Frequently Asked Questions

5 questions answered

Does Amazon require white backgrounds on product photos?

Yes — Amazon requires the main product image to have a pure white background (RGB 255, 255, 255) with the product filling at least 85% of the frame. Additional images can show lifestyle or detail shots without a white background.

What are Etsy's image requirements?

Etsy recommends square images at 2000×2000px minimum. While Etsy doesn't mandate white backgrounds, clean backgrounds (white or light colored) consistently outperform cluttered backgrounds in conversion data.

How do I add a white background to the transparent PNG?

After downloading the transparent PNG, open it in any image editor (Photoshop, GIMP, Canva, or even Windows Paint). Create a new white layer behind the product layer and flatten the image. Then save as JPG for Amazon (which doesn't support PNG transparency) or keep as PNG for other platforms.

Can it handle reflective or glossy products?

Reflective products (glassware, jewelry, metallic surfaces) are harder for AI background removal because reflections blend the product edge with the background. Results vary — glossy black products against white backgrounds work well; mirrored surfaces on dark backgrounds are more challenging.

Is this free for commercial use?

Yes. ImgToolkit applies no usage restrictions and no watermarks. The output belongs to you.
