Change the backdrop without rebuilding the poster
Same hero, same text, different world behind it. Plakat decomposes the image into layers, isolates the background, and lets you swap or regenerate it while every other layer stays exactly where it was.
How background swap works
Upload the poster. Decompose into layers. The background comes back as its own transparent PNG — you can delete it and drop a different image in, or regenerate it with a natural-language prompt ('make it a dusk sky', 'make it a brick wall'). Foreground layers stay locked in position.
Regenerate, don't just replace
You don't have to find a new background. Describe what you want and our AI generates it. 'Gradient sunset', 'grainy film texture', 'minimalist cream paper' — the generated background matches the aspect ratio and sits under the existing foreground layers.
Great for variants
Shipping one poster in five seasons? Swap the background five times. Same headline, same product shot, different backdrop per season. Without rebuilding anything.
Common questions
Does the foreground color-match the new background?
Not automatically — you keep creative control. If you want the foreground to adapt, use a Style Variant instead, which adjusts color harmony across all layers.
Can I upload my own background image?
Yes. Delete the decomposed background layer, drop in any image, and it sits behind the existing foreground layers.
Will the foreground edges look weird against a new background?
Decomposed foreground layers have clean alpha edges, so they composite cleanly against most backgrounds. Soft-edge elements may need a quick refine pass in the editor.
