Upload your subscription box photo
Drop your box or flat lay image into EditThisPic. JPG, PNG, and WebP up to 7MB. Photos of items spread on your table, in the box, or arranged for a flat lay all work perfectly.
Simple flat lays with 3-5 items: 15-20 seconds. Complex multi-item arrangements with varied packaging: may need 2-3 refinements. -
Describe your desired look
Type what you want: 'clean white background with bright even lighting for subscription box flat lay' or 'replace background with brand-matching pastel surface.' For unboxing shots, try 'enhance unboxing presentation with warm inviting lighting.'
Save your brand-specific prompt and reuse it every month. This creates the consistent visual identity that subscribers recognize and trust. -
Generate and review
Check that all items are clearly visible, colors are vibrant, and the overall composition looks curated and appealing. Every item in the box should be identifiable and attractive.
Count the items in the edited photo to make sure nothing was accidentally removed. Multi-item compositions can sometimes lose small items. -
Refine arrangement if needed
If any items are unclear or the background change affected product visibility, tap markers on those items and regenerate. Small items tucked between larger ones sometimes need extra attention.
Mark small or partially hidden items to ensure the AI preserves them during background changes.

Common Subscription Box Photo Issues
Small items disappear or get removed during background change
Why: In multi-item flat lays, small items (sample sachets, cards, small accessories) can be mistaken for background elements.
replace background but preserve ALL items in the flat lay including small samples and cards, do not remove any products
Tap markers on every small item before regenerating. Count items in your edited photo to verify nothing was lost.
Shadows between items look unnatural after editing
Why: Removing the background can eliminate natural shadows between overlapping items, making them look like they are floating.
replace background with clean surface, keep natural subtle shadows between items for realistic depth, flat lay with natural contact shadows
Some shadow between items is necessary for a realistic flat lay. 'Natural contact shadows' tells the AI to keep grounding shadows.
Items in the box look disorganized after background change
Why: The AI changed the background but the original arrangement was not styled. The composition itself needs improvement.
First physically rearrange items in a pleasing grid or circular pattern, then re-photograph and edit. The AI enhances styling but works best with a decent starting arrangement.
Arrange items with even spacing before photographing. The AI handles background and lighting, but composition starts with your arrangement.
Packaging text and labels are not readable
Why: Background removal or lighting changes can reduce contrast on product labels, making text hard to read.
enhance with bright even lighting, ensure all product labels and text are clearly readable, sharp detail on packaging
If specific labels are blurry, tap markers on them and regenerate with 'sharpen text and labels on this item.'
Colors look inconsistent between monthly box photos
Why: Different lighting conditions each month create different color temperatures, breaking brand consistency.
Use your saved brand prompt every month. Add 'consistent color temperature matching brand aesthetic, neutral white balance' to ensure monthly consistency.
Save your exact prompt in a document. Using the identical prompt every month is the single most important factor for visual consistency.
Subscription Box Seller Questions
How do I create consistent branding across monthly boxes with different items?
Save a single brand prompt and use it every month: 'replace background with solid [your-brand-color] surface, bright even lighting, consistent subscription box brand aesthetic.' The background color and lighting style become your visual signature. Even though the items change monthly, the consistent presentation creates instant brand recognition. This is how successful subscription boxes maintain a cohesive Instagram grid and Shopify storefront.
What is the best flat lay arrangement for subscription box photos?
Arrange items in a grid pattern with even spacing, or in a circular pattern around the box itself. Place the largest item centrally and smaller items around it. Leave some negative space between items so each one is clearly visible. EditThisPic handles the background and lighting, but the physical arrangement of items is up to you. Photograph from directly overhead for the cleanest flat lay angle.
Should I show the box itself or just the contents?
Show both in different images. Feature the closed branded box as your main Shopify image (shows what arrives at the door). Then use flat lay compositions of the contents as secondary images (shows the value inside). EditThisPic can enhance both types: clean product shot of the box itself, and styled flat lay of everything inside it.
How do I photograph 8-12 items attractively for a flat lay?
Group similar items together and create visual flow. Place items in rows or a loose grid with consistent spacing. Overlap items slightly for a styled look, but ensure every item is identifiable. Take the photo from directly above. EditThisPic then handles background, lighting, and color enhancement. For very full boxes, consider two flat lay photos showing different groups of items.
Can I use these photos for social media marketing too?
Absolutely. Subscription boxes need constant social media content. Use the white-background version for your Shopify product page, and create a second version with 'vibrant colors, Instagram-worthy presentation' for social media. EditThisPic can quickly generate both versions from the same source photo. Many subscription box sellers create 5-10 different angles and styles from a single photo session.
How fast can I create photos for a new monthly box?
Most subscription box sellers complete their entire monthly photo set in under an hour using EditThisPic. Photograph all items once (10-15 minutes), then run each photo through EditThisPic with your saved brand prompt (15-20 seconds each). For a typical box with 6-8 product photos plus a flat lay and unboxing shot, that is roughly 30-40 minutes total. Compare that to the full day of professional photography most boxes required before.
Is EditThisPic's AI shopify subscription box photo editor really free?
Yes — you get 1 free edit per week, no account needed. For unlimited edits, plans start at $3.99/month.
Can I shopify subscription box on my phone?
Yes. EditThisPic works in any mobile browser — iPhone, Android, tablet. No app download needed.
