THE PREP DESK
Better decisions before you export.
Worked examples and checklists for a repeatable product-photo workflow.
Fit or fill: keep the important edges in your product photos
Compare exact fit and crop calculations, choose a margin, and avoid cutting important details out of product images.
THUMBNAIL CHECKSCheck the thumbnail, not just the full-size product photo
Use square, landscape and portrait crop checks to find clipped product edges before publishing a listing.
SHOP PRESENTATIONBuild a consistent product grid without stretching photos
Understand why equal image dimensions do not guarantee equal product scale, and prepare a coherent listing gallery.
FILE QUALITYPixels, file size and quality: three different controls
Choose output dimensions and JPG, PNG or WebP using a repeatable comparison instead of a promised file-size target.
BATCH WORKFLOWA repeatable product photo batch: from originals to named files
Set a product-code naming pattern, review every export and reuse browser-saved settings for your next listing.
TROUBLESHOOTINGWhy a local image batch can fail—and how to recover
Resolve unsupported formats, large images, memory pressure, failed ZIP downloads and blocked browser settings storage.
