Sellers preparing seasonal campaigns
Holiday scenes need new backgrounds.
Stores needing banner images
Wide scenes are cut from product photos.
Brands wanting more than plain white

Owners with only studio-white shots
No budget for new shoots.
Founders short on time

Problems solved
Why Changed Backgrounds Often Look Pasted On
A new background exposes any mismatch of light. These are the six problems owners raise most often.
- Light directions disagree.
The product is lit from the left and the scene from the right.
- Shadows are missing.
The product floats above the surface.
- Perspective clashes.
The product's angle does not fit the scene.
- Colours spill wrongly.
Edges carry a halo of the old background.
- Looks vary across a collection.
Each image has a different treatment.
- Licensing is unclear.
Backgrounds come from unknown sources.

Inside every project
What Protects Your Store and Your Budget During Custom Background Replacement
Work on your brand and catalog is a big trust, so these six habits protect your custom backdrops on every package.
Backgrounds must be licensed
We use backgrounds you supply, create or license properly, and tell you which, so you know the images are safe to use.
Least access needed
We ask only for the access your custom backdrops needs, through Shopify's own sharing tools where a store is involved, and remove it when we finish.
Working files are yours
Final and working files for your custom backdrops are handed over, so another person could use them later.
Checked before you look
Every custom backdrops item is checked against the brief first, so your review covers taste and wording, not faults.
No promised sales
We make custom backdrops to help shoppers decide, and we never promise revenue, rankings or reach.
Rights respected
We only use images, fonts, music and text you own or that are properly licensed in your custom backdrops, and we say which.
