Remove or replace backgrounds on multiple images

Last updated on May 30, 2025

Remove the backgrounds from images in bulk and replace them with another image or a colored background.

  1. Select Creative production on the Firefly website.

  2. Select the Remove background module.

  3. Select From device to upload multiple JPG or PNG files from a local device, or use Connect to storage to directly upload images from your cloud storage, such as Dropbox.

    Under the Upload images, the Dropbox option is selected.
    Choose the best method to upload images, whether they're stored locally or in the cloud.

    Note:

    Remove background supports files up to 50 MB in size, in batches of up to 1,000 JPG or PNG images. The longest side (width or height) of the images must not exceed 6000 pixels.

  4. To remove the backgrounds from all uploaded images and replace them with transparent backgrounds, enable the Transparent background option under Background variations and select Continue.

    Under the Background options section, the Remove background option is toggled on.
    The Transparent background option will remove the background from all uploaded images.

  5. To replace all backgrounds in a batch, enable Image backgrounds and upload the new background image from your local device or cloud. Select Continue.

    Under the Replace background section, a background is uploaded from the device.
    Upload the images you want to set as the new background, replacing the current one.

    You can add multiple background images to replace the removed background, but make sure the longest side (width or height) of each image does not exceed 6000 pixels.

  6. To replace all backgrounds in a batch with a solid color, select Color backgrounds, enter a HEX value, and then the      button.

    In the Color background field, there is a color hex code added.
    Create a uniform colored background for all uploaded images.

    Tip:

    The count displayed below the Continue button shows a preview of the total outputs generated after background removal. This count number is calculated as the total of original images uploaded and the number of background variations selected.

  7. Select Continue.

  8. In the Final processing details dialog box, select the file types for the processed images. Choose from JPG, PNG, or any combination, and then select Process.

    The Final processing details dialog box is open and the JPG is selected as the file type.
    Select the file type for the processed images.

You'll get an email with a link to download all your images once the batch processing is complete.
