About Photoroom

What is Photoroom?

An AI photo editor built for product images. It removes backgrounds, generates lifestyle scenes, adds shadows, creates virtual fashion models and processes whole catalogues in batches, through mobile apps, a web app, a Shopify integration and an API. Photoroom is a specialised AI tool in the Image Editing category that applies machine learning to automate, enhance, or augment tasks in this domain.

Photoroom is useful for Australian online retailers selling through Shopify, Amazon, eBay and their own sites, where clean, consistent product images matter. Be careful with generated scenes and virtual models: under the Australian Consumer Law, product images must not mislead buyers about colour, size or what is included, and the ACCC takes action on misleading online listings. Keep a true-to-life image available. If staff photograph people, get their consent before uploading images that identify them.

Frequently Asked Questions About Photoroom

Can I use Photoroom images on Amazon and eBay in Australia?

Yes, Photoroom has templates for marketplace image requirements such as white backgrounds and set dimensions. Check each marketplace's current image rules, and make sure edited or generated images still show the product accurately, because misleading product images can breach the Australian Consumer Law.

Is Photoroom free?

There is a free plan, but exports carry a watermark and some tools are limited. Sellers who list products regularly usually need a paid plan to remove watermarks and use batch editing. The API is billed separately by usage, which suits businesses processing large volumes automatically.

Are AI-generated product backgrounds allowed in Australian listings?

Generally yes, as long as the image does not mislead. A generated kitchen bench behind a kettle is fine; changing the product's colour, size or included accessories is not. Keep the product itself unaltered, and check that marketplace rules permit lifestyle backgrounds for the main listing image.
