✓ Quick answer

How do I take product photos of shoes with a white background?

Shoot the shoe at a three-quarter angle in soft light, upload it, and the AI cuts it out including the laces. Choose white, add a drop shadow so it doesn't float, and download.

How to remove background from shoe photos

  1. 01

    Upload your image

    Drop a JPG, PNG, WebP or HEIC file into the uploader, paste it with Ctrl+V, or paste an image URL.

  2. 02

    AI removes the background

    Our segmentation model finds the subject and cuts it out with soft, hair-level edges in a few seconds.

  3. 03

    Download or edit

    Download a transparent PNG, or swap in a solid colour, a photo or a blurred background first.

Laces, mesh and soles

Laces leave small gaps that should become transparent, and mesh uppers let background colour through. Our model handles both, and the shadow option grounds the shoe naturally.

Resale-ready

Sneaker resellers on StockX-style marketplaces, eBay and Depop get more clicks with clean, consistent photos.

Do gaps inside the laces become transparent?

Yes — enclosed gaps are detected and removed, not just the outer background.

Can I show both shoes?

Yes. Both shoes stay because every foreground object is kept.

Is it free?

Yes. Downloads up to 800×800px are free with no watermark and no sign-up. Full resolution costs one credit; new accounts get 3 free.
