Midgrounder uses cutting-edge AI to automatically separate your images into layers. This lets you place text that appears to be naturally part of the scene - behind some objects and in front of others. Perfect for creating eye-catching social media posts, marketing materials, and artistic compositions.
AI-Powered Separation
Our advanced AI instantly identifies and separates foreground from background, no manual masking required.
Lightning Fast
Get professional results in seconds, not hours. Upload, add text, and download.
Natural Depth
Text that looks like it belongs in the scene, creating stunning depth effects automatically.
Why Midgrounder vs. Photoshop / Canva / Photopea?
General image editors can produce the same result — if you have the time, the skill, and the patience. Midgrounder is built for this one job.
Photoshop
25+ minutes of manual masking per image, plus a monthly subscription and a learning curve.
Midgrounder
30 seconds of AI-driven foreground/background separation with no masking UI to learn.
Canva
Limited text-behind-subject support; depth ordering is manual and the layer model is shallow.
Midgrounder
A dedicated workflow with true foreground/text/background ordering — the whole app is this one task.
Photopea
Full in-browser editor, but no AI layer separation — you still mask by hand.
Midgrounder
AI-first for this specific job: upload, type, export. No masking, no tool palette.
How It Works
Upload Your Photo
Drag and drop any image - portraits, landscapes, products, anything.
Add Your Text
Type your message and watch as our AI finds the perfect depth placement.
Customize & Export
Adjust fonts, colors, and positioning, then download your masterpiece.
What's Under the Hood
The Free tier runs RMBG locally — a lightweight ONNX background-removal model with no AI service cost. The Pro tier sends the same image to Google's Gemini 2.5 Flash Image model (Vertex AI) for higher-fidelity foreground/background separation when the local model isn't sharp enough. Both tiers composite text between the two layers in your browser using the HTML Canvas API; nothing about the typography or rendering depends on a remote server.
