What it is

Types of product shadows we create.

Natural shadow — recreates the shadow the product would cast under studio lighting, matching the object's shape and angle. Most realistic option.

Drop shadow — a consistent soft shadow cast directly below or behind the product. Common in catalog and marketplace listings.

Reflection shadow — the product appears to rest on a reflective surface like glass or polished floor — popular for cosmetics, electronics and luxury goods.

Our process

How Image Shadow editing works.

The same four steps for a 2-image trial or a 5,000-image seasonal batch.

01

Send your raw images

Upload through the order form or share a Drive/Dropbox link — no software or account needed on your end.

02

We assess each image

An editor reviews every photo individually and applies the right technique — not a one-size-fits-all batch filter.

03

Manual image shadow editing

Every edit is done by hand by a trained editor — the same standard whether it's your first trial image or your thousandth order.

04

Review & download

Get your edited files back in 24–48h, in the format you need, with one revision round included.
