Basic Product Photo Cleanup with ChatGPT - Useful Prompts
Last updated: November 27, 2025
Standard product cleanup (no crop, full size)
Goal: Standard product cleanup (no crop, full size)
Copy & paste this into the ChatGPT prompt area; modify as appropriate:
Using the attached product photo shot in a light tent, clean up the background and make it smooth and even while keeping the current overall look. Remove dust, lint, and specks on the product and background. Correct white balance so the whites look neutral, and gently improve contrast and clarity so details are sharp but natural. Do not crop or zoom the image in any way and do not reduce the pixel dimensions; keep the full original frame visible. Center the product if needed without cropping.
Goal: Background to pure white (Amazon-style), no crop
Copy & paste this into the ChatGPT prompt area; modify as appropriate:
Using the attached product photo, convert the background to a clean, solid pure white while keeping edges crisp around the product. Remove any dust, wrinkles, or color casts in the background. Correct white balance so the product colors are accurate and natural. Apply light noise reduction and mild sharpening. Do not crop, zoom, or resize the image; keep the full original pixel dimensions and full frame.
Goal: Extend existing light-tent background (not stark white), no crop
Copy & paste this into the ChatGPT prompt area; modify as appropriate:
Using the attached product photo from a light tent, clean up and extend the existing light off-white background so it looks smooth and continuous, preserving the soft gradients rather than switching to a pure solid white. Remove any visible seams, hot spots, or dark corners. Remove dust and small debris. Keep the full original framing and pixel dimensions with no cropping or zooming; the background should look like a naturally extended version of what is already there.
