Prepare your images
Use a sharp source with the entire product visible. Check thin parts, transparent surfaces, and reflective edges before editing.
Decide whether you need a white background, a transparent background, or a lightly shaded studio backdrop. They are different deliverables.
Check the current image requirements of the marketplace or publisher you plan to use. A visually white result may still require pixel-level review.
Step by step
- 1
Upload the source product photo
Use the image with the best available product detail. Avoid starting from a screenshot when the original file is available.
- 2
Request a background-only edit
Specify white explicitly and list the product details that should remain unchanged. Mention whether to retain a contact shadow or use a completely flat background.
- 3
Review the boundary before export
With live processing, inspect the outline at a larger view and compare it with the source. In this demo, you can record a version and refine the brief, but it does not create a white-background export.
Example instructions
A natural studio look
Replace the background with clean white. Keep the product, original colors, texture, and proportions unchanged. Retain only a soft contact shadow beneath it.
Suitable as a visual brief when a grounded product presentation is desired.
A flatter catalog direction
Replace the surrounding background with solid white. Preserve the entire product and fine edges, remove unrelated props, and do not add new reflections or decorative elements.
Describes a simpler background without promising marketplace compliance.
What to check
Inspect for halos, clipped corners, missing thin parts, and remnants of the old background.
Compare labels, product color, and reflective surfaces against the original.
Check background values, dimensions, and export format against the requirements of the intended destination.
This prototype keeps the source image unchanged. These checks describe what to inspect when live image processing is available.
Frequently asked questions
Is a white background the same as transparency?
No. White is an opaque background color. Transparency requires an image format and export that preserve an alpha channel; use the cutout workflow when that is the goal.
Should I remove every shadow?
That depends on the intended presentation and destination requirements. A soft contact shadow can make the item feel grounded, while some workflows need a flatter background.
Does this guarantee marketplace acceptance?
No. Review the destination requirements and inspect the final file. This prototype does not generate or export a processed product image.
