Remove the background from product photos

Clean product images sell: a single subject on a neutral or transparent background looks consistent across a catalogue and works on any page. cutoutpic isolates the product on your device — your unreleased items never go to a server — and gives you a transparent PNG to drop into listings, ads and mock-ups.

Choose an export for Etsy or Shopify

  • Etsy does not support transparent PNGs. Choose JPG with a solid background, and retain an unedited product photo.
  • Shopify recommends 2048 × 2048 px for square product photos.

CutoutPic background removal is capped at 1280 px on the longer side. Keep your original for larger listing images; converting or enlarging the cutout cannot restore detail.

How to cut out a product image

  1. Photograph the product on a plain, evenly lit surface. Contrast with the background matters more than megapixels.

  2. Drop the JPEG, PNG or WebP into cutoutpic. The subject is detected automatically — there is nothing to select.

  3. For a white background, choose JPG in the export settings and set the background to white (#ffffff). Check the destination platform’s image requirements separately. Turning an opaque white background transparent requires background removal, not just format conversion.

What works well and what does not

  • Works well: a single item with a clear outline — bottles, boxes, shoes, bags, electronics, ceramics — on a plain background.
  • Harder: glass and transparent objects, chrome and mirrors (the model sees the reflection as part of the scene), thin straps, mesh and lace.
  • Shadows: a hard shadow that touches the product is often kept as part of it. Diffuse light or a slight lift off the surface avoids this.
  • Multiple items: the model tends to keep all prominent objects; if you want one, crop before you start.

Marketplace background rules

Check each marketplace’s current image rules. A transparent PNG alone does not establish compliance. Keep the original photograph.

Resolution and batch work

The free preview is capped at 1280 px on the longer side, which is enough for most listing thumbnails and web use; hero images and print need more, and a paid full-resolution export is planned for that. Images are processed one at a time — drop the next one as soon as the previous download is done.

Questions about this use

Can I use this for Amazon listing images?

For a white background, choose JPG in the export settings and set the background to white (#ffffff). Check the destination platform’s image requirements separately. Turning an opaque white background transparent requires background removal, not just format conversion.

Will it remove the shadow under my product?

Sometimes. A soft, detached shadow is usually removed; a hard shadow touching the product is often kept. Shoot with diffuse light, or clean the shadow up afterwards.

Are my product photos kept anywhere?

No — the free preview uploads nothing, so there is nothing for us to keep.
