This is especially helpful when:
You want to create a consistent canvas environment for multiple assets.
You're prepping assets for visual previews or further design work.
You need to isolate elements or add a base color behind transparent assets.
Best Practices
Use background color fills to stabilize lighting and contrast in your compositions.
Make sure your asset’s transparency is preserved before adding a background, if your goal is to layer elements cleanly.
Use this setup to stage assets before enhancing or refining them with AI tools.
