Product retouching
Product retouching for clothing, footwear and bags
Pixel By Hand retouches fashion product photos of clothing, footwear, bags and eyewear. An editor removes loose threads, dust and dirt, reduces creases and folds, takes out fabric imprints, and evens out the shape. We are a founder-led, fashion-only studio in the UK. As of 9 Nov 2026 there are three levels: simple £1.65 an image ($2.20 or €1.95), complex £2.49 ($3.30 or €2.95) and super-complex £4.95 ($6.55 or €5.85). Images come back within 24 hours, with unlimited revisions.

Before and after
A silk blouse, creases and clutter removed
Creases across the front and sleeves, a loose thread on the hem, lint and a plastic tag fastener. After retouching they are gone, and the natural silk sheen and drape are kept.
What we do
What do we fix?
Product photos pick up everything the garment went through on its way to the studio: creases from the box, a thread from the label, dust on a suede shoe.
The level
- The level depends on how much work the product needs
- We tell you which level each product falls into with your free trial, before you order
Clothing, footwear, bags and eyewear all use these three levels. Jewellery has its own page.
