Maintaining Consistency in Product Images

When aiming to increase sales, ensuring product photos are high-quality and uniform is key. As an e-commerce store owner, maintaining consistent product images should be a top priority.

Use the same background for similar items. Having a plain, consistent background like white for all tops, bottoms, and accessories makes products easy for customers to browse and compare. For uneven backgrounds, slazzer.com will help you make it plain and white. 

Maintain consistent lighting and angles. In addition to backgrounds, uniform lighting, and straight-on camera angles create a cohesive look. Use the same overhead lighting and position the camera directly in front of products. 

Edit photos as needed to match. If product photos vary in lighting, color, etc., photo editing tools can adjust brightness, contrast, white balance, and tones to make images more uniform. 

WooCommerce + Shopify for Seamless Image Enhancement

Add shadows with the Slazzer Product Enhancer

As an ecommerce store owner, you know that high-quality product images are crucial to your success. Pictures that show items clearly, attractively, and as realistically as possible can increase sales and customer satisfaction. One of the easiest ways to improve your product photos is by adding shadows.

Shadows give your product photos depth and dimension, making the items seem more realistic. They trick the viewer’s eye into perceiving the product as a 3D object rather than a 2D image. 

For flat products like clothing, shadows can be especially impactful in suggesting contours and shapes.

Slazzer’s Product Photo Enhancer tool allows you to automatically add natural-looking shadows to your product images in just a few clicks.

The tool is very simple to use. Open the tool, and upload your image by drag and drop. On the left-hand side, you can customize the background, and on the right-hand side using the slider you can customize the shadow intensity. 

Using Slazzer to add shadows to your product photos is an easy way to give your e-commerce store a more professional, polished look without a huge investment of time or money.

Enhanced images may attract more customer attention, inspire confidence in your products, and ultimately drive higher sales and a better customer experience.

How Slazzer Supercharges Your E-commerce Game
