The invention provides an image communication method and an electronic device using the same. In the image communication method, the communication between the electronic device and the called is firstly set up. And then a current image which is shot is analyzed to capture the foreground object in the current image and combine the foreground object with a scene background into a synthetic image, so as to send the image to the called. Consequently, when having conversation with the called with the electronic device, a user can replace the real background of the environment with the scene background in real time, so as to add interest in the image communication process.
