Product Photo Preparation for Marketplace Listings

Begin with a sharp original, consistent lighting, a plain background and crop dimensions suited to the destination.

Method

Background cutout tools based on color are effective on clean studio backgrounds but fail on busy environments and reflective objects. Use a manual cutout for difficult edges, align the subject, then batch-resize and export a consistent set.

Verification and limitations

Review the current official marketplace specifications before submission. Our general image presets cannot promise acceptance by a particular retailer.
