Product photo editing is the full package for online sellers. Instead of ordering clipping, retouching and colour separately, you send your raw product shots and get back images that are ready to upload: clean background, dust removed, accurate colour, a natural shadow, and every product sitting in the same spot on the canvas.
Consistency is the real value here. A category page where every product has the same margins, background and lighting looks like a professional brand. One where each image is slightly different looks like a market stall, even if the products are excellent.
We set up a simple style guide with you on the first order: background, margins, shadow, file size and naming. After that, every batch follows the same rules.
What our product photo editing service includes
- Background removal (white, transparent or brand colour)
- Dust, scratch and blemish removal
- Colour and exposure correction

Shopify, WooCommerce and BigCommerce
Square or portrait crops sized to your theme for fast-loading collection pages.
eBay and Etsy
Clear, consistent thumbnails that stand out in search results.
Wholesale and B2B catalogues
High-resolution files suitable for print and PDF catalogues.
Social commerce
Images formatted for Instagram, Facebook and TikTok shops.
How we make sure it looks right
We check each image at full size and as a thumbnail, because that is how customers first see it. A product that looks good at 2000px but tiny in a grid needs a tighter crop, and we will adjust it.
Your style guide is saved, so different editors produce the same result. If your brand changes, update the guide once and every future batch follows it.
How it works
- Send products and specs. Upload images and tell us platform, size and background.
- Agree a style guide. We set margins, shadow and naming with you and quote.
- Edit. Background, retouching, colour and shadows in one pass.
- Consistency check. The whole batch is reviewed side by side.
- Deliver. Upload-ready files named the way you need.
Turnaround and file formats
Delivery time depends on the number of images and how complex they are, so we confirm a firm deadline with every quote rather than promising a one-size-fits-all number. Rush delivery is available for many jobs; just ask when you send your files.
We accept JPG, PNG, TIFF, PSD, HEIC, WebP and most camera RAW formats (CR2, CR3, NEF, ARW, RAF, DNG). You choose the output: high-quality JPG, transparent PNG, layered PSD, TIFF or WebP, in sRGB for web or another colour profile for print. We keep your file names and folder structure so the edited files drop straight back into your workflow.
Preparing your files
- Send the largest, sharpest version you have. We can always size down, but we cannot add detail that is not there.
- Tell us where the images will be used (Amazon, your own store, print, social) so we export the right size.
- Include one finished example or a reference image if you have a particular style in mind.
- Share large batches by Google Drive, Dropbox, WeTransfer or a similar link.
Why hand editing still matters
Automatic tools are fast, and for some jobs they are good enough. The trouble is that they make the same small mistakes again and again: soft edges where there should be crisp ones, missing gaps, colour fringes, and details that quietly disappear. On a thumbnail you might not notice. On a zoomed product page, a printed catalogue or a large banner, customers do. Our product photo editing work is done by trained editors who look at every edge and every surface, and who can make judgement calls a tool cannot, such as what belongs to the product and what is just a reflection or a speck of dust.
Our quality checklist
- Every image is checked at 100% zoom, not just as a thumbnail.
- Edges are reviewed on contrasting backgrounds to catch halos and stray pixels.
- Colour is compared with the original so the product stays true to life.
- Sizing, margins and naming follow the brief for the whole batch.
- A second editor signs off each file before delivery.
Large and recurring orders
If you have a big catalogue or a regular flow of new products, we set up a short style guide with you on the first order covering background, margins, shadows, file size and naming. Every later batch follows it, whichever editor works on it, so your images stay consistent month after month. Regular clients also get volume pricing and a predictable delivery schedule agreed in advance, which makes it easier to plan product launches and seasonal drops.
Pricing
Every image is different, so we price product photo editing by complexity and volume. Send a few samples and we will reply with a clear per-image quote before you commit to anything. See our pricing page for how quotes work.
