Product photography at home
You do not need a studio. A window, a sheet of white paper and a phone can give you photos that are easy to put on pure white.

Take a better source photo
- Place the product on a plain, light surface, like a sheet of white paper.
- Use soft, even light so there are few hard shadows around the product.
- Keep the whole product in frame and shoot from a little further away than you think.
- Hold the camera level and use the highest resolution your phone offers.
A simple setup
- Place a table next to a window and tape a large sheet of white paper so it curves from the table up the wall, without a hard edge.
- Put the product on the paper and use soft daylight. Avoid direct sun, which makes hard shadows.
- Use a tripod or lean the phone on something steady, at the same height as the product.
- Shoot from a little further away than you think, so the whole product fits with room to crop.
- Take photos from a few angles and keep the sharpest.
Then make the background pure white
Upload your photo above, choose the marketplace and the tool replaces the background with pure white and sizes the product. A plain, light surface under the product gives the cleanest result.
Questions
Do I need a lightbox?
No, but a small lightbox or a white foam board can make the light softer and more even. Daylight from a window is often enough.
Should I use a flash?
Direct flash often creates hard shadows and reflections. Soft daylight usually looks better.
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything runs on your device, and the tool does not download any extra files to process your photo.
Does it work with any background?
It works best when the product sits on a plain or softly shaded background. Busy backgrounds, like patterned fabric or wood grain, are hard. If some background is left, raise the tolerance or click it in the original photo to pick its color.
Will Amazon accept the photo?
The tool makes the background pure white (RGB 255, 255, 255) and sizes the product to fill the frame, which are the main rules for Amazon's main image. Acceptance still depends on your photo and category, so check Amazon's current guidelines.
What size should I choose for Etsy?
Etsy's recommendations vary between its help pages. A 4:3 photo and a square photo are both common, so choose the shape you use across your listings and keep it the same for every photo.
