Why Product Photography Matters for E-commerce

In e-commerce, your product photos ARE your product. Customers can't touch, feel, or try items before buying – they rely entirely on your images to make purchasing decisions.

Research from eBay shows that listings with high-quality photos sell 5% faster and for higher prices than those with amateur images. On Amazon, products with zoom-enabled images (requiring 1000px+) see significantly higher conversion rates.

E-commerce Photo Best Practices

  • Pure White Background: Required for Amazon main images and industry standard across platforms.
  • High Resolution: Minimum 1000px for zoom; 2000px+ recommended for crisp display.
  • Consistent Sizing: All products in your store should use the same image dimensions.
  • Multiple Angles: Show front, back, sides, and details to reduce customer uncertainty.

E-commerce Photo FAQ

What are Amazon product image requirements?

Amazon requires main images to have a pure white background (RGB 255,255,255), be at least 1000px on the longest side for zoom functionality, and fill 85% of the frame with the product. File formats: JPEG, PNG, GIF, or TIFF. No watermarks, text, or logos on the main image.

How do I create a pure white background for product photos?

Use our AI Background Remover to automatically extract your product, then export with a white background. This is faster and more consistent than trying to photograph on white – even professional studios often remove backgrounds digitally.

What image size works for Shopify product photos?

Shopify recommends square images (1:1 ratio) at 2048x2048 pixels for optimal display. This size works well for zoom features and looks great on all devices. Keep file sizes under 20MB for fast loading.

How many product images should I have per listing?

Most marketplaces allow 7-10 images per listing. Use all available slots: main product shot, multiple angles, lifestyle images, size comparisons, and detail close-ups. More images typically lead to higher conversion rates.

What's the difference between main and secondary product images?

Main images (usually the first image) must follow strict guidelines: white background, no props, product-only. Secondary images can include lifestyle shots, infographics, size charts, and product-in-use scenarios.
