E-Commerce Product Photography Guide: AI-Powered Workflows

Key Takeaways

  • Clean source images = better AI results
  • Batch processing is essential for large catalogs
  • Platform-specific requirements matter (Amazon vs Shopify)

Images processed per hour

200+ with batch

File size reduction

60% average

Time saved vs manual editing

8 hours per 100 images

Capture Guidelines for AI Processing

Shoot on white or neutral backgrounds with even lighting. Avoid harsh shadows and reflections. AI tools work best with clean source images. Use natural light or softbox lighting for consistent results.

Batch Background Removal

Upload 50+ product photos to Studio24's background remover. Process simultaneously with consistent white backgrounds. Export PNG files with transparent backgrounds for flexible use across platforms.

Amazon & Shopify Requirements

Amazon: 1000px minimum, white background (#FFFFFF), product fills 85% of frame. Shopify: Flexible, but optimize file sizes for page speed. Use Studio24's image compressor to reduce file sizes by 60% without quality loss.

Scaling to Thousands of SKUs

Create presets for each product category (lighting, angle, background). Use batch processing to handle hundreds of images per hour. Maintain consistency across your entire catalog for brand trust.
