Every e-commerce seller faces the same challenge: product photos taken in real environments need clean, professional backgrounds for marketplace listings. Whether you're selling on Amazon (which requires white backgrounds), Shopify, or any other platform, the quality of your product images directly impacts sales.
Traditional solutions involve either hiring professional photographers, learning complex tools like Photoshop, or settling for inconsistent, unprofessional images. Each approach has significant drawbacks in terms of cost, time, or quality.
