How to make one with SnapStudio

1. Take the photo in soft, even light (a window on an overcast day is ideal). Fill most of the frame with the product and keep the whole item in shot.
2. Open SnapStudio and drop the photo in. The background is removed in your browser; the image is never uploaded to a server.
3. Pick a background (pure white #FFFFFF, any solid colour, or a soft gradient) and toggle the subtle shadow and lighting cleanup.
4. Tick the export sizes you need and download the JPGs (plus a transparent PNG cutout) individually or as a ZIP.

Use the Amazon (2000×2000 white) or Shopify (2048×2048) export for eBay; both exceed the 1600 px recommendation. For used items, keep honest close-ups of wear in your extra photos.
