The Problem: Heavy Photos & Messy Backgrounds
If you sell online, your product photos are your storefront. But two common problems hurt your sales:
- Heavy photos: They slow down your website. Google penalizes slow sites (worse SEO) and shoppers leave before seeing your product.
- Messy backgrounds: A wrinkled sheet, kitchen table, or uneven shadows distract buyers and look unprofessional.
The good news: you can fix this in minutes with a simple workflow using free tools.
The Orqui Solution: 3-Step Workflow
We've designed a fast process that chains three tools. The order matters to maximize quality and minimize final file size.
Step 1: Remove the Background
The first step is getting that professional clean background look. Use our background removal tool.
- Upload your product photo
- The tool automatically detects the background color
- Adjust the threshold if needed for cleaner edges
- Download with transparent (PNG) or white background
💡 Tip: For marketplaces like Amazon, pure white background (RGB 255,255,255) is mandatory.
Step 2: Resize
Each marketplace has its requirements. Use our resize tool to adjust to the correct size.
- Amazon: minimum 1000×1000 px, ideal 2000×2000 px
- eBay: 500-1600 px on longest side
- Shopify: 2048×2048 px maximum recommended
- Instagram Shopping: 1080×1080 px
💡 Tip: Resize BEFORE optimizing for better quality.
Step 3: Optimize
Now that you have the correctly sized image, reduce its file size without losing visible quality. Use our optimization tool.
- Adjust quality between 70-85% (sweet spot)
- Convert to WebP for maximum savings (30-50% smaller than JPEG)
- Compare before/after to verify quality
💡 Tip: A 2MB photo can become 150-300KB without visible quality loss.
Why This Order?
- Background first: Working with the original image gives better results when removing the background.
