Replace or Remove Background
Use background tools to isolate the subject of an image or place it into a new generated scene.
For the dedicated app workflow, see Background Remover App.
Ideogram 4.0 supports native transparency and background workflows where available, making these tools useful for product cutouts, interface assets, campaigns, and other design workflows.
Modes
Remove BG creates a transparent PNG/cutout by removing the image background.
Replace BG generates a new background from your prompt while keeping the main subject.
Availability, credit usage, and editing options can vary by plan, model, and workflow.
Access
You can access background actions from supported image surfaces:
Image details - select Remove BG, use its dropdown for Replace BG where available, or open the More menu.
Image import - import, paste, or drag an image into the Prompt Box, then choose Remove BG or Replace BG where shown.
Apps - open Background Remover App for the dedicated Remove BG workflow.
Canvas or editing surfaces - use background actions where those tools are available to your account.
Remove Background
Remove BG detects the foreground subject and removes the surrounding background. The result is saved as an image with transparency where the workflow supports transparent output.
After removing the background, you can download the result, continue editing, or use the cutout in another supported workflow.
Replace Background
Replace BG lets you describe a new background in the Prompt Box. Ideogram generates new image options that place the subject into the prompted scene.
Use a clear prompt for the replacement background, including setting, lighting, materials, and mood when those details matter.
When replacing a background, the generated result may adjust edges, lighting, or contact shadows so the subject blends with the new scene.
