campaign image, a studio catalog shot, or a social ad creative by changing the prompt.

Marketing Creative Automation

Design platforms and ad tools can generate many background concepts behind the same foreground asset for A/B testing. This keeps the hero object consistent while giving marketers fast visual variety across channels.

Creator and Editor Tools

Photo editors can offer background generation after background removal: users cut out a subject, type a scene prompt, and receive a polished composite. This enables lightweight design workflows for thumbnails, profile images, posters, and social media.
