Hello Naushad,

I would assume most people use something from Adobe depending on the kind of image you will like to use as background (photo, vector, texture, etc), these would include Photoshop, Illustrator or Fireworks https://creative.adobe.com/plans. If your budget is limited there are some free alternatives out there such as:

GIMP (Win/OS X/Linux) - http://www.gimp.org/

Pixelmator (OS X) - http://www.pixelmator.com/

Paint.NET (Windows) - http://www.getpaint.net/

Pixlr Editor (Web) - http://pixlr.com/

Some of these are free, other you have to pay but most would have a 30 day trial that you could take advantage of.

I hope these help.

Luis
