What is Shopify product image editing?
It's the work between the shoot and the product page: cutting the product out, cleaning it, correcting its color, adding a believable shadow and exporting it at the size Shopify wants. Done right, every product in your store looks like it came from one studio.

Why outsource Shopify image editing instead of hiring in-house?
An in-house editor is great for creative direction. Repetitive product edits are where an outside team saves time, money and stress.
| What matters | In-house editing | Clipping Path Service |
|---|---|---|
| Cost model | Salary, software licenses, a workstation and hiring time, whether or not there are images to edit. | Pay per image, from $1 for simple cutouts. No salary, no software, no idle time. |
| Launch and sale peaks | Capacity stops at one or two people, so a big drop means a backlog. | 200+ retouchers behind your account, with more editors added when volume spikes. |
| Turnaround | Depends on the queue, holidays and sick days. | 20-hour overnight delivery included, with rush options down to 1 hour. |
| Consistency | Depends on one person's judgment, and drifts when staff change. | A written style guide, reference-matched batches and a 3-step quality check. |
| Skill coverage | One editor rarely masters hair, glass, jewelry, ghost mannequin and shadows alike. | Specialists for each job, so complex products don't slow the batch. |
| Management time | You brief, review and fix the work yourself. | You send files and approve the result. Revisions are free. |
| Continuity | Know-how leaves with the person. | Your style guide stays with your account, whoever is editing. |

What is a Shopify image editing service?
It's a team that edits your product photos so they're ready for your Shopify store. That covers background removal, retouching and cleanup, color correction, shadows and resizing to Shopify's recommended sizes, delivered in batches you can upload straight to your catalog.
What size should Shopify product images be?
Shopify recommends 2048 x 2048 px for square product images, with a maximum file size of 20 MB and JPEG as the ideal file type. The key rule is consistency: use one aspect ratio across your products so collection pages show an even grid. We deliver to this spec by default and can work to your theme's sizes instead.
Can you remove the background from my Shopify product images?
Yes. Every cutout is drawn by hand with the Pen Tool, then delivered on pure white, transparent or a brand-color background. Hair, fabric edges, glass and jewelry get the same care as simple products. See the clipping path service ›
Do you do Shopify product image retouching?
Yes. We remove dust, scratches, wrinkles, glare, fingerprints and stray threads and fix shape and symmetry without making the product look fake. Apparel, jewelry, cosmetics, furniture and electronics are all covered. See the retouching service ›
How do you keep colors and style consistent across my store?
We agree a style guide with you on the free test images: background value, margins, shadow style and color references. Every image in every batch follows it, and a senior reviewer checks each set for consistency before delivery.
Can you add shadows to my product photos?
Yes. We add natural, drop or reflection shadows so products look grounded on the page, with the same direction and softness across the catalog. See shadow creation ›
Can you edit images in bulk for my store or my agency's clients?
Yes. We handle anything from a handful of products to full catalog migrations, with a dedicated project manager, delivery to your cloud folder, SFTP or DAM, and an NDA on request. Agencies and developers can send batches for several stores under separate style guides.
How fast is turnaround?
20-hour overnight delivery is included at no extra cost. When a launch can't wait, 10-hour, 4-hour and 1-hour rush options are available for a surcharge. See the pricing page for current rates.
How much does Shopify product photo editing cost?
Pricing is per image and depends on complexity, starting from $1 for simple cutouts, with add-ons like shadows and color correction priced per image. Send 3 images free to see the quality first, then get a quote for your full catalog. See pricing ›
Do you use AI to edit my images?
No. Clipping paths and retouching are done by trained editors, then reviewed by a senior editor. Automated cutouts often leave halos and soft edges that show up when shoppers zoom in on a product page.
Can you name files to match my Shopify product names?
Yes. File names, folders and formats follow your system, for example descriptive names built from product, color and angle, which also helps image SEO.
Who owns the edited files, and can I ask for revisions?
Revisions are free. You own 100% of every delivered file for commercial use, and we sign an NDA on request before your files move.
