Packshot editing
Packshot editing for fashion and accessories
Pixel By Hand edits packshots, the plain product-on-white images that lead most product pages, for fashion, footwear and accessories brands. We cut the product out, retouch it, and add the shadow your spec asks for. We are a founder-led, fashion-only studio in the UK. Packshots are quoted on request because each one combines several edits. Send 3–5 and we will edit them free and quote the rest. Standard turnaround is 24 hours, with unlimited revisions.

Before and after
A packshot, cleaned and finished
Dust, a scuff on the leather, a fingerprint on the clasp and twisted handles. After editing, the bag is clean, the handles sit evenly and it stands on white with a soft natural shadow.
What we do
What goes into a packshot?
A packshot is the first image a shopper sees in the grid, and on marketplaces with white-background rules it is often the only one that counts. Each one is built from a few edits.
How it is priced
- Background removal from £0.99 an image
- Product retouching from £1.65 an image
- Shadows from £0.29 an image
We add up the edits your products need and quote one price per image.
Who it's for
Who orders packshots?
Footwear and accessories brands
Shoes, bags and belts are shot on a table, and every scuff and smudge shows on white.
Marketplace sellers
Amazon and other marketplaces set rules for the main image. We apply the white background and framing in your spec.
Photo studios
You shoot packshots in bulk for several brands. Send them with each brand’s spec and we keep them separate.
