E-commerce Image Editing
Marketplace-ready crops, sizing and consistency for Amazon, Shopify and your PIM — one master file turned into every channel specification you publish to.
- From $0.30 per image
- Typical delivery 24–48h
- Revisions included in the rate
- Layered files kept intact
What e-commerce image editing is
Every marketplace has its own rules, and they do not agree with each other. Amazon wants pure white with the product filling most of the frame. Shopify wants square. Your own site wants something wider with room for a caption. Google Shopping has its own margin requirements. One shoot has to satisfy all of them.
E-commerce image editing is the end-to-end preparation that makes that happen: cut-out, background, shadow, colour, crop, margin, resolution, file format and naming, applied to a written specification per channel rather than eyeballed per image.
The naming and metadata matter as much as the pixels. Files that arrive as SKU-01.jpg through SKU-08.jpg in the order your PIM expects can be imported. Files that arrive as IMG_4471.jpg cannot, no matter how good the retouching is.
Who it is for
- E-commerce teams onboarding a catalogue to a new marketplace or platform.
- Brands selling the same range across several channels with conflicting specs.
- Agencies running e-commerce accounts for clients with large SKU counts.
- Retailers consolidating supplier-provided imagery into one house standard.
- Anyone whose product images are rejected at upload for spec violations.
What a channel-ready file involves
Cut-out & background
Hand-drawn paths and the exact background each channel requires.
Crop & margin
Per-channel framing and product-to-frame ratios applied to a written spec.
Colour consistency
Product colour held to reference across the range and across shoot dates.
Naming & formats
Your naming convention, your folder structure, every format your PIM ingests.
See this work in context
E-commerce editing is judged at upload, not on a single frame — a set either clears the channel’s specification across every SKU or it does not. The cut-out, ghost mannequin and shadow examples in our portfolio are all stages of this same pipeline, shown one operation at a time.
Most of what we produce is delivered white-label and published under our clients’ names, so only cleared work appears in the public portfolio. If you need to see something closer to your own sector, ask — we can usually share a relevant example privately, under NDA if you prefer.

Frequently asked questions
Do you know the marketplace requirements already?
We work to Amazon, Shopify, eBay, Etsy and Google Shopping specifications regularly, and we will confirm the current requirements with you before a batch rather than assuming. If you have an internal spec document, send it and we work to that instead.
Can you handle our file naming and folder structure?
Yes, and it is worth telling us up front. Naming is part of the written spec for your account, so files arrive ready to import rather than needing a rename pass at your end.
How long does a batch take?
Typical delivery is 24–48 hours, depending on image quantity, complexity, resolution and quality requirements. Larger catalogue drops are booked into a scheduled slot so you get a committed date rather than an estimate, and rush work can usually be accommodated if you tell us the deadline up front.
How is e-commerce image editing priced?
Per image, starting from $0.30, adjusted for complexity and volume. Recurring accounts are quoted after a test batch so the rate reflects your actual files rather than an average. Send a representative sample and we will tell you which tier your work falls into before you commit.
What do you need from me to start?
The files, the output you need, and any reference. If you have approved finals from a previous shoot, send two or three — we will match those rather than applying our own defaults, and we write what we derive into a style guide reused on every batch that follows.
Are revisions included?
Yes. If a file did not match the written spec, correcting it is our cost, not a second charge. Revisions are part of the rate.
Need more clarity?
Ask us anything about the work, the process or the commercials — you will get a straight answer from a person, not a sales sequence.
