Prepping product photos for Amazon, Etsy, and Shopify
A practical workflow for turning raw product shots into clean, marketplace-ready images: pure-white or transparent backgrounds, consistent sizing, and compressed files — for a whole catalog at once.
Marketplaces reward clean, consistent product imagery — Amazon’s main images expect a pure-white background, and Etsy and Shopify listings convert better when the product is the only thing in frame. This guide is the end-to-end workflow to get there for a single product or a full catalog, entirely in the browser.

1. Remove the background cleanly
Upload your product shot and remove the background. For most products with a defined edge, the Fast mode is enough; switch to Best Quality for fuzzy or reflective items. The result is a transparent cutout you can drop onto any background.
- Fast for clean-edged products.
- Best Quality for fuzzy or detailed items.

2. Put it on the background the marketplace wants
Amazon main images need a pure-white (RGB 255,255,255) background — open the cutout in the editor and place it on a white layer. For Etsy and Shopify you have more freedom: transparent PNGs, a soft lifestyle scene, or a brand color all work. The straight-alpha edge means the product sits on white without a grey halo, which is exactly what Amazon’s image checks look for.
- Amazon: pure-white background.
- Etsy/Shopify: transparent, scene, or brand color.
- Clean alpha = no halo on white.

3. Size and compress consistently
Use the resizer to bring every image to the same dimensions so your listing grid looks uniform, then compress with WebP/JPEG quality control to keep page weight down without visible quality loss. Consistent framing across a catalog is one of the strongest trust signals on a product page.
- Resize to one consistent dimension.
- Compress for fast-loading listings.

4. Do the whole catalog at once
For more than a few products, use batch mode to remove backgrounds across the set and download a ZIP, then apply the same resize/compress settings. Because it all runs locally, you can process a large catalog without uploading proprietary product photography anywhere.
Consistency sells
Pick one set of export dimensions and one background treatment and apply them to every product — a tidy, uniform grid outperforms individually nicer but mismatched photos. Keep a transparent PNG master of each cutout so you can re-background it later for ads or a different marketplace without re-cutting.
