Platform Requirements

Amazon requires pure white backgrounds (#FFFFFF), 1000px minimum, product filling 85% of frame. Shopify is flexible but clean backgrounds improve conversion. eBay recommends white backgrounds for main images.

Lighting Setup

Use natural light or softbox lighting for even illumination. Avoid harsh shadows. Shoot on white or neutral backgrounds for easier editing.

Background Removal

Use an AI background remover for repeatable product-image edits. Review each output, then export PNG for flexibility or JPG for platform requirements.

Image Optimization

Compress images to reduce file size without quality loss. Use WebP format when possible. Ensure fast page load times for better conversion rates.
