Why White Backgrounds Are Non-Negotiable for Product Listings
Amazon requires pure white (RGB 255,255,255) backgrounds for main product images. Etsy and Shopify sellers consistently see higher click-through rates with clean, distraction-free backgrounds. A cluttered background draws the buyer's eye away from your product — a white one keeps the focus where it belongs.
Hiring a professional photographer or photo editor for every SKU is expensive and slow. Decoupy removes backgrounds in under 3 seconds per image, letting you process an entire product catalog in minutes.
Who Needs This
- Amazon FBA sellers needing compliant main product images
- Shopify store owners building a consistent visual brand

- Dropshippers cleaning up supplier-provided photos
- Fashion brands needing ghost-mannequin or flat-lay cutouts
The Workflow: From Raw Photo to Listing-Ready
Step 1 — Photograph your product on any background. A simple cardboard box lid or bedsheet works fine. Natural lighting near a window eliminates shadows.
Step 2 — Upload to Decoupy. Drag your photo onto the tool. The AI identifies the product edges in seconds — including complex shapes like jewelry, shoes, and transparent packaging.
Step 3 — Download and place on white. Export the transparent PNG and open it in any editor (Canva, Photoshop, even PowerPoint) to place it on a pure white background. Done.
Supported Marketplace Requirements
- Amazon: Main image must be on white (#FFFFFF). Product must fill at least 85% of the frame. No watermarks.
- eBay: Recommends white or neutral backgrounds. High contrast improves search visibility.
- Shopify/WooCommerce: Consistent backgrounds across a catalog builds brand trust and reduces bounce rate.
- Etsy: No formal background rule, but white/light backgrounds consistently outperform busy backgrounds in A/B tests.
How Many Credits Do You Need?
One credit removes the background from one full-resolution image. The free tier gives you 3 credits per month — enough to test the quality. The Starter plan ($9.99/mo) gives you 25 credits, ideal for small sellers with a rotating catalog. Pro ($24.99/mo) gives you 75 credits for high-volume operations.
