It keeps the edges of hair, fur, thin jewelry chains and glass crisp, so the subject looks shot on grey rather than pasted onto it. The page opens on Grey (#6B7280), and the color picker lets you change the shade before you download. Upload a JPG, PNG, WebP or HEIC file; the result keeps the resolution you uploaded. Adding a solid grey background costs 2 credits, and removing the background to a transparent PNG is free. Adding a grey background with AI means two steps done for you: a segmentation model separates the subject from everything behind it, then the empty area is filled with your chosen grey. It runs in any web browser on desktop, iPhone and Android, with nothing to install, and processes one image at a time. ### When should you use a grey background? Grey backgrounds work best when the color supports what you are showing: - **Tech that pops on neutral grey:** Give laptops, gadgets, and devices a clean grey background that feels premium — ready for Amazon, Shopify, and spec pages. - **Car accessories sharp on grey:** Drop alloys, mats, and auto parts onto a neutral grey background that keeps focus on the product — for listings and catalogs. - **Medical devices clinical on grey:** A clean grey background gives instruments and devices a sterile, trusted look — every edge traced for B2B catalogs and brochures. - **Staff headshots on clean grey:** Turn casual staff photos into consistent grey-background headshots — perfect for LinkedIn, team pages, and directories. ### How do I get the best grey background result? Three things improve the cutout before the color goes on: - **Use a high-contrast photo:** When the subject stands out clearly from the original background in color or brightness, the AI separates them more precisely. - **Avoid heavy motion blur near edges:** Sharp edges produce cleaner cutouts, especially around hair and fine details. - **Upload the highest resolution available:** More pixels give the model more detail to work with, resulting in smoother edges. ## Grey Background — Frequently Asked Questions Everything you need to know about adding a grey background. ### How do I add a grey background to a photo? Upload your image, and our tool will automatically remove the original background and replace it with a professional grey background instantly. ### How do I change a photo background to grey? Upload the photo and pick grey from the swatches. The AI separates your subject from the original background, then fills behind it with an even grey, matching the edges so it reads as one photograph rather than a cut-out on a colour block. ### Where can I get a grey background for a photo? You do not need to find one. Rather than downloading a grey image and pasting your subject on top — which leaves hard edges and mismatched lighting — this generates the grey backdrop behind your subject directly, at your photo's own resolution. ### How much does it cost? Nothing. Adding a background colour is free and unlimited on the Lite model — no credits, no watermark, and every download is full resolution. Pro and Max use our advanced models and do spend credits. ### Do I need to install any software? No. Everything runs online in your web browser — you don't need to download or install any apps or software. ### What image formats are supported? We support JPG, PNG, WebP, and HEIC formats. Processed images can be downloaded as PNG (for transparency) or JPG. ### Can I use this on my phone? Yes, our website is fully optimized for mobile devices, working perfectly on iOS and Android browsers. ### How accurate is the AI? Our advanced AI model is trained on millions of images to precisely handle complex edges like hair and fur for professional results. ### Are the 10 free credits available to everyone? Free credits go to eligible new accounts. We use automated behavioral checks, powered by a third-party trust system, to decide eligibility before credits are issued. We don't share the exact criteria publicly, because doing so would defeat the purpose. Why the gate? GoStudio.ai started as a self-funded indie product. We offered free credits openly so anyone could try it. A small number of users abused this with temporary emails, multiple accounts, and policy-violating content. To protect the product for the community that genuinely uses it, we introduced these checks. Most legitimate new users are unaffected. If you're flagged as ineligible and believe that's a mistake, email us at support@gostudio.ai and we review every request and will issue credits manually if it checks out. If you'd rather just get started, our plans begin at $3.90 and are available at local pricing in most countries. ## Didn't find what you came for? Tell us.
