Create Shopify-ready product photography in seconds

Quick Answer

Lume makes it easy to generate Shopify-ready product photos. Upload your product, choose a clean or lifestyle scene, adjust props and lighting, and export in square 1:1 format. Use consistent scenes across variants to ensure a professional and cohesive storefront.

Step-by-Step Guide

Upload your product image to Lume

Click "Upload" and select your product photo (JPG, PNG, or HEIC). Make sure your product is well-lit and clearly visible.

Select a Shopify-friendly scene

Choose either a white or clean background for product detail pages, or lifestyle scenes for secondary gallery images. Shopify works best with consistent backgrounds across product variants.

Adjust props, background, and lighting

Use the canvas controls to fine-tune the scene. Add subtle props that enhance your product without overwhelming it. Ensure lighting is even and professional.

Export square 1:1 PNG or JPG

Select square (1:1) format and export at 2048x2048px or higher for best results. Shopify supports both PNG and JPG formats.

Upload directly to your Shopify product page

Download your image and upload it to your Shopify admin under Products → Images. Set it as your main product image or add to the gallery.

Things to Know

Follow Shopify's image requirements

Shopify recommends 2048x2048px images. Larger images are acceptable but will be resized. Maintain consistent dimensions across all product variants.

Avoid text overlays on product images

Shopify's algorithm works best with clean product images without text. Save promotional banners for collection banners or homepage graphics.

Maintain aspect ratio consistency

Use the same aspect ratio (preferably 1:1 square) for all product images in your store. This creates a professional, cohesive look in collection grids.

Consider mobile display

Most Shopify traffic is mobile. Ensure your product is centered and clearly visible even when cropped to smaller screens.
