Photos that sell, made from the ones you already have.
UnderlayX cuts out the person or product in your photo, then puts words, shapes, images or a new background around it. For listings, launches, ads and thumbnails.
Made for what you sell
Pick who you are, or just watch it change.
Put it behind the subject
Words, a logo, another photo or a bold shape go behind your product or person. The subject stays in front, untouched, so it looks designed, not pasted.
Change what is around it
Let the subject break out of the frame, cut it out for a clean listing, or put it in a new scene or on your brand colour.
Make more of it
One shoot becomes every colour. One product becomes a size range. Your logo lands on the cup, and a destination fills a silhouette.
Change the photo itself, with AI
Type what you want in plain words. Golden hour on stone, clutter gone, the exact reaction, a new colour. Included with Creator.
