Step-by-Step Guide
Photograph your product at home
Take clear photos of your product with good lighting. Natural light near a window works best. Shoot against a plain background — AI will handle the rest.
Generate a white background main image
Upload your photo to PixelPanda and remove the background. Use the white background option for your first listing photo — clean and professional.
Create lifestyle scene shots
Use PixelPanda's scene generation to place your product in lifestyle settings — kitchen counters, cozy living rooms, outdoor scenes. These are your secondary listing images.
Add model shots if relevant
For wearable products, use PixelPanda's 110+ AI models to show your items being worn or held. This helps buyers visualize the product in their life.
Upload all images to your listing
Upload your white-background main image first, then lifestyle shots, then detail views. Fill all 10 image slots for maximum conversion.
