How it works

An AI model finds the product, and the old background’s colour is cleaned out of its soft edges, so a bottle shot against a green wall keeps no green rim. Keep the transparency, or put the product on white, a colour, an image of yours or its own photo blurred. Crop to it with a margin, or place it on a canvas of any size, standing or centred, with a contact or drop shadow and a reflection.

You choose
  • Background: Transparent, White, Colour, Its own photo, blurred, An image of yours
  • Blur
  • Background image
  • Size: As the photo, Cropped, Canvas
  • Margin around it
  • Canvas width
  • Canvas height
  • The product fills: 95%, 85%, 75%, 60%, 50%
  • Place it: Centred, Standing, Hanging
  • Shadow: None, Contact, Drop
  • A reflection under it
It takes
One photo at a time, or a whole folder at once in the browser.
You get
A PNG with transparency, or a JPEG on white or your colour.
