If you're an Amazon Handmade seller, then you know how important it is to have great product photos. After all, these are the first thing potential buyers will see when they are browsing through your products. A white background is key for good product photos - it makes your products really stand out and look professional. In this blog post, we will give you some tips and tricks for getting better product photos with a white background!
Amazon Handmade White Background Photo Tips:
1) Use Canva Pro's Background Remover Feature
If your product photo background isn't too busy, Canva Pro might be all you need to remove the background to get a pure white background. Canva Pro's Background Remover feature is simple to use - just upload your photo, select the Remove Background tool, and trace around the object you want to keep.
Here's more details on this feature from Canva.
2) Use Amazon's Seller App to Edit Your Photos
Amazon's seller app has a white background feature that you can use to edit your product photos. This white background option is available on both the iPhone and Android versions of the Amazon Seller app. The white background editor tool is easy to use right from the app and it'll tell you when the background is good enough to be used as a main listing photo.
3) Use PixLoom
PixLoom.com offers background removal and photo retouching services for as low as $1 per image. This white background service is affordable, fast (under 24 hours), and easy to use.
Just upload your image, add a few details about what you need to be done to it, and they will get back to you with an edited version of your photo within 24 hours. It couldn't be easier!
And you can bet I've done this on photo batching days when we've got tons of new product to list :)
4) Underexpose Your Raw Photos
We all want bright, crisp, and clear photos, but if your images require a bit of editing to get that main listing photo background true white, you should make sure to take photos while a bit underexposed. This allows you more flexibility with brightening up your photos without distorting the product too much, especially useful for products that are already light or white in color.
Final Thoughts
Product photography is a key part of selling on Amazon Handmade. You want to make sure that you're taking the best photos possible for your products. White background product photography is essential in creating a professional-looking listing that won't get your listing suppressed for not meeting the main listing photo requirements.
