Built for Shopify Social Media Marketing
Social media feeds are brutally competitive. Your product photo has 0.3 seconds to stop someone from scrolling. White-background catalog shots do not cut it on Instagram, TikTok, or Pinterest. EditThisPic transforms your standard product photos into bold, colorful, attention-grabbing social content that drives engagement and clicks to your Shopify store. Create a week of social content in under an hour.

Create Social Media Ready Shopify Product Photos
-
Upload your product photo
Drop your product image into EditThisPic. JPG, PNG, and WebP up to 7MB. Your standard Shopify product photos work as perfect starting points for social media transformation.
Simple background changes: 15-20 seconds. Complex lifestyle scenes or dramatic styling: 20-30 seconds. -
Describe your social media vision
Type what you want: 'bold colorful gradient background, eye-catching social media product shot' or 'modern lifestyle setting, Instagram-worthy product presentation.' Think about what stops YOUR scroll and describe that aesthetic.
Create 3-4 social media prompt variations and rotate them. Variety in your feed keeps followers engaged while maintaining brand consistency. -
Generate and review
Check that the image would stop YOUR scroll. Is it bold enough? Are colors vibrant? Does the product pop against the background? View it at phone-screen size to simulate social media display.
Preview at phone screen size. Social media images are viewed on small screens. What looks great on desktop might lose impact on mobile. -
Create variations for different platforms
Different platforms perform better with different styles. Instagram loves styled lifestyle shots, TikTok favors bold and vibrant, Pinterest works with aspirational context. Create 2-3 variations from the same source photo.
One product photo can become 3-5 social media posts with different backgrounds and styles. Maximum content from minimum photography.
Social Media Product Photo Prompts
replace background with bold vibrant gradient, eye-catching and modern, social media ready product presentation, product should pop
Gradient backgrounds are the most scroll-stopping. Match gradients to your brand colors for consistency.
replace background with styled Instagram-worthy flat lay surface, complementary props, bright clean lifestyle product photography
Lifestyle flat lays perform best on Instagram. The context helps viewers imagine owning the product.
enhance colors to maximum vibrancy, bold and attention-grabbing, social media optimized, product should jump off the screen
Social feeds compress images. Extra vibrancy ensures your product still pops after platform compression.
replace background with trendy colorful pattern or setting, youthful bold aesthetic, TikTok-ready product presentation, maximum visual energy
TikTok and Reels favor bold, energetic visuals. Think maximalist rather than minimalist.

Pinterest users are planning and aspiring. Show the product in the lifestyle they want to create.
replace background with solid [your-brand-color], clean modern product presentation, brand-consistent social media image
Replace with your actual brand color hex or name. Solid brand colors create instant recognition in feeds.
replace background with seasonal themed setting, festive or seasonal elements, product in context of current season or holiday

Common Social Media Photo Issues
Background overwhelms the product
Why: Bold backgrounds can compete with the product for attention, reducing rather than increasing visual impact.
replace background with bold but complementary color, product should be clearly the focal point, background enhances but does not overwhelm
Choose background colors that contrast with your product color. A blue product pops against warm orange/coral backgrounds.
Colors look over-saturated or unnatural
Why: Maximum vibrancy prompts can push colors beyond realistic levels, making products look fake.
enhance colors to be vibrant but still realistic, social media optimized without looking over-processed or artificial
There is a sweet spot between attention-grabbing and unrealistic. Ask for 'vibrant but natural' rather than 'maximum vibrancy.'
Image looks great on desktop but loses impact on phone
Why: Social media images are viewed at small screen sizes. Fine details and subtle effects get lost on mobile devices.
create bold, high-contrast social media image, clear at small mobile screen sizes, product prominent even at thumbnail size
Always preview your social media product photos at phone screen size before posting. Zoom out to simulate scrolling past.
All posts look the same despite different products
Why: Using the exact same background prompt for every product creates visual monotony in your feed.
Rotate between 3-4 background styles: gradient, solid color, lifestyle, and seasonal. Keep brand colors consistent but vary the styling.
Plan your feed grid. Alternate between different styles to create visual variety while maintaining brand cohesion.
Product details lost against busy background
Why: Lifestyle or patterned backgrounds can hide product details that are important for purchase decisions.
Use detailed backgrounds for social media only. Always link social posts to your Shopify product page where clean white-background catalog photos show all details.
Social media photos sell the vibe, catalog photos sell the details. Use both in your Shopify strategy.
Social Media Marketing Questions
Should I use different photos for Shopify and social media?
Yes. Shopify product pages should use clean white-background catalog shots that show product details clearly. Social media needs bold, eye-catching images that stop the scroll. EditThisPic can create both from the same source photo: clean catalog versions for your Shopify listing and vibrant social versions for Instagram, TikTok, and Pinterest. Link social posts back to the product page where customers see the detailed catalog images.
How do I maintain brand consistency across social media posts?
Create 3-4 brand prompt templates with your specific colors and style, then rotate them. Example: 'solid brand-blue background,' 'gradient with brand-coral accent,' 'lifestyle on marble surface.' Using consistent brand colors across varying styles creates recognizable but not monotonous content. Save prompts and reuse them. Your social grid should look intentional, not random.
What visual style works best for Instagram product posts?
Instagram favors lifestyle context and aspirational aesthetics. Styled flat lays, room settings, and held-in-hand shots outperform plain product-on-white. Use 'Instagram-worthy lifestyle setting' or 'styled product presentation with complementary elements.' Color-coordinated backgrounds that match your brand perform especially well on Instagram grids.
How do I create multiple social posts from one product photo?
Upload the same product photo to EditThisPic multiple times with different prompts. Create a gradient version for Instagram Stories, a lifestyle version for feed posts, a bold version for TikTok, and an aspirational version for Pinterest. One source photo becomes 4-5 unique social media assets in under 10 minutes.
What about video content and Reels?
EditThisPic creates still images, but your social media-optimized product photos work as Reel thumbnails, carousel slides, and video intro/outro frames. Create a bold product shot for the thumbnail that stops the scroll, then use it as the hook image for your product video content. Many successful Shopify sellers use EditThisPic stills as the visual foundation for their video marketing.
Is this better than hiring a social media content creator?
For product photography, EditThisPic is faster and more affordable. Social media content creators charge $100-500 per post for styled product photography. EditThisPic creates social-ready product shots in seconds for free. However, content creators add value for lifestyle shoots with models, user-generated-content style, and video production. Most successful Shopify brands use EditThisPic for product imagery and invest in creators for human-centered content.
Is EditThisPic's AI shopify social media product 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 social media product on my phone?
