Why the right backdrop makes your content stick
Scroll-worthy loops that eyes are stuck on
Shorts and Reels adore background loops — unobtrusive flowing textures, gradients, or looping scenes that fix attention long enough to convey the message. When you replace static, uninteresting backdrops with AI-generated loops, you automatically introduce movement and richness without wasting hours in After Effects.
Ads that won’t feel like ads
Nobody wants to be sold, right? But an understated, high-end background for your Facebook or Instagram ads allows you to creep into your audience’s feed appearing as native content. Muted tones, clean textures, or soft gradients give your products that premium feel without screaming ‘BUY ME!’
Playful scenes for viral TikToks
TikTok is all about personality — so why do the bare minimum when you can have a background that’s bold, playful, and distinctly yours? Take advantage of AI-generated doodles, ethereal landscapes, or vibrant pop-art backgrounds that are in your brand aesthetic. It’s an easy trick to turn your videos into snackables and shareables.
Branding 101: consistency is key but so is freshness
Regardless of the type of visual you’re making — a Story graphic, a sales poster, or an influencer collab — your backgrounds ought to feel like you. Consider your fundamental style: bold and colorful, minimalist and cool, or earthy and organic? And then have each platform’s mood guide how you modify it:
- Reels — motion-friendly loops, light textures, or animated fun scenes
- Facebook Ads — clean, branded color blocks or soft gradients
- TikToks — quirky, multi-scene shots or neon doodles for Gen Z magic
Bonus tip: tie in your brand voice by appending these images with a killer one-liner from your go-to slogan writer — so every post strikes the same note.
Practical hacks for different channels
Hack #1: Keep your loops subtle
If you’re using a motion background, make the loop clean and not cluttered. That way, the eye is on your product, not the spin behind it. Simple animations = pro look.
Hack #2: Make reusable background templates
Don’t recreate the wheel every single time. Utilize your AI background creator to make 4–5 flexible backdrops you can modify with colors or overlays. Time-saver, maintains your grid’s consistency.
Hack #3: Test, tweak, repeat
Experiment with A/B testing your ads or Reels using various backgrounds. Check which scenes are viewed or clicked more. A quick change from white to a gentle gradient might double your engagement.
Three easy steps to generate scroll-stopping backdrops with Pippit
You don’t need a design degree to pull this off. With Pippit’s AI background generator, you’ll be churning out polished visuals in minutes. Here’s how:
Step 1: Import images from links or your devices
First, sign up for your free Pippit account and head to the ‘Image Studio‘ on the sidebar. Click ‘AI Background‘ under ‘Quick Tools.’ Drag and drop your product photos right in, or hit ‘Device‘ to pull images from your computer. If you’re reusing photos from TikTok Shop, Shopify, or Amazon, paste your product link instead. Boom — your images are ready to transform.
Step 2: Edit image background and content
This is where the magic happens. Pippit’s AI automatically removes your old, messy background. Now decide how you want your new scene to sparkle:
- Preset: Select from a collection of backgrounds that match your brand mood.
- Reference: Upload your own reference — perhaps a texture you took on vacation or your brand color scheme.
- Prompt: Write a brief prompt — such as ‘dreamy pastel swirl‘ — and the AI will come up with something brand new for you.
Pro tip: press ‘Sales Poster‘ to include text overlays, or insert your sassy line from your slogan generator to make your promo pop.
Step 3: Download your images
Once your image is done, click ‘Download‘ at the top. Select your file size and type, and choose whether you want to retain or delete the watermark. Save your new, on-brand visual to your device and you’re set to upload it directly into your feed, ad campaign, or product listing.
