bitPhoto on Mac: a batch of product photos, each cut out and previewed on pure white.

What bitPhoto does

bitPhoto prepares product photos for online listings. It cuts out the product in each photo on your device, places it on a clean backdrop and exports every image at the sizes marketplaces ask for, for a whole batch at once.

On Mac

  1. Drag photos or a folder into the window, or choose File → Add Photos. Each photo is marked ready when its cutout is done.
  2. In the right-hand panel, choose a backdrop, product size, soft shadow, auto enhance and the export sizes. Use Preview as in the toolbar to see each size.
  3. If a cutout missed something, click Touch Up Cutout and paint with Erase or Restore. ⌘Z undoes a stroke.
  4. Choose File → Export All or Export Selected Photo and pick a folder. Saving exports needs bitPhoto Pro.
  5. Choose File → Save to keep the batch as a bitPhoto project and reopen it later with every cutout intact.

On iPhone

  1. Tap + and pick photos from your library.
  2. Tap the sliders button to set the backdrop, product size and export sizes.
  3. Tap a photo to preview it, and tap Touch Up Cutout to fix an edge.
  4. Tap Export, then save the images to Photos or share them.

Tips for clean cutouts

  • Shoot the product against a background that contrasts with it, with even light.
  • Use photos at least 1000 pixels on the short side; bitPhoto warns when a photo is smaller.
  • If “No product found” appears, try a photo where the product stands apart from its surroundings.
  • Main-image exports always use a pure white background with the product at 85% of the frame.

Subscription

On Mac, editing and previews are free; saving exports needs bitPhoto Pro. On iPhone, bitPhoto needs bitPhoto Pro. One subscription works on both. Use Restore Purchases on the subscription screen after reinstalling, and manage or cancel in your Apple Account subscription settings.

Privacy

Cutouts run on your device with Apple’s Vision framework. Photos are not uploaded and there is no account. Read the bitPhoto privacy section.
