What is a clipping path?
A clipping path is a vector outline drawn around a product with Photoshop's Pen Tool. Everything inside the path stays. Everything outside is removed, so the product can sit on pure white, a transparent background or a new scene.
Because the path is vector, the edge stays sharp at any size, from a marketplace thumbnail to a print catalog.
Hair, fur or glass need a softer edge than a path can give. That's a job for image masking. See Photoshop masking ›
Every curve. Every hole. Every strap.
Hard-edged products are where a hand-drawn path beats any one-click cutout. Real files from our editors.

Read the full FAQ ›What does a clipping path service do?
We draw a vector path around your product by hand, then deliver it cut out on white, on a transparent background, or with the path saved in the file for your team to use.
Clipping path or image masking: which do I need?
Hard, defined edges like shoes, bags, bottles and jewelry need a clipping path. Soft or see-through edges like hair, fur, glass and lace need image masking. Not sure? Send the image and we'll tell you.
How long does it take?
48-hour and 20-hour overnight delivery are included. 10-hour, 4-hour and 1-hour rush are available for launches that can't wait.
Do you use AI to cut the path?
No. Every path is drawn with the Pen Tool by a trained editor and checked in 3 steps.
How do you handle holes, chains and fine detail?
Every inner gap is traced and removed. Complex pieces like chain necklaces and mesh go to senior editors.
Will my images meet Amazon and Shopify rules?
Yes. Paths are built for pure white (#FFFFFF) or transparent backgrounds, cropped to each marketplace's size and margin rules.
What files do I get back?
White-background JPEG, transparent PSD or TIFF, layer mask, or path only. Layered PSDs come with named paths.
Can you follow our style guide?
Yes. Share reference images, spacing rules, shadow preferences and edge tolerance. We apply them to every image in every batch.
Can I ask for revisions, and who owns the files?
Revisions are free. You own 100% of every delivered file, for commercial or editorial use.
