Why One-At-A-Time Editing Kills E-commerce

A real-world look at what manual editing costs a catalog of 200 SKUs.

12 hr

Time to manually edit 200 product photos in Photoshop (at 3.5 min each)

$240

Cost at $20/hour or roughly $300-$400 via Fiverr

6 min

Same 200 photos through ShotBG bulk on the priority queue

The hidden cost: manual editing is not just expensive — it is inconsistent. A 200-image batch edited by three different freelancers ends up with three different edge-cutting styles, three different shadow choices, and three different white levels. Bulk AI processing gives you one consistent visual identity across every SKU.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many images can I process at once?
Free accounts can process 50 images per batch. Paid plans support up to 1,000 images per batch and 10,000 images per day. Enterprise customers can request unlimited batch processing with a dedicated processing queue.
How fast is bulk processing?
Average processing time is about 2 seconds per image on the standard queue and under 1 second on the priority queue. A 500-image batch typically finishes in under 9 minutes on standard and under 5 minutes on priority. Speed depends on image resolution and complexity.
Will the AI handle every product type consistently?
Yes. The same trimap-based segmentation model runs on every image, so a 500-image batch of mixed jewelry, apparel, and electronics will all use the same edge-detection logic. The result is visual consistency across your entire catalog — something manual editors struggle with.
Can I apply settings to the entire batch?
Yes. Set output resolution, background color, padding percentage, drop shadow, and file format once. ShotBG applies the template to every image in the batch.
What file formats are supported for bulk upload?
JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC (iPhone), and TIFF. You can mix formats in a single batch. Outputs export as transparent PNG, JPG with custom background, or WebP for next-gen web delivery.
Do filenames carry through to the export?
Yes. ShotBG preserves the source filename and appends a suffix (e.g., -shotbg-white) so you can map outputs back to your Shopify or Amazon variant IDs.
Can I integrate bulk processing via API or Zapier?
Yes. The ShotBG API supports batch endpoints. Zapier and Make integrations let you auto-process new uploads from Dropbox, Google Drive, or your Shopify admin.
