Shopify listings convert better with clean, consistent product photography — but not every seller has access to a lightbox studio and a photographer. AI background removal closes most of that gap.

Start with the best photo you can take: good natural light (near a window, avoid direct harsh sun), a plain surface behind the product, and the camera held steady. You don't need professional equipment — a modern phone camera is enough as a source image.

Run the photo through PixelloAI's background remover to strip out whatever surface or wall was behind the product. Then use the editor's background panel to place it on pure white (the Shopify/Amazon standard) or a branded color that matches your store's theme.

For consistency across a whole catalog, process every product photo the same way — same background color, same general framing — so your storefront looks cohesive even if the original photos were taken in different rooms or lighting conditions.

Finally, export at the highest resolution PixelloAI provides and upload directly to Shopify — Shopify recompresses images automatically, so starting from a high-quality source keeps thumbnails and zoomed views sharp.

A consistent one: plain white or one soft colour for the catalogue, and one lifestyle shot per product for context. Consistency across the collection page does more for perceived quality than any single photo.

Shopify recommends large, square or consistently proportioned images; export at least 2000 pixels on the long side so zoom stays sharp, then let the platform compress. Check the current theme guidelines for exact ratios.
