Amazon is rejecting your images for non-white backgrounds. Your catalog has inconsistent sizes across 10,000 products. In-house photography looks amateur next to competitors. MercuryMinds handles bulk product image editing — background removal, colour correction, resizing and retouching — at any volume, to any platform's specification.

Product image quality directly affects conversion rate and marketplace compliance. Amazon rejects images for non-white backgrounds. Google Shopping penalises watermarked images. Poor photography loses the sale before the description is read.
Background Removal
Removes backgrounds and replaces with pure white (RGB 255,255,255) to meet Amazon's main image requirements, Google Shopping standards and most marketplace specifications. Clean edge detection on complex subjects — clothing on mannequins, jewellery, transparent products, hair. No jagged edges, no halo artefacts.
Retouching
Removing blemishes, dust, reflections and distracting elements from product photography. Colour cast correction where studio lighting has introduced unwanted warmth or coolness. Shadow creation or removal. Reflection cleanup on glossy surfaces. Output matches the product accurately — not over-processed to the point of misrepresentation.
Resizing
Resizing product images to the exact pixel dimensions and file size limits required by each platform — Amazon's 1000×1000px minimum, Shopify's recommended dimensions, eBay's specifications and your own store's responsive breakpoints. Batch processed across the full catalogue to ensure consistent presentation across every product page.
Colour Correction
Correcting colour inaccuracies in product photography — particularly important for clothing, homeware and paint/colour-matched products where colour mismatch between the image and the product causes returns. Output checked against provided physical swatches or reference images.
Compression
Compressing product images to the minimum file size that maintains visual quality — reducing page load time without introducing compression artefacts. Output in the correct format (JPEG, PNG, WebP) for each platform's requirements. Particularly impactful for Shopify and WooCommerce stores where image weight is a Core Web Vitals factor.
Lifestyle Shots
Placing product images into lifestyle backgrounds — for Amazon secondary images, A+ content modules and ecommerce product galleries where lifestyle context improves conversion. Products are composited into contextually appropriate backgrounds with correct lighting, shadow and perspective matching.
Platform Image Requirements
Submitting images that don't meet platform specifications wastes time and delays listing. MercuryMinds edits to spec for each platform — not a generic "good enough" standard.

Product image editing for ecommerce is the process of preparing product photographs for use on ecommerce platforms and marketplaces — including background removal to white, colour correction, resizing to platform specifications, retouching, compression and format conversion. Each platform (Amazon, Shopify, eBay, WooCommerce) has different image requirements, and images that don't meet these specifications are either rejected or penalised in search. MercuryMinds handles bulk product image editing at any volume — from 500 images to 50,000 — with platform-specific output for each destination.
Bulk background removal is handled as a batch editing workflow — not image by image. MercuryMinds processes batches of product images through a combination of AI-assisted background detection and human quality control, producing pure white backgrounds (RGB 255,255,255 for Amazon compliance) across the full batch. Complex subjects — clothing on mannequins, jewellery with fine detail, transparent products, hair — are handled with manual edge refinement rather than relying solely on AI detection. Typical turnaround for bulk background removal is 500 images per working day with standard quality review, or 24-hour rush processing available for launch deadlines.
Amazon requires JPEG (preferred), TIFF, GIF or PNG format for product images. The main product image (MAIN) must have a pure white background (RGB 255,255,255), must not contain text, watermarks, borders or lifestyle elements, and the product must fill at least 85% of the image frame. The minimum size is 1000 pixels on the longest side, but 1600 pixels or larger is recommended to enable Amazon's image zoom feature, which typically improves conversion rates. Secondary images (SWATCH, PT01–PT08) have fewer restrictions and can include lifestyle photography, infographics and model shots.
MercuryMinds processes approximately 500 standard product images per working day on a background removal and basic editing workflow. More complex editing (retouching, colour correction, composite work) processes at a lower rate — typically 100–200 images per working day depending on complexity. For large batches (5,000+ images), we agree a delivery schedule at project start with staged delivery so product pages can be updated progressively rather than waiting for the full batch. 24-hour rush processing is available for priority batches of up to 200 images.
