"Listed my Martin acoustic with a quick background cleanup. The buyer said the photos convinced him the guitar was well cared for. Sold for asking price the same day." @GuitarFlipPro

How to AI Facebook Marketplace Musical Instrument Photo Editor
-
Photograph your instrument
Take full-length and detail shots. For guitars, capture the full body, headstock, fretboard close-up, and back. For keyboards, show the full layout and any special controls. Use natural window light if possible.
Background cleanup: 15-25 seconds. Lighting enhancement: 20 seconds.Lay guitars flat on a dark surface for a clean, professional look even before editing. -
Describe improvements needed
Upload to EditThisPic and type what you want: 'clean up the background and bring out the wood grain' or 'fix the dim lighting and remove the cable on the floor.'
Mention the finish type: 'show the sunburst finish accurately' or 'bring out the natural wood grain' -
Check for accuracy
Verify that the finish color matches the real instrument, any wear or cosmetic issues you've disclosed are still visible, and hardware details are clear. Musicians will inspect closely.

Copy-Paste Prompts for Instrument Photos

brighten the lighting to clearly show the wood grain pattern and finish, keep colors accurate to real life
Wood grain detail is the first thing guitar buyers look at - make it visible
blur the room background, keep the keyboard sharp and well-lit, show all the controls and keys clearly
Keyboards need to show every key and control - ensure nothing gets blurred that shouldn't
remove the reflection of the room visible on the glossy guitar finish, keep the finish looking natural and shiny
Some reflection is natural and looks good - just remove identifiable room details

Real Examples
Acoustic guitar in bedroom
You're selling your acoustic guitar but the unmade bed and cluttered nightstand are visible in every angle.
replace the background with a clean dark charcoal backdrop, bring out the wood grain and rosette detail, add subtle shadow
Electric guitar with room glare
Your Les Paul has a gorgeous sunburst finish but the glossy surface reflects your entire living room.
remove the room reflection on the glossy finish, brighten to show the sunburst gradient clearly
Keyboard in small studio
Your 88-key keyboard barely fits in the room - impossible to photograph without showing cable mess and wall clutter.
blur everything behind the keyboard, brighten the keys and controls, make it look like a music store display
When Things Go Wrong
Wood finish color looks different after editing
Why: Lighting correction can shift warm wood tones, especially with strong color cast correction.
fix the lighting but keep the wood finish color exactly as the original, this is a natural mahogany finish
Mention the specific wood or finish in your prompt so the AI preserves the right tone.
Background replacement cut off part of the headstock
Why: Thin shapes like headstocks and tuning pegs are hard for AI to separate from backgrounds.
Tap markers on the headstock, then: include the full headstock and tuning pegs, don't crop them
Try blurring the background instead - it handles thin shapes much better.
Fret detail lost after lighting enhancement
Why: Over-brightening can flatten the subtle shadows that show fret wear and condition.
brighten the overall photo slightly but preserve the shadows on the frets that show wear and condition
For close-up detail shots, ask for 'subtle' or 'moderate' lighting improvement.
Metallic hardware looks wrong after editing
Why: Chrome and nickel hardware can look painted or matte if reflections are over-processed.
keep the tuning pegs and bridge hardware looking natural and metallic, just improve the overall lighting
Mention 'chrome' or 'nickel' hardware specifically to help the AI treat reflective surfaces correctly.
Glossy reflection removal made the finish look matte
Why: Removing all reflections from a glossy surface removes the visual cue that says 'this is glossy.'
remove the identifiable room reflection but keep the surface looking glossy and shiny with natural highlights
Ask to keep 'natural highlights' - a glossy guitar should still look glossy.
Frequently Asked Questions
What background works best for instrument photos?
Dark backgrounds (charcoal, black) make wood grain and finish details pop. For white or natural-finish instruments, a medium gray works well. Avoid pure white - it can wash out lighter-colored instruments.
How do I show fret wear in photos?
Take close-up photos of the fretboard in good light, then use EditThisPic to enhance lighting. The key is to type 'enhance lighting but preserve the fret wear detail' so the AI brightens without flattening the subtle shadows that show wear.
Can I edit photos of large items like drum kits and pianos?
Yes. For large instruments that are hard to isolate, use 'blur the background' instead of 'replace background.' Blurring handles complex setups with multiple pieces better and still cleans up the room behind the kit.
Should I remove all reflections from glossy instruments?
No - some reflection is what makes a glossy finish look glossy. Only remove identifiable room details (windows, furniture shapes) reflected in the surface. Keep natural highlights that show the finish quality.
Is there a free instrument photo editor for Marketplace?
Yes, EditThisPic is free to try with no signup required. Upload your instrument photo, describe what needs fixing, and download the result. No watermarks.
How do I show included accessories like cases and pedals?
Edit each item separately for best results. Take one photo of the instrument alone, edit it, then photograph the accessories (case, pedals, cables) in a group and edit that photo too. Multiple clean photos are better than one cluttered shot.
Can I facebook marketplace musical instrument on my phone?
Yes. EditThisPic works in any mobile browser — iPhone, Android, tablet. No app download needed.
What photo formats does the AI facebook marketplace musical instrument photo editor support?
JPG, PNG, WebP, and HEIC. Upload any common photo format and EditThisPic handles the rest.
