White Background for a Product Photo
Marketplaces run on white backgrounds — Amazon's main image requires one, and Shopify, Etsy and eBay listings all convert better when the product floats on clean white instead of the kitchen table it was photographed on. Shooting on a proper white sweep takes space, lights and practice; cutting the product out by hand takes patience most sellers don't have.
Hermosso does it from the photo you already took, two ways. The Background Remover cuts the product out to a transparent PNG in one run — drop it onto any white listing template and it reads as a studio shot. Or use the image editor with an instruction — "replace the background with a seamless white studio backdrop" — and the photo is re-rendered with the product sitting in proper white, soft shadow included. Free with your 750 signup credits — you'll be asked to sign in when you run it.
Two ways to a white background
- Cutout (50 credits) — upload to the Background Remover, get a transparent PNG with the product isolated down to fine detail. Place it on white in your shop template, listing tool or any editor.
- Direct swap (100 credits) — in the image editor, instruct "replace the background with a seamless white studio backdrop" and the scene is re-rendered in place, lighting and contact shadow adjusted to match.
- Finish — upscale the result if the original came out small, so the listing stays sharp at zoom.
What it costs
A background-removal run is 50 credits, a direct white-backdrop edit is 100 credits — and new accounts get 750 free credits on signup, so your first 15 cutouts are free, no card required. After that, plans start at $9/month for 5,000 credits.
The tools for it

How do I get a white background for Amazon or Etsy?
Run the photo through the Background Remover and place the transparent PNG on a pure white canvas — that satisfies Amazon's main-image requirement and Etsy's clean-listing look. Or instruct the image editor to swap the backdrop to seamless white directly.
Is the white background tool free?
The tools are free to open and browse; running one asks you to sign in. New accounts get 750 free credits — a cutout is 50 credits, so your first 15 product photos are free, no card required.
Transparent PNG or white background — which do I want?
The transparent PNG is the flexible asset: it drops onto white for marketplaces today and onto lifestyle scenes or brand colours tomorrow. The direct white swap is faster when the listing is the only destination and you want the natural contact shadow rendered in.
Does it handle tricky edges like glass, fur or jewellery?
Modern cutout models handle fine edges far better than manual selection. Glass and reflections are the hardest case — check the result at full zoom, and use the image editor's white-backdrop swap when the cutout struggles, since it re-renders the scene rather than cutting it.
