How can I only change the background color to black and white?
Step 1
Start with an image
You can either use Photoroom on your desktop or on your smartphone with the mobile app.
Either way, upload an image and then use the template 'Color Splash' to generate a black and white background – without changing the font colors.
Step 2
Adjust and transform the image
Explore additional editing options to customize your image. In the application, you can resize the image and add text using all the available editing features.
Photoroom's primary focus is on background removal, which will be at the center of most templates you encounter.
Step 3
Subscribe to be a Pro User
The advantage of being a Pro-User is having access to the tools AI Backgrounds (AI Background Generator) and AI Shadows (AI Shadow Generator).
Additionally, it allows you to remove the Photoroom watermark from your images and grants access to all the fun templates available.
Design black and white backgrounds
Incorporating monochromic backgrounds into your visuals can elevate their overall impact, leaving a lasting and memorable impression on your audience. Black and white backgrounds can help maintain a consistent and cohesive visual identity across your projects or brand, enhancing recognition and brand recall.
Eliminate (color) noise
By eliminating distracting colors, monochromatic backgrounds direct the viewer's attention to the main subject, making it stand out prominently. Black and white backgrounds give the photo an artistic aesthetic and make the subject in the foreground pop out. Add text to the image or resize it for Instagram to personalize it for your needs.
You asked, we answered
When is a black and white background useful?
A black and white background is particularly useful when you want to create a timeless and elegant atmosphere while emphasizing the main subject in the foreground with enhanced contrast.
What color text on black and white background?
The most effective text color on a black and white background is typically white. White text creates a strong contrast against the black background, ensuring optimal readability and visibility. This combination offers a clean and classic look, making the text stand out clearly. Add stickers and other graphic elements to highlight the text from the background.
Are there specific industries or contexts where black and white backgrounds are more suitable?
Black and white backgrounds exude an air of sophistication and exclusivity, making them a popular choice for luxury fashion brands. These backgrounds create a clean canvas that allows the products to shine, emphasizing their high-quality and timeless appeal. In the world of photography and art, black and white backgrounds are often used to draw attention to the subject of the image. The absence of color can accentuate the details, emotions, and composition, resulting in powerful and evocative visuals.
