The problem it solves

Every new product photo needs a clean background before it's ready for your store or catalog, and doing that by hand for each image eats up hours. You either pay for editing or spend your own time cropping and masking one photo at a time. You want polished, ready-to-use images without touching an editing tool.

Who it fits

Ecommerce sellers and product teams who process large batches of product photos.

How it works

  1. You upload a new image to a designated Google Drive folder
  2. The system downloads the image automatically
  3. It sends the image to PhotoRoom to remove the background and apply your padding and sizing settings
  4. The finished image is saved back to Google Drive in your output folder

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
