It only takes a small detail, like a background crease in a product photo, to leave a bad impression on your brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But <a title=\"how to remove the background of an image in Photoshop\" href=\"https:\/\/pathedits.com\/blogs\/tips\/step-by-step-guide-remove-background-photoshop\">removing any traces of the original background<\/a> means your product takes the spotlight in every photo, and your online store looks professional\u2014like in this example from the <a title=\"Little Seed Farm\" href=\"https:\/\/littleseedfarm.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Little Seed Farm<\/a> shop.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<img data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.pathedits.com\/Images\/posts\/how-to-use-background-removal-services-to-improve-your-product-photos\/little-seed-farm-soap-collection-cedar-coconut-rose-lemon.png\" class=\"Sirv\" alt=\"Four Little Seed Farm soap bars in Cedar Vanilla, Coconut, Geranium Rose, and Grapefruit Lemon scents\">\n\n\n\n<p>Customers can shop and compare items easily because all products have a distraction-free white background. It also matches the website\u2019s clean design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can replicate this with background removal on your product shots and changing the background to pure white or <a title=\"how to create a transparent background in Photoshop\" href=\"https:\/\/pathedits.com\/blogs\/tips\/how-create-transparent-background-photoshop\">transparent<\/a> if your <a title=\"how to choose the background color of your ecommerce site\" href=\"https:\/\/pathedits.com\/blogs\/tips\/color-background-ecommerce-site\">website background color<\/a> is different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fits industry standards for ecommerce marketplaces<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Marketplaces drive <a title=\"marketplace data\" href=\"https:\/\/info.mirakl.com\/global-consumer-survey-january-2023?_ga=2.263840972.1901604541.1678112979-1705219044.1678112979\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">46% of online purchases<\/a>, and 77% of shoppers think they\u2019re the most convenient way to shop online. But if you want to sell across different marketplaces and introduce your products to a larger audience, listing photo preparation can be a headache because each platform has <a title=\"marketplace product photo guidelines\" href=\"https:\/\/pathedits.com\/blogs\/tips\/product-photo-size-requirements-guidelines-amazon-ebay\">different image guidelines<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Removing the background and swapping it for a clean, white one is the first step for selling on any major marketplace like <a title=\"Amazon product photos optimization tips\" href=\"https:\/\/pathedits.com\/blogs\/tips\/4-important-tips-optimizing-amazon-product-images\">Amazon<\/a>. Even <a title=\"how to take product photos with your smartphone\" href=\"https:\/\/pathedits.com\/blogs\/tips\/amazon-product-photography-the-secret-is-in-your-smartphone\">smartphone product shots<\/a> with a white background can be good enough for listing photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the white background product shot doesn\u2019t fit your own store aesthetic, you can adapt the same shot by changing the background color to match your site, like the sustainable clothing retailer <a title=\"Pact\" href=\"https:\/\/wearpact.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pact<\/a>. The brand has a light beige background for products in its store, but its Amazon listings all have a white background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See Pact\u2019s online store:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<img data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.pathedits.com\/Images\/posts\/how-to-use-background-removal-services-to-improve-your-product-photos\/pact-double-scoop-longline-soft-triangle-bras.png\" class=\"Sirv\" alt=\"Models wearing Pact Double Scoop Longline Bra in beige and Soft Triangle Bra in striped design\n\">\n\n\n\n<p>And its Amazon storefront:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<img data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.pathedits.com\/Images\/posts\/how-to-use-background-removal-services-to-improve-your-product-photos\/pact-organic-cotton-camisole-shelf-bra.png\" class=\"Sirv\" alt=\"Model wearing Pact Women's Organic Cotton Camisole Tank Top with built-in shelf bra in white.\">\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cost-effective for inventory changes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can avoid having to reshoot your inventory whenever your brand gets a new color variation of an already existing item. All it takes is changing your product\u2019s color in post-production, and you can instantly add it to your store. And you save yourself time and money hiring a team to shoot products you already sell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The consistency in your listing photos also makes it easy for customers to focus on choosing which color or pattern to buy. For example, yoga and fitness brand <a title=\"Mache\" href=\"https:\/\/heymache.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mache<\/a> shows the same yoga mat styling regardless of which color variation customers click.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<img data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.pathedits.com\/Images\/posts\/how-to-use-background-removal-services-to-improve-your-product-photos\/mache-natural-rubber-yoga-mat-green.gif\" class=\"Sirv\" alt=\"Green Mache natural rubber yoga mat with Jade Yoga logo.\">\n\n\n\n    <div class=\"insert-cta light\">\n        <div class=\"grid\">\n            <div class=\"grid__item\">\n                Get completely natural color changes, done by pro designers for 99\u00a2 per image            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"grid__item action\">\n                <div class=\"btn-arrow btn-arrow-purple\">\n                    <a class=\"btn-path btn-path-blue\" href=\"https:\/\/pathedits.com\/pages\/color-variants\">Learn more<\/a>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Adds&nbsp;new life to your visual assets<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Removing background from your product shots gives you unlimited creative possibilities. You can use the product shots all across your marketing channels\u2014and even combine products in groups or add other design elements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, the original image of this machinery is completely unusable.

