Photoroom makes it easy to create clean, stylish and appealing images for your eBay listings. In just a few steps, you can remove the background from your photos, apply a pre-prepared eBay template, and add a shadow to create a professional-looking image.
In this article, we explain how to turn a photo of a product into a product photo for an eBay listing. We do not explain how to add it to your eBay listing as once you have created your image file in Photoroom, you can upload it to eBay in the same way as any other image.
