"Downsizing my kitchen and listing everything on Mercari. Every photo had the messy counter and fridge in the background. White backgrounds made my blender look like it came from a department store listing." @KitchenMinimalist

How to AI Mercari Home Item Photo Editor
-
Photograph your home item
Place the item on any flat surface - counter, table, floor. Make sure the full item is visible including any accessories, cords, or attachments. If it's a small appliance, include the power cord. Don't worry about background clutter.
Background swap: 25-30 seconds. Lighting fix: 15-20 seconds.Place a common object nearby for scale reference - like a coffee mug or phone - so buyers can gauge the size. -
Upload and describe the fix
Drop your photo into EditThisPic and describe what needs improving: 'replace the kitchen background with clean white' or 'brighten the item and remove the shadow.' Be specific about what looks wrong.
For stainless steel or glass items, add 'remove glare' to your prompt to handle surface reflections. -
Check product details
Verify that brand labels, buttons, and condition details are still clear. Make sure the item doesn't look artificially enhanced. Buyers will compare the photo to what arrives, so keep it honest.

Download and list
Download your polished photo and add it to your Mercari listing. Consider taking multiple angles - front, top, back, and close-ups of any controls or buttons.
Use consistent white backgrounds across all photos in the listing for a clean, trustworthy look.

Real Examples
Blender on messy kitchen counter
Wanted to sell my blender but the kitchen counter had everything else on it - coffee maker, toaster, cutting board. Background swap made it look like a brand new product listing.
replace the messy kitchen counter background with clean white, keep the blender sharp and detailed, professional product photo
Decorative lamp in dim living room
A nice table lamp I wanted to sell looked dingy in my dim living room photos. Better lighting and a clean background made it look like an interior design catalog piece.
replace the living room background with clean white, brighten the lamp, show the shade and base details clearly, professional decor listing
Cast iron pan with harsh shadow
Took a flash photo of my cast iron pan on the counter. The harsh shadow made it look damaged. Removing the shadow and cleaning the background showed the seasoning was actually perfect.

When Things Go Wrong
AI removed the power cord or handle
Why: Thin cords and protruding handles can be mistaken for background elements.
Tap markers on the missing cord/handle, then: keep this as part of the product, only remove the background
Coil the cord visibly next to the item so the AI treats it as part of the product.
Glass item became opaque
Why: Transparent items are challenging for background removal - the AI may fill them in.
keep the glass transparent, show through the glass, only replace what's behind and around the glass item
Mention 'this is a glass item, keep transparency' in your original prompt for better results.
Stainless steel looks different color
Why: Removing kitchen lighting reflections can change how brushed metal appears.
maintain the natural stainless steel color and brushed texture, don't change the metal finish
Specify the finish: 'this is brushed stainless steel' helps the AI preserve the right look.
Item looks too small without scale reference
Why: On a plain white background, buyers have no reference for how big the item is.
Place a coin, phone, or ruler next to the item in the original photo. Include it in the edited shot.
Buttons and controls are blurry
Why: Overall enhancement can sometimes soften small details like buttons and text.
Take a separate close-up photo of the control panel for listings that need clear button details.