You can use moodboards to excite your customers by mixing and matching products, for example, to show an outfit idea that goes with current trends. Not only will you create extra hype around your brand, but it may inspire some customers to shop for the full look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can use websites like <a title=\"Canva\" href=\"https:\/\/www.canva.com\/templates\/?query=moodboard\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Canva<\/a>, <a title=\"Adobe Express\" href=\"https:\/\/www.adobe.com\/express\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Adobe Express<\/a>, and <a title=\"VistaCreate\" href=\"https:\/\/create.vista.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">VistaCreate<\/a> to design collages or moodboards for free.

You can be as creative or educational as you want with infographics\u2014whichever fits your brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, all-natural fabric and lifestyle brand <a title=\"Ettitude\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ettitude.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ettitude<\/a> has a simple graphic to highlight the benefits of its vegan silk loungewear against a cheaper and less sustainable alternative. Infographics like these are a handy way to <a title=\"how to repurpose product photos\" href=\"https:\/\/pathedits.com\/blogs\/tips\/how-repurpose-reuse-product-photography-tips\">repurpose your product shots<\/a>. And it makes a great alternative to using non-branded stock photos.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<img data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.pathedits.com\/Images\/posts\/how-to-use-background-removal-services-to-improve-your-product-photos\/ettitude-bamboo-vs-polyester-loungewear-comparison.png\" class=\"Sirv\" alt=\"Comparison of Ettitude's eco-friendly bamboo loungewear with a polyester option highlighting sustainability benefits\">\n\n\n\n<p><a title=\"Ettitude Instagram post\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Ch8eVIjtOWh\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Image source<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sell more with product bundles<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Product bundling is an effective way to boost sales. It involves promoting and packaging complementary products together and offering them as a single item. You can offer similar product bundles, promote gift sets, let customers mix and match, or upsell bundles of inventory you want to clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The female-founded fashion brand <a title=\"M M Lafleur\" href=\"https:\/\/mmlafleur.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">M.M.Lafleur<\/a> reported a <a title=\"bundling in retail\" href=\"https:\/\/www.shopify.com\/retail\/bundling-for-retail\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">20% increase in average order value<\/a> for bundled items, but you can use this sales tactic for any ecommerce business. So as long as you have product photos with removed backgrounds, you can create different variations of bundles in your store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, nature-inspired health and lifestyle store <a title=\"Fat and the Moon\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fatandthemoon.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fat and the Moon<\/a> uses bundles to sell skincare sets for different skin concerns. The brand also has product kits for travelers, children, and new mothers. If you need to change your bundles at any point, you can simply add or remove items from the product group shot and update the listing.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<img data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.pathedits.com\/Images\/posts\/how-to-use-background-removal-services-to-improve-your-product-photos\/fat-and-the-moon-high-dry-skin-care-set.png\" class=\"Sirv\" alt=\"Fat and the Moon High &amp; Dry Skin Care Set with Moon Milk, All Cream, and Sage &amp; Rose Face Mist for hydration\">\n\n\n\n<p><a title=\"Fat and the Moon product page\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fatandthemoon.com\/collections\/solstice-sets\/products\/high-dry-skin-care-set\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Image source<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Create lifestyle composites<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You may not always have the budget for custom photography shoots. This is where lifestyle composites can come in. They consist of a stock photo as a background and your product carefully placed in the shot. If done well, the result is realistic, and your customers wouldn\u2019t tell the difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a quick and cost-effective way to get new visuals for your brand without planning a photoshoot from scratch. You can order lifestyle composites from many ship-and-shoot photography studios\u2014all you have to do is mail your products, and the team takes care of photography and editing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the shot below, <a title=\"POW Photography\" href=\"https:\/\/www.powproductphotography.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Products On White Photography<\/a> used a lifestyle stock photo of a laundry room and added <a title=\"Meliora\" href=\"https:\/\/meliorameansbetter.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Meliora<\/a>\u00a0laundry detergent. Natural-looking shadows and the right product placement make the photo look as real as a \u201cregular\u201d photoshoot.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<img data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.pathedits.com\/Images\/posts\/how-to-use-background-removal-services-to-improve-your-product-photos\/meliora-oxygen-brightener-laundry.png\" class=\"Sirv\" alt=\"Meliora Oxygen Brightener on washing machine, an eco-friendly laundry bleach alternative\">\n\n\n\n<p>You can use composites for white background product shots too. Suppose you want your customers to be able to better gauge the dimensions of your product by adding a person to the photo. You can use this <a href=\"https:\/\/pathedits.com\/blogs\/tips\/what-is-photo-editing\">photo editing<\/a> method even on complex products like the industrial machinery unit below. The editor will first remove the background, change it to white, and then add a realistic-sized model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Build a library of visual assets for your team<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As your brand\u2019s digital assets grow\u2014from unedited product shots to cutouts to creative brand images\u2014it makes sense to consider a streamlined workflow for saving and managing your visuals. It will be easier for everyone in the company to filter, search, and track all past orders and uses of photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only will a system like this speed up content creation for your marketing team, but you will also avoid paying twice for something your brand already owns. There are more ways than one to <a title=\"digital asset management tips\" href=\"https:\/\/pathedits.com\/blogs\/tips\/digital-asset-management-how-to-organize-product-photography-files\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">organize your files<\/a>. From simple libraries on the cloud storage to more sophisticated digital asset management (DAM) software, the choice is yours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Giving new life to product photos<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With so many options for using background removal to spice up your product photos, the hardest choice is deciding where to begin.
