Remove Image Backgrounds for Product Photos

Marketplaces reward uniform lighting and alpha channels. Here is how we cut shoes, bottles, and tricky hair in one pass.

Light your subject evenly

Soft boxes beat ring lights for specular products. Fix highlights before masking.

Export transparent PNG

Keep 2048 px on the long edge when possible—Zoom-friendly without bloating email.

Watch halo artifacts

Feather edges 0.5–1 px when the platform flattens to JPEG.

# Quick local QC with ImageMagick (optional)

Pair this workflow with image resizing before you upload.
