Bria Generate Background
Playground
Try it on WaveSpeedAI!Swap image backgrounds using text or reference images; realistic results. Trained on licensed data for risk-free commercial use. Ready-to-use REST inference API, best performance, no coldstarts, affordable pricing.
Features
Bria Background Generation replaces or generates realistic backgrounds from a text prompt or a reference image while preserving the foreground subject. It’s trained exclusively on licensed data for safe, low-risk commercial use across ads, e-commerce, social, portraits, and product photos.
✨ Highlights
- Dual input: drive backgrounds by prompt or match style/composition with a reference image.
- Subject preservation: clean edges and minimal color bleed around people and products.
- Style range: photorealistic, illustration, anime—swap backgrounds without touching the subject.
- Production-ready: predictable results that slot into real design pipelines.
- Licensed training data: built for compliant commercial deployment.
🧩 Parameters
-
image* (required) Foreground/subject image (URL or upload). Missing image will fail.
-
prompt* (required) Background description only (scene, lighting, style, materials, mood). Example: “Epic anime city at night, neon signs, volumetric fog, blue-purple rim light.”
🚀 How to Use
- Provide image (required) — a clear, unobstructed subject works best.
- Write prompt (required) — describe the background only: environment, lighting, style.
- Click Run (e.g., $0.04) and download the generated image.
- Keep the same image and tweak the prompt to iterate styles while preserving composition.
💰 Pricing
- Per job $0.04
🧠 Prompting Tips (background-focused)
- Separate roles: keep the subject in the image; keep the background in the prompt.
- Lead with light: phrases like golden hour, studio softbox, neon backlight, volumetric fog quickly lift realism.
- Style anchors: add photorealistic, cinematic, anime, watercolor, or minimalist to control look.
- Materials & space: e.g., concrete rooftop, wet asphalt, marble lobby, skylight, depth of field.
- Consistent campaigns: reuse the same image and a prompt template; adjust color/weather for quick variants.

Task Submission Parameters
Request Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Range | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| prompt | string | Yes | - | Text description of the new scene or background | |
| image | string | Yes | - | The URL of the image to erase. | |
| enable_sync_mode | boolean | No | false | - | If set to `true`, the request attempts to wait for the generated result and return outputs in the same response. If the result is not ready within the sync wait window, the API can return a timeout body while the task continues processing. This option is only available via the API and is supported only by some models. |
| enable_base64_output | boolean | No | false | - | If set to `true`, the prediction's `output` strings are returned as **naked base64** (no `data:<mime>;base64,` prefix). When `false` (default), outputs are returned as URLs pointing to our CDN. |
Response Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| code | integer | HTTP status code (e.g., 200 for success) |
| message | string | Status message (e.g., “success”) |
| data.id | string | Unique identifier for the prediction, Task Id |
| data.model | string | Model ID used for the prediction |
| data.outputs | array | Output values, usually URL strings; some models return text strings or structured result objects (empty when status is not completed) |
| data.urls | object | Object containing related API endpoints |
| data.urls.get | string | URL to retrieve the prediction result |
| data.status | string | Status of the task: created, processing, completed, or failed |
| data.created_at | string | ISO timestamp of when the request was created (e.g., “2023-04-01T12:34:56.789Z”) |
| data.error | string | Error message (empty if no error occurred) |
| data.timings | object | Object containing timing details |
| data.timings.inference | integer | Inference time in milliseconds |
