How background removal is done
You send your photo
Your product, with whatever was behind it when the photo was taken.
We trace around the product
An editor draws a line by hand along the product's edge, all the way round.
We lift it out
Everything outside the line is removed, so only the product is left, with clean edges.
Ready on any background
Put it on white, keep it see-through, or use your brand color. A second editor checks every image.
Why manual studio background removal converts higher than automated apps.
Automated cutout apps leave fuzzy halos, erase fine product details, and get Amazon listings flagged. See how manual studio craftsmanship compares.
| Feature | Reframe Studio | Automated AI Apps | Offshore Gig Sites |
|---|---|---|---|
| Edge Cleanliness | Manual Pen Tool & Alpha Masking (clean, crisp borders) | Algorithm guesswork (fringing and halo blur) | Inconsistent manual cut quality |
| Hair & Fur Detailing | Channel-based hair preservation with manual touch-up | Clumpy, sheared edges that lose natural strands | Often clipped with hard, unnatural borders |
| Transparent & Glass Objects | True alpha transparency preserving reflections | Treats glass as solid opaque or deletes it | Variable transparency handling |
| Marketplace Pure White (#FFFFFF) | Guaranteed 100% pure RGB 255,255,255 | Often leaves 250-254 off-white artifacts | Inconsistent background calibration |
| Layer Structure | Layered PSD / transparent PNG / saved paths | Single flattened output only | Flat JPEG or single unorganized layer |
| Quality Control | Two-editor review on every image before export | Zero QA checks | Single worker self-review |

Probably the best team I have worked with, and I use the platform very very often. Awesome pricing & highest possible result. Everything done to the smallest details. They really know how to use PS. Will definitely work with them in the long run.

Ecommerce background removal isolates the product from its original backdrop, placing it on calibrated pure white (#FFFFFF / RGB 255,255,255) for marketplace compliance, rendering it on transparent PNG for web use, or preparing it for custom lifestyle composite backgrounds.
For intricate, semi-transparent edges, our senior retouchers use advanced alpha channel masking, layer luminosity separation, and soft-edge feathering rather than simple hard clipping. This preserves flyaway hairs, realistic fur texture, and liquid transparency without harsh cut marks.
Yes. All white-background outputs are calibrated to pure white (RGB 255, 255, 255 / #FFFFFF), satisfying Amazon main image requirements and Shopify catalog standards with zero risk of suppressed listings.
Yes. We can retain the original studio shadow during extraction or rebuild a subtle, realistic contact shadow beneath the product to prevent it from looking unnaturally detached from the surface.
We deliver in JPEG (pure white background, sRGB IEC61966-2.1), PNG (32-bit transparent alpha), layered PSD, or TIFF with alpha channels intact at your required resolution.
Standard catalog batches of 500 to 2,500+ images are turned around within 24 hours. For critical studio launches, rush 12-hour turnaround is available upon request.
Both leave you with the product on a new background. A clipping path is a hand-drawn vector outline, best for hard edges such as bags, electronics and furniture, and it stays in the file for later edits. Background removal also covers masking for hair, fur, glass and soft or semi-transparent edges. Mixed batch? Send it as one job and tell us which images are soft-edged, or start with the free samples.
Simple ($0.39): a solid product with clean edges. Medium ($0.78): some curves, small gaps or a busy backdrop. Advanced ($1.25): fine detail, mesh, fringe or low contrast between product and background. Complex ($2.50): hair, fur, glass or other see-through areas that need careful masking. Prices are per image at 24h Standard.
We deliver the product on pure white (RGB 255, 255, 255) when you ask for it, with clean edges. Whether a listing is approved also depends on Amazon's rules for framing (the product should fill about 85% of the frame), props, text and logos, so check their current image guide before you shoot. Tell us the marketplace in your brief and we match the background.
No. Cutting the product out removes the shadow it was photographed with, so it floats on the new background. If you want it grounded, add Shadow Creation (from $0.35). Shadow Creation is a separate service, so say so in the brief.
White JPG for marketplace main images. Transparent PNG when the cutout goes on other backgrounds: ads, banners, social posts, lifestyle composites. PSD keeps the cutout editable, and TIFF suits print. You can ask for more than one format per image. Higher-resolution originals give cleaner edges, and we accept RAW, TIFF, PSD, PNG, JPG and WebP.
Send 3 images for free sample edits and judge the edges at 100% zoom. After delivery you have 14 days to ask for corrections, and we adjust masking and edges until they fit your guidelines at no charge.
