Step-by-Step Guide

1

Photograph your products

Take clear photos of each product with decent lighting. A smartphone in natural light is enough — AI handles the background and styling.

Pro Tip: Consistency matters more than perfection. Use the same lighting setup for all products.
2

Remove backgrounds for clean product shots

Upload to PixelPanda and remove backgrounds. Use white or transparent backgrounds for your main product images.

Pro Tip: Shopify themes look best with consistent backgrounds across all products.
3

Generate lifestyle and scene images

Use scene generation to create lifestyle shots for product pages. Place products in realistic settings that match your brand — modern, rustic, minimal, etc.

Pro Tip: Use lifestyle images for your homepage banners and collection pages too.
4

Create collection-consistent imagery

Use the same scene templates and backgrounds across each product collection for a cohesive store aesthetic.

Pro Tip: Consistent imagery across collections improves perceived brand quality and trust.
5

Upload to Shopify

Upload your images directly to Shopify product pages. Use the clean product shot as the main image and lifestyle shots as gallery images.
