Background Removal
for Fashion E-Commerce
Pure white backgrounds, colour replacement, and clipping paths. Amazon, Zalando, and ASOS compliant. 24-hour turnaround.
Send us 3–5 images. We edit them free. You decide.
Every Product Image Starts Here
Your product images are the first thing a customer sees. Before they read a description or check a price, they judge your brand by the image.
A cluttered background, an inconsistent crop, a slightly off-white tone — these details erode trust before the customer even realises it. Background removal is the foundation of professional e-commerce imagery.
At Pixel By Hand, background removal is what we do most. It is the entry point for most of our clients, and the service we have refined over 20 years of working exclusively with fashion brands.
Three Services, One Standard
Pure White Background
The industry standard for product listings. We remove existing backgrounds and replace them with clean, pure white (RGB 255,255,255). Every image consistent. Every batch uniform. Ready for upload.
Colour Replacement
Need a brand-specific background colour? A seasonal campaign tone? We replace backgrounds with any colour you specify. Consistent across hundreds of images.
Vector Clipping Paths
Exportable paths for your design team. Clean outlines around every garment, ready for use in InDesign, Illustrator, or any design application. Precise to the stitch.
We Know the Rules So You Do Not Have To
Every major marketplace has its own image requirements. Get them wrong and your listings get rejected. Get them right and your products look professional from day one.
Amazon
Pure white background (RGB 255,255,255), 85% frame fill, specific shadow and reflection rules, strict file naming.
Zalando
Custom crop ratios, mandatory angle requirements, model pose standards, detail shot specifications.
ASOS
Platform-specific dimensions and presentation standards.
Shopify / WooCommerce
Brand-specific requirements per your editing specification.
You should not need to educate your editing partner on marketplace requirements. We educate you.

On-Model — Studio Backdrop to Clean White
Need Ghost Mannequin Too?
Many of our background removal clients also need ghost mannequin editing. We create the invisible mannequin effect from a single photograph — no inside shot required. No other service offers this.
How It Works
Send Your Images
Upload your product photographs through our secure file sharing. Tell us what you need — background colour, marketplace, file format. Or just say "white background" and we handle the rest.
We Edit
Our fashion-specialist editing team processes your images within 24 hours. Every image is quality-checked against your specific requirements before delivery.
You Approve
Download your edited images. If anything needs adjusting, we revise — unlimited revisions until you are satisfied. Our standard is First Time Right, so revisions are rare.
Simple Per-Image Pricing
No subscription. No onboarding fees. No minimum order. You pay per image, and we quote a custom rate based on your specific requirements and volume. Higher volume means a lower per-image rate. That is it.
Some competitors charge subscription fees of $7–$1,995 per month on top of per-image rates. Others charge onboarding fees up to $4,995. We charge for the editing. Nothing else.
Why Fashion Brands Choose Us
Background removal is the most commoditised service in the industry. AI tools can do basic cutouts. Offshore services charge pennies per image. So why do fashion brands choose Pixel By Hand?
Fashion-Specific Quality
We understand fabric textures, garment edges, and the details that matter for clothing. A generic background removal service treats a silk blouse the same as a kitchen appliance. We do not.
Batch Consistency
200 images back, all matching. Same white tone, same crop, same quality. Not 180 correct and 20 needing rework.
Marketplace Compliance Built In
Amazon, Zalando, ASOS requirements applied without being asked.
24-Hour Turnaround
Our follow-the-sun production model means your images are edited overnight and ready when you start work.
Entry Point to More
Start with background removal. Add retouching, colour correction, or ghost mannequin as your needs grow. One partner for everything.
First Time Right
Our quality standard means zero amendments. Unlimited revisions if anything is not right. No extra charge.
Background Removal FAQ
What file formats do you accept?
We work with JPEG, PNG, TIFF, PSD, and RAW files. We deliver in whatever format your workflow or marketplace requires.
Can you handle large batches quickly?
Yes. We regularly process 500+ image batches without extending turnaround or dropping quality. Our distributed editing team scales with your volume.
What if the background removal is not perfect?
We offer unlimited revisions. But our First Time Right standard means this is rarely needed. We quality-check every image before delivery.
Do you handle clipping paths for complex garments?
Yes. Lace, fur, mesh, fine hair — we handle complex edges that automated tools struggle with. Fashion garments require human precision.
Is my data secure?
Your images are shared only with our editing team through secure file transfer platforms. We work with major fashion retailers handling thousands of confidential product images monthly.
