What this edit does
Add a sandy beach and turquoise sea behind your portrait. The beach background brings open sky, a calm horizon and a lighter outdoor feel to an ordinary photo. Preview the scene with your own picture, then move the background to find a natural crop around your head and shoulders.
When to use this look
Make a playful summer portrait, a holiday-themed profile picture or an image for a personal invitation. The editor combines your photo with a prepared beach scene.
Example: before and after
Before · sample portrait
After · Beach backgroundIllustrative sample portrait generated for this guide; the after image uses this editor's browser segmentation and scene assets.
A portrait taken against an ordinary room becomes a composite with beach behind the person. The face and clothing remain from the original photo.
Tips for a believable result
- Use an evenly lit portrait so the person fits the bright beach setting.
- Keep the horizon away from the eyes and leave enough sea or sand visible at the sides to show the setting.
The model targets the prominent person in a still image. Fine hair, motion blur, crowds, or similar foreground and background colors can reduce cutout quality.
Four steps
- Open or capture a portrait
Use a local image file, or start the camera and capture a still photo after the optional timer.
- Let the browser find the person
The on-device model separates the prominent person from the original background once per photo.
- Preview beach
Inspect the result, move or fit a scene if needed, and adjust edge softness. Switch presets without repeating the cutout.
- Save the result
Choose PNG for transparency or JPEG for an opaque image. Nothing downloads automatically.
Common questions
Can I change where the beach horizon appears?
Yes. Use the background fit and position controls to adjust the crop. The available movement depends on the shape of your photo.
Does the beach effect add sunlight to my face?
No. It changes the scenery behind you. For a convincing result, start with a portrait whose lighting already suits an outdoor scene.
Does this work with a webcam photo?
Yes. Start the camera, choose a timer if you like, and capture a still image. Camera permission is requested only when you press Use camera.
Does changing backgrounds upload my photo?
No. Portrait segmentation and composition run in your browser. The model and preset images are static files downloaded from this site.
