Prepare a white-background product photo for Shopify

Cut the product out in the browser, download a transparent PNG, then place it on white in your listing tool. Optional object eraser if a stand or glare remains.

From phone shot to listing still

Works best on a single product with a clear edge. Lifestyle scenes with many objects need more cleanup.

  1. 1.

    Upload the product still

    Use the sharpest frame you have. Avoid heavy filters before cutout.

  2. 2.

    Run background cutout

    Credits show before you confirm. Download the transparent PNG when it succeeds.

  3. 3.

    Place on white and upload

    Drop the PNG on a white canvas in Shopify or your design tool. Compress if the PNG is heavy.

Store-ready details

Shopify wants a clean subject, not a generated lifestyle scene.

  • Transparent PNG first

    You control the backdrop. White is one option; brand color is another.

  • Leftover stands

    Use object eraser on props, dust, or a second product in frame.

  • Size after cutout

    If the subject is small in pixels, upscale before you list. Then compress for the theme.

  • Rights

    Only process photos you own or are licensed to edit. Do not strip another brand’s watermark.

Shopify photo FAQ

Credits, formats, and what we will not do.

Does this generate a studio scene?

No. It cuts out the photo you upload. You add the white (or any) background yourself.

What if hair or mesh is messy?

Run object eraser on leftover patches, or recut from a simpler source photo.

How are credits charged?

Each cutout or eraser run uses the model’s listed credits. Image compression and the browser video editor are free.

Listing checklist

Export PNG → optional upscale to ~2000px on the long side → compress → upload to Shopify. Keep a lossless archive of the original shot.
