Create Professional Shopify Candle Photos
-
Upload your candle photo
Drop your candle image into EditThisPic. JPG, PNG, and WebP up to 7MB. Photos taken on your kitchen counter, craft table, or workbench work perfectly.
Simple candle jars on solid backgrounds: 15-20 seconds. Glass jars with heavy reflections: may need 2-3 refinements. -
Describe your desired look
Type what you want: 'replace background with white, warm cozy lighting' or 'cozy shelf setting with ambient lighting.' The AI understands candle aesthetics and creates warmth in every edit.
Include 'warm lighting' in every candle prompt. Cold or neutral lighting makes candles feel sterile, contradicting the cozy product experience. -
Generate and review
Check that wax color is warm and inviting, label text is readable, and the overall mood is cozy. Candle photos should make customers feel the warmth.
Compare edited wax color to your physical candle. Wax color accuracy matters because it sets fragrance expectations (amber wax suggests vanilla, green suggests eucalyptus). -
Clean up jar reflections if needed
Glass candle jars often have distracting reflections. If your room or lighting is visible in the glass, tap markers on those reflections and regenerate.
Keep subtle glass shine for realism but remove reflections that show your surroundings. Natural glass appearance sells quality.
Shopify Candle Photo Prompts

Common Candle Photo Issues
Wax color looks flat, dull, or inaccurate
Why: Home lighting (especially fluorescent) strips the warm tones from wax, making rich amber look pale and uninviting.
enhance wax color to be warm and rich, accurate color reproduction, inviting premium candle appearance, do not over-saturate
Specify the wax color: 'warm honey amber' or 'rich blush pink.' Color-specific prompts give better accuracy than generic 'enhance colors.'
Glass jar shows room reflections and environment
Why: Clear glass candle jars act like mirrors, reflecting your room, lighting fixtures, and photographer.
remove all environmental reflections from glass jar, keep natural glass transparency and wax visibility, clean professional look
Tap markers on specific reflection spots. Photograph against a white or neutral background to minimize reflections before editing.
Label text is blurry or hard to read
Why: Curved glass jar surfaces and low lighting make label text challenging to capture sharply.
enhance sharpness of label text and design, fragrance name and brand must be clearly readable, professional detail
Photograph the label straight-on, not at an angle through curved glass. Flat-faced labels photograph better than wrapped labels.
Candle looks cold instead of warm and cozy
Why: Neutral or cool lighting contradicts the warm, cozy experience candle buyers expect.
enhance with warm golden-tone lighting, cozy inviting candle product presentation, the photo should feel warm and welcoming
Every candle photo needs warm lighting. Cool white lighting is the enemy of candle sales.
Wax surface texture not visible
Why: Flat overhead lighting eliminates the surface texture that shows hand-poured quality and wax type.
enhance with directional warm lighting to reveal wax surface texture, show hand-poured quality and wax character
Directional lighting (from the side) reveals wax texture better than overhead. The AI can simulate this even from a flat-lit source.
Candle Seller Questions
How do I make candle photos evoke fragrance and warmth?
Always use warm lighting in your prompts. Include 'warm cozy lighting' or 'candlelight-style warm tones.' The visual warmth of the photo substitutes for the scent experience in e-commerce. Also show wax color accurately, because buyers associate specific colors with specific scents. Lifestyle settings (bookshelves, bath trays, bedside tables) create context that helps customers imagine the candle in their space.
Should I photograph candles lit or unlit?
Photograph both. Unlit for your main Shopify product image - this shows the wax surface, label, and jar clearly. Lit candle shots work beautifully for secondary images and social media. EditThisPic can enhance both types. For lit candles, photograph in a dimmer room so the flame glow is visible, then use EditThisPic to clean up the background while preserving the warm flame ambiance.
How do I handle glass jar reflections?
Glass reflections are the number one challenge for candle photography. Use 'remove environmental reflections, keep natural glass clarity' in your prompt. For best starting photos, photograph against a solid white or neutral backdrop with the camera centered on the label. If specific reflections persist, tap markers on them. Keep subtle glass shine for realism while removing images of your room.
How do I create consistent photos across 20+ candle fragrances?
Save one prompt and use it for every candle: 'replace background with pure white, warm even lighting, consistent candle catalog style, preserve wax and label detail.' Photograph all candles in the same spot with the same setup. The combination of consistent starting photos and consistent prompts creates the cohesive brand catalog that makes candle lines look premium.
Can EditThisPic help with wax melt and tart photos?
Yes. Wax melts need visible texture since customers cannot smell or handle them. Use 'show wax melt texture and color detail, warm lighting, professional home fragrance product shot.' Photograph melts close-up to capture surface texture. The texture and color are your only sales tools for a product that sells on fragrance.
Is this better than professional candle photography?
For standard catalog shots, EditThisPic delivers warm, professional results instantly. Professional candle photographers charge $20-50 per product. EditThisPic is free to try. The speed advantage matters for candle makers who frequently launch seasonal and limited-edition fragrances. Professional photography is still valuable for hero lifestyle campaigns and social media content shoots.
