Product Photography with Your Phone

E-commerce ready photos β€” no studio needed.

1. White Background

A sheet of white paper or poster board can create a simple, consistent background. Review the result at the final crop before publishing.

2. Window Light + Diffuser

Place the product near a window and use a diffuser for softer light. Check the result for unintended color casts and harsh shadows.

3. Use a Tripod

Consistency matters for e-commerce. Keep angle, distance, and lighting repeatable across the set.

4. Multiple Angles

Show only the views that accurately represent the product, its scale, and its important details. Check each marketplace's current image rules before listing.

5. Edit Carefully

Use modest brightness, contrast, and sharpening changes. Preserve product color and details rather than optimizing to a fixed percentage.

6. Background Workflow

If you try the local background experiment, review edges and transparency manually before relying on it for a listing.

7. Resize for Platform

Check each destination's current image dimensions and file rules before export; marketplace requirements can change.

8. Repeatable Exports

For a larger set, use only the browser workflows you can verify on the current device, then inspect each exported file before upload.

Product photo workflow

Use the available local browser tools as experiments, then review every export before publishing it.
