Prepare lighter product images for your store.

Prepare product photos and transparent cutouts with an export checklist for dimensions, formats, image quality, filenames and mobile storefront review.

Piko checking product photo exports with a camera and checklist at a forest workbench

Consistency matters across a store. Start with a clean source, produce a suitable delivery copy, and check it in the actual product page before preparing the whole catalog.

Plan the size before the export

Find the largest rendered width in the storefront and account for the display density you want to support. Use a maximum width in PikoZip to avoid delivering an oversized camera export. This resizer preserves proportions; prepare any cropping in your editor first.

Choose backgrounds deliberately

Transparent product cutouts need PNG, WebP, or AVIF output. If your marketplace requires JPEG, use the preview to check PikoZip’s white background against the intended design. Do not assume a transparent input stays transparent after JPEG conversion.

Test a representative set

Try a textured product, a smooth gradient, packaging text, and a transparent shadow. Check details near the product edge. A quality setting that suits one photo may be too aggressive for another.

Name and review the batch

Use meaningful filenames and keep the source masters separately. Folder uploads preserve relative paths in the downloaded ZIP. PikoZip resolves colliding output names with a suffix, so confirm names before replacing assets in an existing publishing workflow.

Validate in the storefront

Upload the optimized copies to your platform, add appropriate alternative text in the publishing system, and inspect the mobile product page. Optimization does not replace good image composition, accessible descriptions, or page-level performance testing.
