Upload your photo
Drop your vinyl photo into EditThisPic. JPG, PNG, and WebP up to 7MB. Shoot: vinyl surface (both sides), label (both sides), sleeve front, sleeve back, spine, and any defects.
Background cleanup takes 15-20 seconds. Detail enhancement may need a second pass. -
Describe the edit you want
Type 'replace background with clean dark backdrop, show vinyl surface condition clearly' for vinyl shots. For sleeves, try 'replace background with clean backdrop, show sleeve condition including ring wear.'
Dark backgrounds work best for vinyl records. They provide contrast for surface scratches and reduce the glare problem that white backgrounds create on reflective vinyl. -
Review the result
Check vinyl surface for scratch visibility, label readability, and sleeve condition documentation. Zoom to 100% on surface marks.
If surface scratches are not showing clearly, try 'enhance lighting to show surface scratches and scuffs at an angle' for better visibility. -
Refine if needed
Apply consistent dark backgrounds to vinyl shots and matching neutral backgrounds to sleeve photos. Include: vinyl side A, vinyl side B, labels, sleeve front/back, and spine.
Photograph the vinyl at a slight angle under directional light to make surface scratches visible before editing.

Common Vinyl Photo Issues
Flash glare completely hides vinyl surface condition
Why: Vinyl is highly reflective. Direct flash creates a white band across the surface hiding all detail.
reduce flash glare on vinyl surface, reveal surface condition underneath, dark background
Photograph vinyl at an angle to light, never with direct flash. Angled lighting reveals surface scratches.
Surface scratches not visible in the photo
Why: Head-on lighting does not reveal surface imperfections on vinyl.
enhance lighting at an angle to reveal surface scratches and scuffs, dark background
Tilt the vinyl under a single light source to make scratches catch the light before photographing.
Sleeve ring wear looks worse in photo
Why: Enhanced lighting can exaggerate ring wear impressions.
replace background with neutral backdrop, preserve ring wear as-is, do not enhance surface imperfections
Add 'do not enhance surface imperfections' if the photo makes wear look worse than reality.
Label text is too small to read
Why: Record labels have small text that phone cameras struggle with.
Shoot labels as separate close-ups. Closer framing gives the AI more detail.
Colored vinyl does not show accurate color
Why: Background and lighting changes can shift vinyl color representation.
replace background with dark gray, preserve vinyl color exactly, no color correction
Colored vinyl variants are identified by color. Accuracy is essential.
Shrinkwrap glare hides everything
Why: Shrinkwrap creates plastic glare similar to toploader reflections on cards.
reduce shrinkwrap glare, show record and sleeve through the wrapping, preserve seal integrity
Sealed records need visible seals. Reduce glare without making the wrap invisible.
Vinyl Seller Questions
How do I show vinyl surface condition without flash glare?
Photograph the vinyl at an angle under a single light source (window or desk lamp). Then use 'reduce vinyl surface glare, show scratches clearly' in EditThisPic. The AI reduces the remaining glare while keeping surface detail visible.
What background works best for vinyl records?
Dark gray or black works best for vinyl itself. The dark background provides contrast for surface scratches and reduces the glare problem. For sleeves, neutral or white backgrounds work well.
Can I show both vinyl and sleeve in one shot?
Yes, but they work better as separate photos. Vinyl needs dark backgrounds for surface visibility while sleeves need neutral backgrounds for color accuracy. Process them separately for best results.
How do I photograph colored vinyl accurately?
Use 'preserve vinyl color exactly, no color correction' with a dark background. Color accuracy is critical for identifying pressing variants.
