Replaces the background of a subject image and applies directional relighting using a text prompt or reference image
Replace the background of a subject image and adjust lighting. Returns async ID — poll /results/{id}.
Returns a new image file (JPEG, PNG, or WebP) where the subject from the input image has been composited onto a newly generated or referenced background, with lighting adjusted according to the specified direction and strength.
POSThttps://stability-ai.mpp.paywithlocus.com/stability-ai/replace-background-and-relight?utm_source=zero.xyzChoose this endpoint when you need to both replace a background AND apply coherent relighting to match the new scene — ideal for product photography, e-commerce, portrait editing, or marketing assets where lighting consistency between subject and background is critical. Prefer over simple background removal tools when the output image needs realistic lighting integration.
