An awesome product photo is worth a lot more than a thousand words. You need to ensure every visual associated with your brand says exactly what you need it to.
Let’s face it: images do the heavy lifting in any online shopping experience. When customers can’t feel the material or get up-close with your product, it’s up to your photos to fill in the gaps. The pictures you showcase on your store pages, Instagram feed, and ads need to provide context, create desire, and show your customers exactly what they’re getting.
How can you create studio-quality visuals? A big part of that is adding the perfect background. In this article, we’ll cover how to add a background to a photo quickly and easily with PicScientist.com.
Adding the right background to your photos allows you to:
Draw Focus to Your Product: Showcase your product in the best possible way, whether that’s a sandy beach for sunglasses or a clean white backdrop for a luxury watch.
Remove Distractions: Eliminate random objects or clashing colors that pull attention away from your subject.
Elevate Your Brand Image: Whether you’re on Etsy or Instagram, a professional background ensures your brand makes the right statement.
