How to Prepare Your Product for a Shoot

Great product images start before the camera clicks. Here’s how to get your products ready:

  • Clean and polish your product — remove dust, fingerprints, and packaging residue
  • Prepare multiple angles: front, back, side, and detail shots
  • Have your brand colors and style references ready to share
  • If shipping physical products, pack them securely to avoid damage in transit

How to Brief a Designer

A clear brief saves time and gets you better results. Include the following when submitting your project:

  • Product name and category — what it is and who it’s for
  • Target platform — Amazon, Shopify, Instagram, etc.
  • Brand guidelines — logo, colors, fonts, tone of voice
  • Reference images — styles you like and styles to avoid
  • Key selling points — what makes your product stand out

Amazon Listing Image Requirements

Make sure your images meet Amazon’s technical standards before submission:

  • Main image: pure white background (RGB 255, 255, 255), product fills 85%+ of frame
  • Minimum 1000px on the longest side (recommended: 2000px+)
  • File formats: JPEG, PNG, or TIFF
  • No watermarks, logos, or text on the main image
  • Up to 9 images per listing — use all slots for maximum impact

Before & After: What Good Retouching Looks Like

Professional retouching goes beyond basic edits. Here’s what we improve:

  • Background — clean white or lifestyle scene, no distractions
  • Color accuracy — true-to-life tones that match the physical product
  • Shadow & reflection — natural-looking depth and grounding
  • Detail enhancement — sharpening textures, removing blemishes
  • Consistency — uniform look across all images in a set

Choosing the Right Package

  • Starter ($299/mo) — Best for sellers with a small catalog who need clean, professional main images fast. Ideal for new stores getting started on Amazon or Shopify.
  • Standard ($599/mo) — Best for growing brands that need a full content suite — main images, A+ content, and social media creatives. Our most popular plan.
  • Enterprise ($1,099/mo) — Best for established brands with high volume, multiple product categories, and a need for dedicated designer support and photography.
