How to make white-background product photos with your phone

Make white-background product photos on Android

1. 1

   Shoot in soft, even light

   Window daylight or an overcast sky, the product in focus and filling most of the frame. A plain backdrop that contrasts with the product gives the cleanest cutout.

2. 2

   Choose one photo or a batch

   For a single product, tap New image. For a series, open Batch processing and select up to 30 photos.

3. 3

   Put the product on white

   In the editor, apply the E-commerce quick style or choose white in Background. In a batch, White is the default shared background.

4. 4

   Use a square canvas

   Marketplaces show square thumbnails, so a 1:1 canvas — the batch default — lines every listing up.

5. 5

   Adjust individual photos

   In a batch, tap any photo to give it its own background, canvas or framing without touching the others.

6. 6

   Export

   JPG for listings, PNG if you need transparency for a design. HD (2160 px) is comfortably above what marketplaces ask for. Save the whole batch in one tap.

Why a white background

A plain white background removes distractions, makes a set of listings look consistent, and is the rule on some marketplaces: Amazon, for example, requires a pure white background (RGB 255, 255, 255) for a product’s main image. Even where it is not required, one consistent background across a shop reads as professional.

Shooting tips that make the cutout better

• Contrast: a light product on a darker backdrop, or the opposite.
• No flash and no hard shadows — they blur the line between product and background.
• Leave a margin around the product so no edge touches the frame.
• Shoot straight on, at the product’s height, for a natural catalogue look.
• Glass and shiny objects: shoot them against a contrasting backdrop so their outline stays visible, then check the edge in Refine.

Beyond white: lifestyle shots

For social posts, banners or a shop’s home page, a studio scene — grey studio, warm beige, blurred office, brick wall, nature, night bokeh — or a gradient gives the product some context without a photo shoot.
