Check contrast before choosing black
After automatic removal, compare the subject’s edge against black. A pale halo from the old backdrop can be more visible here than on white. Erase remnants carefully and restore dark clothing or hair if the cutout lost detail.
Keep breathing room around the object and adjust its scale rather than stretching the image. A black backdrop changes the composition, not the lighting of the photographed subject. Export PNG or WebP, or choose JPEG for a flat image with broad compatibility.

A few things to know
Will a black background relight my photo?
No. The editor places your original subject over a dark colour. It does not add studio lighting or change the subject’s exposure.
