Background Removal Tips for Better Product Conversion Rates

Your product photo is often the first impression a buyer gets. If it looks cluttered, dark, or amateur, people scroll past—even if your product is amazing. The good news? You can dramatically improve your conversion rate simply by removing distracting backgrounds and using clean, focused imagery.

With CleanPix, you can remove backgrounds in seconds. But to truly convert clicks into customers, follow these expert tips:

1. Use a Pure White Background for Main Images

Most marketplaces (like Amazon and eBay) require a pure white background for your main product image. This keeps listings uniform and professional. After removing the original background with CleanPix, upload your image onto a plain white background using Canva or your preferred design tool.

2. Highlight the Product—Nothing Else

Avoid props, hands, or extra items in the main photo. Remove any distractions using CleanPix so your customer focuses entirely on the product. Additional images can show context or lifestyle shots, but the first image should be 100% product-centric.

3. Ensure Your Product Is Centered and Well-Cropped

After background removal, make sure the product is centered with enough padding around it. This improves visibility in thumbnails and mobile views.

4. Use High-Quality, Well-Lit Photos

CleanPix can work with any image, but the better your source photo, the better your final result. Use natural light or a basic ring light, and avoid shadows or blurriness that could confuse the AI or turn off buyers.

5. Match Your Background to Your Brand (When Allowed)

On platforms like Etsy or Shopify, you have flexibility to use soft color backgrounds or branded backdrops. After removing the original background, place the product on a subtle gradient or pastel tone that aligns with your brand style.

6. Optimize Image Dimensions and File Size

Keep your image sharp but lightweight for fast loading. After downloading the PNG from CleanPix, you can compress it using free tools like TinyPNG without losing quality.

7. Test and Compare Versions

Create two variations of your listing image—one before background removal and one after. Use A/B testing (or simply monitor performance) to see which version leads to better click-through rates or conversions.
