How to Use the Product Background Editor
Step 1: Upload Your Product Image
Click to upload or drag and drop your product image. For best results:
- Use PNG images with transparent backgrounds
- Ensure good lighting on the original photo
- Center your product in the frame
- Use high-resolution images (1000x1000px or larger)
Pro tip: If your product doesn't have a transparent background, use a background remover tool first, then import it here for professional editing.
Step 2: Choose a Template or Customize
Option A: Use a Template
- Click the "Templates" button at the top
- Browse templates by category (E-commerce, Social Media, Minimal, Creative)
- Click any template to apply it instantly
- Templates automatically set background, shadow, lighting, and aspect ratio
Option B: Customize from Scratch
- Select your aspect ratio
- Choose background type (Solid, Gradient, or Image)
- Adjust shadow settings
- Fine-tune lighting
Step 3: Add Shadow Effects
Shadows make your product look professional and three-dimensional:
- Click the "Shadow" tab in the editor controls
- Toggle shadow on/off
- Choose a preset (Subtle, Medium, Strong, Dramatic)
- Or customize blur, opacity, offset, and color manually
Shadow Tips:
- Use subtle shadows for clean, minimal looks
- Medium shadows work for most products
- Strong shadows add dramatic emphasis
- Adjust vertical offset to control shadow direction (above/below)
Step 4: Adjust Lighting
Perfect your product lighting:
- Click the "Lighting" tab
