Background Change

Changing the background of the image can be done in seconds with reaConverter image editing tools.
With reaConverter, you can easily use a color picker to select the original color and select the image file to make it the background instead of the selected color. reaConverter allows you to control the intensity of the change, by offering a handy scroll bar to adjust Tolerance.

How to Change the Background of Images in a Few Clicks?

1. Open Images

Load one or more images you intend to edit, using reaConverter's handy drag-and-drop feature or by selecting them manually. Adding entire image folders is also an option, as well as loading images from image list files.

2. Add Background Change Action

Go to the Image editing tab, click Add action → Creative Retouching → Background Change

You will now be able to select a new background image from your computer and stretch it if necessary. In this window you can hand-pick the color you wish to change in the background, and also opt for having a partial or an entire background change by entering a proper figure into the Tolerance box.

3. Save the Result

You can select a location for your newly edited images. Last but not least, you can choose to save the new files into a new image format. reaConverter supports conversion to and from a wide range of image file extensions, including both popular ones, such as JPEG, PNG, WebP or AVIF, and rare ones.

Finally, press the Convert button and your new images will soon be ready!
