Collection grid breaks
Mixed ratios and backgrounds make the grid look untidy. We lock one ratio, one background and one white point across the whole catalogue, so image 400 matches image 1.
Marketplaces — Shopify
Shopify Product Photo Editing & Listing Service
Shopify has no marketplace police — the buyer is you, and the quality gate is your catalogue. What breaks a Shopify store is inconsistency: mixed ratios, mixed backgrounds, mixed white points, and images heavy enough to slow the page. We standardise whole catalogues to one written spec sheet, at 2048 × 2048 and under 200 KB, with theme-ready hero and collection images.
Seller pains
What goes wrong on Shopify, and the fix
Pages load slowly
The hero is usually the largest contentful paint element. We deliver WebP under 200 KB per product image, so the page stays fast.
Hero banners crop wrong
Shopify publishes no banner size, so the theme decides. We ask for your theme name first, then deliver the hero master for it, with a wide version only if the theme requests it.
Variant images mismatched
Each variant gets exactly one assigned image. We name files by SKU and variant, so the right image shows when the buyer picks an option.

| Collection image | 2048 px on the long side; featured collection tile 800 × 800 in Dawn |

Hero size conflict, flagged openly: theme-code sources recommend 3840 × 1600 for some themes while others recommend 1920 × 1080. We deliver the 1920 × 1080 master, plus a 3,840 px version only if your theme requests it.

Simple by design
How It Works
Five steps, from your photos to finished images.
1
Send photos & brief
Send your highest-resolution originals, your SKU list and your brand kit through Google Drive, Dropbox, WeTransfer or FTP.
2
Free sample first
We edit a free sample of 5 to 10 images first, so you see the look before you commit to anything.
3
Sample approval
Nothing scales before you approve the sample. Colours, crop, shadow and style are locked in at this step.
4
Production in batches
We edit and design in batches, named by SKU and delivered in per-channel folders, so you can upload as you go.
5
Quality check & delivery
Every batch passes a two-person check plus a marketplace compliance pass, then arrives in upload-ready folders with an open-items note.

Hero size conflict, flagged openly: theme-code sources recommend 3840 × 1600 for some themes while others recommend 1920 × 1080. We deliver the 1920 × 1080 master, plus a 3,840 px version only if your theme requests it, which is why the brief asks for your theme name.
Questions
Shopify questions, answered straight
What size should my Shopify product images be?
2048 × 2048 px square, under 200 KB as WebP. That is the size Shopify's own help says usually displays best, and it keeps zoom working without slowing the page.
Why does my collection grid look untidy?
Because the images differ: mixed ratios, mixed backgrounds, mixed white points. We standardise the whole catalogue to one written spec sheet, agreed before editing starts, so image 400 matches image 1.
What hero size does my theme need?
It depends on the theme. Shopify publishes no banner size, so we ask for your theme name first: the working master is 1920 × 1080, and a 3,840 px wide version is delivered only if your theme requests it.
Do you write product descriptions too?
Yes. Store copy is part of the service: product descriptions, SEO titles and meta descriptions for the store's own search ranking, written in your brand voice.
What is in the Catalogue Retainer?
Ongoing catalogue editing to one spec, new product batches prioritised, monthly image-weight and feed checks, and a style guide that is kept and updated as your range grows.
How fast is delivery?
Image editing is 24 hours standard; a few hundred SKUs take 3 to 5 working days. Final turnaround is confirmed before work starts.
