How it works

Upload your photo

Drop your product image into EditThisPic. JPG, PNG, and WebP up to 7MB. Photos shot on white or light backgrounds work best since the AI only needs to brighten and even out the existing backdrop.

Expect: Simple product photos: 10-15 seconds. Complex items with shadows: may need 1-2 refinements.
Describe what you want

Type 'make the background pure white' or 'whiten the background to clean #FFFFFF white.' That's it. The AI understands what 'background' means—no marking, no selecting. Specify if you want shadows kept or removed.

Tip: Add 'with soft product shadow' if you want depth, or 'completely shadow-free' for Amazon compliance.

Generate and review

Check that the background is truly pure white and even across the entire image. Zoom in on product edges to ensure no gray fringing or uneven patches remain.
Refine with markers if needed

If some corners stayed gray or shadows weren't fully removed, tap markers on those spots and regenerate. Most whitening edits work without markers on the first try.

Tip: Markers help with stubborn shadow areas. Tap directly on any gray patches you want pure white.

If something looks off

AI changed the wrong area or affected the product itself

Why: The AI couldn't distinguish between the background and light-colored parts of your product. This happens with white or cream-colored items.

Try: Tap a marker on the product area you want protected, then regenerate with the same prompt

Try This →

Tip: Markers tell the AI 'don't touch this area.' Use them when your product color is close to white.

Background still has gray patches in corners

Why: The original lighting created shadows or gradients the AI didn't fully correct. Corners often have the most shadow buildup.

Try: make the entire background pure even white including all corners, remove all shadows and gray areas

Try This →

Tip: Specifically calling out 'including all corners' helps the AI target those problem areas.

Product edges look washed out or lost detail

Why: The AI over-whitened and bled into the product edges, especially on light-colored items.

Try: whiten only the background to pure white, preserve all product edge detail and color, no white bleed into the item

Try This →

Tip: If edges still suffer, tap markers on the product edges you want to protect.

White background looks flat and product floats

Why: All shadows were removed, eliminating visual grounding. Products need some shadow to look natural.

Try: make background pure white but add a subtle soft drop shadow under the product for grounding

Try This →

Tip: A tiny shadow makes products look photographed rather than pasted. Most marketplaces allow subtle shadows.

Quick answers

Do I need to mark the background before describing?

No! Just type 'make the background pure white' and the AI understands. Markers are only needed if the AI accidentally affects your product—which rarely happens unless your product is also white or cream-colored.

Will this meet Amazon and Etsy white background requirements?

Yes. Type 'make the background pure white, #FFFFFF, marketplace compliant' to get backgrounds that meet strict e-commerce requirements. Amazon requires pure white (RGB 255,255,255) for main product images, and this tool delivers exactly that.

What's the difference between whitening and removing background?

Whitening cleans up an existing light background to pure white—faster and preserves natural shadows if wanted. Removing background completely replaces it with a new white layer. Use whitening when you already shot on white but it came out gray or uneven.

Can I keep the product shadow while whitening the background?

Yes. Add 'keep the natural product shadow' to your prompt. This preserves depth and makes products look grounded rather than floating. Most marketplaces allow subtle shadows as long as the background itself is pure white.

Is EditThisPic's AI background whitener really free?

Yes — you get 1 free edit per week, no account needed. For unlimited edits, plans start at $3.99/month.

Can I whiten background on my phone?

Yes. EditThisPic works in any mobile browser — iPhone, Android, tablet. No app download needed.

What photo formats does the AI background whitener support?

JPG, PNG, WebP, and HEIC. Upload any common photo format and EditThisPic handles the rest.

How long does it take to whiten background?

Usually 15-30 seconds. Upload your photo, describe what you want, and the AI delivers the result.
