transparent or lifestyle
Etsy is flexible on backgrounds — you choose transparent PNG for catalog clarity or lifestyle scenes for editorial appeal. Most sellers use both across listing photos.
— What this does
Inkurs prepares product photos for Etsy listings with both options covered — transparent PNGs for clean catalog shots and background replacement for lifestyle scenes. Etsy is one of the most flexible marketplaces on image style.

— Common questions
FAQ.
Does Etsy require pure white backgrounds?
No — Etsy is flexible. Transparent PNGs, lifestyle scenes, and creative backgrounds all work. Many top Etsy shops mix styles across listing photos rather than committing to one.
What's the ideal photo mix for an Etsy listing?
Most successful Etsy shops use a hero shot (transparent or solid color), a lifestyle scene showing scale, and detail close-ups. Inkurs handles the first two; raw close-ups stay as-shot for authenticity.
Does inkurs handle handmade items with intricate details well?
Yes — inkurs is particularly good at jewelry, fabric, ceramics, and other intricate handmade categories. Edge preservation on small details is one of the model's stronger areas.
