Changing the Background Color

Photopea's approach to changing background color is straightforward. Since the background is a layer, you must fill this layer with your desired color.

  2. Choose your color: Click on the foreground color swatch in the tools panel to select the color you'd like to apply as the background. This opens a color picker to help you choose the perfect shade.
  3. Fill the background: Navigate to the top menu and select Edit Fill Foreground Color. Photopea will then fill the selected layer (the background layer) with the color chosen in step 2.
