How to Change the Background of a Photo in Picsart for Free
The premium version of Picsart, aka Picsart Gold, offers a direct swap option to change the background of photos. However, the free version has no such option. Changing the background of a photo in the free version requires you to remove the original background, then add a new background.
Remove the Existing Background
Note: you may be asked to get the premium version of Picsart several times while using the app. Press the back button, swipe to go back, or hit the cross icon at the top to discard the Picsart Gold screen. Tip: you can even use the Brush or Shape tools on Android to select the cutout. On iPhone, tap on the checkmark icon at the top, then tap on the Erase tool. But if you want to change the background of the picture tool, check the next section.
Add a New Background
Tip: use the Text tool to add a watermark to your photos. Background: tap on the “Background” option to choose an image from Picsart’s gallery. Image: alternatively, tap on the “Image” option to select an image from your phone. Tap on the “Add image” icon on the left side in the bar carousel above, press the arrow icon at the top, then select the folder containing your image and choose the image that you want to use as the background.
