Quick answer
How do you put a product on a white background?
To put a product on a white background, upload the photo to Kenerate, cut it out with Cutout — or Object Pick to keep one item — choose the white backdrop and download. For Amazon main images, the background must be pure white (RGB 255, 255, 255) and the product should fill about 85% of the frame.

Step by step
How do I make a product photo's background white?
Step 1: Upload the product photo
Any background works — a table, a bed, a street.
Step 2: Cut out the product
Cutout for simple products; Object Pick to keep just one item when others are in the shot.
Tip: Other things in the shot? Object Pick keeps only what you name — “the watch”.
Step 3: Pick the white backdrop
Choose white before downloading. The product sits on pure #FFFFFF.
Step 4: Crop to fill the frame
For Amazon, crop so the product fills about 85% of the image.

AI vs lightbox vs editing by hand
A lightbox helps, but it rarely gives true 255 white on its own.
| Kenerate · AI cut-out | Lightbox shoot · in camera | Photoshop · mask + fill | |
|---|---|---|---|
| True RGB 255 white | Yes | Rarely without editing | Yes |
| Works on photos you already have | Yes | No | Yes |
| Time per photo | About 5 s | Setup + shoot | 3–10 min |
| Batch | Up to 20 at once | One set-up per shoot | Actions, by hand |

Check the edge on white
White backgrounds show grey fringes and halos. Zoom in: the kurti's edge meets the white cleanly.
- No grey or coloured fringe
- Soft, natural shadow under the product
- Background is pure #FFFFFF
Better product shots
How do I shoot products for a white background?
- Even, soft light. A big window or two soft lights avoids hard shadows you'd have to remove.
- Contrast helps. A white product cuts out cleaner if it wasn't shot on white.
- Straight-on and sharp. Use the timer or a phone stand; blur can't be fixed later.
- Leave room. Keep a margin around the product so you can crop to ~85% fill.

Upload it to Kenerate, cut out the subject, choose the white backdrop and download. It takes a few seconds; use Cutout HD for hair and fine edges.
Link to this answerWhat white does Amazon require?
Amazon's product image guide asks for a pure white background — RGB 255, 255, 255 — on main images, with the product filling about 85% of the frame.
Link to this answerWhy was my Amazon image rejected for the background?
Usually because the background is off-white or grey (for example 250, 250, 250 from a lightbox), or a shadow or prop touches the edge. Cutting out and placing on pure white fixes it.
Link to this answerCan I keep a soft shadow under the product?
A light, natural shadow under the product is common. Keep it subtle and don't let it reach the edges of the image.
Link to this answerCan I do many product photos at once?
Yes. Edit Studio's batch mode runs up to 20 photos at once, including background removal.
Link to this answerIs a white background good for Etsy, eBay and Shopify?
It's the safest choice for main or thumbnail images on most marketplaces, and it keeps a store's grid consistent. Check each platform's current image rules.
Link to this answerCan I put a portrait on a white background?
Yes — headshots, team pages and profile photos work the same way; use Cutout HD for hair. Not for passports or visas: the US, UK and India require an original photo that hasn't been altered by software, so take a new photo against a plain background instead.

What the marketplaces say
Pure white is required on some platforms and recommended on the rest:
- Amazon — product shots should in most cases be against white (RGB 255, 255, 255), with the product filling at least 85% of the frame [1].
- Walmart Marketplace — seamless white (255/255/255), square 1:1, 2200 × 2200 px recommended, no watermarks, logos or promo claims on the main image [2].
- Google Merchant Center — a solid white or transparent background, product filling 75–90% of the image, no watermarks, logos, borders or promotional text [3].
- eBay — recommends a white or neutral background; no added borders, text or watermarks [4][5].
- Shopify — recommends a pure white background, a paper sweep, and retouching the background to pure white in editing [6].
“Almost white” isn't white
A photo shot on white paper usually comes out light grey, with a shadow at the bottom. Marketplaces that ask for RGB 255, 255, 255 mean exactly that — which is why sellers either retouch the background or, as here, cut the product out and place it on pure white. Google Merchant Center also warns that light-coloured products on a transparent background may be shown on black, so white is safer than transparent for pale items [3].
Shooting for a cleaner cut-out
Where you can't use an edited white background
Official ID photos are different. The UK asks for a plain, light-coloured background and a photo unaltered by computer software [8], and the US and India have similar no-editing rules. For passports and visas, take a new photo against a plain wall rather than editing the background.
