How to prep a
shopify photo.
— 01
Commit to a background style
Most successful Shopify stores commit to one: pure white catalog style, off-white editorial, gradient brand backgrounds, or lifestyle scenes. Consistency matters more than the specific choice.
— 02
Process through inkurs
Drop your raw product photos. Get transparent PNGs. Drop on your chosen background color or scene in your editor.
— 03
Upload at 2048×2048
Shopify supports up to 5760×5760 but auto-resizes for delivery. 2048×2048 is the sweet spot for high-DPI screens without excessive file sizes.
— 04
Use Shopify Files for marketing assets
Beyond product photos, transparent PNGs work for hero banners, marketing collateral, social posts. Inkurs delivers reusable assets.
— Common questions
FAQ.
Does Shopify have an official background remover?
Shopify Magic includes background removal on certain paid plans. Inkurs is free with no signup, processes externally, and you upload the result back to Shopify. Quality is comparable; cost is meaningfully different.
What background style ranks best for Shopify SEO?
Background style doesn't directly affect SEO — image alt text, product schema, and Core Web Vitals do. For conversion: consistency across catalog, fast image load times, and multiple angles per product.
Can I bulk-process my whole Shopify catalog?
Yes via Pro at $3/month with batch upload (50 at once) or API access. Useful for stores migrating from another platform, doing seasonal refreshes, or processing a backlog of unedited photos.
Is inkurs really free with no signup?
Inkurs is free for single-image use with no account, no email, no watermark, and no daily limit. Pro at $3/month adds bulk uploads and API access. The single-image tool stays free, forever.
Do you store or train on my uploaded images?
Inkurs deletes both the uploaded file and the processed output from its servers within 60 seconds of your download. We do not train AI models on user images, share data with advertisers, or retain copies. Privacy policy →
What image formats and sizes does inkurs accept?
Inkurs accepts PNG, JPG, WEBP, HEIC, and BMP files up to 20MB on the free tier. Output is a transparent PNG by default; WEBP is also available. Pro extends the file size cap and adds 8K output.
How does inkurs compare to removebg and Photoroom?
Inkurs gives full HD output free with no signup, while removebg gates HD behind a paid account ($9.99/mo) and Photoroom requires signup for most features ($12.99/mo). Inkurs Pro is $3/month flat. Detailed comparison →
