How to remove the background from a product photo
- 01
Upload the product shot
Drag a JPG, PNG or WebP onto the box, or paste it with Ctrl+V. Best results come from even lighting and a plain backdrop.
- 02
Let it cut out the subject
The in-browser model isolates the product and removes the background automatically.
- 03
Pick a background and download
Keep it transparent for ads and mockups, or pick White for marketplaces, then download PNG or JPG.
Marketplace image rules, in one place
Every marketplace publishes its own image rules, and they change from time to time. These are the main-image requirements as each platform documents them at the time of writing - check the seller help pages before a big catalog upload.
| Marketplace | Background | Size | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Amazon (main image) | Pure white, RGB 255, 255, 255 | 1,000 px or more on the longest side enables zoom | Product fills about 85% of the frame. No text, logos, props or watermarks. |
| Shopify | Your choice - keep it consistent across the store | 2048 × 2048 px square recommended | Same aspect ratio for every product keeps collection grids even. |
| Etsy | No rule; clean or lifestyle both work | 3000 × 2250 px recommended, at least 2000 px on the shortest side | Thumbnails crop to 4:3, so keep the product centred. |
| eBay | White or light neutral recommended | At least 500 px on the longest side, 1600 px recommended | No borders or added text on the photo. |
Transparent or white: which to upload where
Upload white (JPG) where the platform demands a white main image - Amazon above all. Keep the transparent PNG for everything else: ads, social posts, store banners and mockups, where the product sits on a colour or a scene you choose later. It costs nothing to download both from the same cut-out, so keep the transparent master and export white copies as needed. If you want to know why the transparent file matters, the transparent PNG guide explains what an alpha channel is and which formats keep it.
A shooting checklist that saves editing later
- Shoot against a plain backdrop that contrasts with the product - white products on grey, dark products on white.
- Use soft, even light from two sides. Hard shadows get cut into the product outline.
- Fill the frame. A product that covers most of the photo keeps more detail after the cut.
- Shoot every product at the same distance and angle, so the catalog looks consistent after removal.
- Keep the original files. If a marketplace changes its rules, you re-export instead of re-shooting.
From experience
Notes from shooting real product photos
- Shadows count as background - if the product sits directly on a surface, the model often clips the contact shadow, so lift the item slightly when shooting.
- Reflective and transparent products (glass, acrylic) are the hard case: keep the High precision model and shoot against a matte, contrasting backdrop.
- For marketplace listings, cut out to transparent first and then pick White - the fill is exact #FFFFFF and you keep the transparent version for everything else.
- Thin straps, chains and handles need the High precision model; the Fast model tends to eat them.
