How to put your product on a brown background

1

Start from a photo

Click "Start from a photo" and pick a PNG or JPG of any size. The cutout runs in your browser, so the image is never uploaded to a server.

2

Keep the brown fill

Brown (#7b4b2a) is already selected once the background is gone. Swap it for any other colour with the swatches or the picker.

3

Download the result

Download a PNG with the background already composited in, ready for a listing, a deck or an ad.

When a brown background is the right call

Brown is the ground craft and provenance brands use. Coffee, chocolate, leather, wood and whisky all photograph well on it because the colour reads as material rather than as a graphic choice.

Works for

Coffee and chocolate, leather goods, woodwork and craft products, autumn ranges, and any brand selling on origin and material.

Watch out for

It is closer to the products that sit on it than any other ground here. A tan bag on brown, a chocolate bar on brown, a wooden object on brown — all of them lose their outline. Move the fill lighter or darker than the product, never level with it.
