This tool finds shadows by looking for bright, low-saturation pixels, the typical look of a soft grey shadow on a white or light background. Pixels that match are replaced with your chosen background color or made transparent. Two sliders control the result: Shadow Threshold decides how aggressively shadow pixels are detected, and Feather Edges softens the transition so the edit does not look cut out. It is a simple pixel-based method that runs in your browser, not an AI model.
Use the shadow remover when the product sits on a plain white or light surface and you only want to get rid of a soft shadow. If the background is busy or colorful, use the Background Remover to cut the product out, then set a clean backdrop with the BG Color Changer. For a full walkthrough with examples, read our guide on removing shadows from product photos.
After removing the shadow, resize and compress the photo so it loads quickly. See our size guides for Shopify and Etsy, and use the Resize tool to hit the exact dimensions. Marketplaces set their own rules for backgrounds, so check the seller help page for the one you use.
Upload the photo, choose a background color or tick Transparent (PNG), then raise the Shadow Threshold a little at a time until the shadow disappears. Add some Feather Edges if you see a hard edge, then download the result. It works in your browser and does not need a signup.
Not every picture. The tool finds soft grey shadows on white or light backgrounds, so it suits product photos and objects on a plain surface. Hard dark shadows, shadows on people or faces, and busy or colorful backgrounds are not handled well. For a busy background, cut the subject out with the background remover first.
Product photos shot on a white or light, evenly-lit background with a soft drop shadow work best, since the tool detects shadows as bright, low-saturation pixels.
It sets the brightness level above which pixels are treated as shadow and removed. Raising it removes more of the shadow but can start affecting light parts of the actual subject.
Yes. Check the Transparent (PNG) option instead of picking a background color, and the shadow area will become transparent instead of filled in.
Yes, completely free with no signup and no limits.
No. Shadow detection and removal happen entirely in your browser using the Canvas API. Your image is never uploaded anywhere.
The threshold is probably too high, so the tool is treating bright parts of the product as shadow. Lower the Shadow Threshold slightly and increase feathering.
It works best on white or light backgrounds. On dark or colorful backgrounds the shadow is not a bright, low-saturation area, so detection is unreliable. Use the Background Remover instead.
Use the shadow remover for a soft shadow on a plain light surface. Use the background remover when you want to cut the subject out of a busy background.
Remove shadows from product photos to get a clean, marketplace-ready white background. Adjust the shadow threshold and feathering to get the cleanest possible cutout. Ideal for Amazon, eBay, Shopify, and Etsy sellers.
AI Shadow Detection
AI identifies shadow regions separately from the product, for cleaner removal than simple brightness thresholds.
Adjustable Threshold
Dial the shadow sensitivity to catch faint shadows without clipping the product edges.
Marketplace-Ready Output
Get a pure white or transparent background that meets Amazon and eBay image requirements.
No Upload
Shadow removal runs locally in your browser. Product images stay private.
How does shadow removal work?
The tool analyses pixel brightness and uses the threshold setting to determine which areas are shadow. Pixels below the threshold are made transparent or white.
Can I remove shadows from photos with complex backgrounds?
This tool works best on product photos shot against a white or light background. Complex or dark backgrounds make it hard to distinguish shadow from background.
What threshold setting should I use?
Start at the default, then increase until the shadow disappears. Stop before the product edges start to clip -- the feathering slider softens any hard edges.
Will this tool remove shadows from portrait photos?
It works best on product shots. For portrait retouching, a dedicated photo editor with dodge/burn tools gives more precise control.
