How to Prepare Photos for Marketplaces

Practical pre-processing checklist for product image quality before background removal.

Definition

Pre-processing improves segmentation quality and reduces artifacts in final transparent exports.

Use even lighting, avoid deep shadows, and separate product color from the backdrop.

Crop major empty margins and keep the main subject in clear focus.

Inspect edges at 200% zoom and validate listing dimensions and format requirements.

Does source quality matter?

Yes. Better source quality directly improves segmentation output.

What format should I upload?

PNG, JPG, and WebP are common starting formats.
