The Shopify problem

Most Shopify product photos look exactly like every other Shopify product photo

Indie Shopify brands fall into one of two traps: generic AI-tool images that scream "self-service" the second a shopper lands, or a $5,000+ studio shoot they can't afford to repeat every season. Either way, the result is a catalogue that doesn't look like a real brand. Shotless rebuilt the production pipeline so your Shopify catalogue reads like a $50,000 campaign — without the timeline or the invoice.

DIY tools or traditional studio

The two bad options

  • Self-serve AI tool: cheap but generic, no brief, no curation, prompt-driven
  • Traditional studio: $25–$150 per Shopify-ready image plus retouching
  • Inconsistent backgrounds and lighting across SKUs
  • Wrong dimensions for Shopify — manual cropping required
  • Separate spend for hero banners, lifestyle, video, social
  • 2–5 week turnaround when shipping is included
  • No native video integration with Shopify product pages

Built to Shopify image specifications

Every image lands in the exact format Shopify needs

Shopify product images need to be square, high-resolution, and consistent — otherwise the product page looks broken on mobile and the catalogue grid loses cohesion. Shotless delivers every image in Shopify's recommended dimensions plus the social-ready crops you need for Stories, Reels and TikTok Shop integration.

2048 × 2048

Product page primary

Native square aspect for product page main images, zoom-ready resolution that Shopify uses for crisp rendering on retina displays and product zoom modals.

1080 × 1080

Collection page thumbnails

Optimized square crop for collection grids, search results and related-product carousels — same composition focus as the primary, smaller file size.

1920 × 1080 · 16:9

Hero banners & homepage sliders

Wide-format landscape hero shots for homepage banners, collection page covers, blog header images, and email campaign visuals.

Short-form video clips (6–30 seconds) encoded for Shopify's native video player — embed directly on product pages or use as Reels and TikTok ad creatives.

How it works

From Shopify brief to live product page in four days

Text-first, fully remote, no calls. Drop us your product list, your brand mood, and your existing photos — we run the catalogue refresh in the background and ping you when drafts are ready to review.

01

Send your catalogue

Export your Shopify product list (or paste 5–200 SKUs) plus one reference image per product. Brand mood references optional but help us lock the look.

02

Drafts in 24 hours

First hero shots arrive next business day — square Shopify-spec packshots plus your chosen lifestyle contexts and aspect ratios.

03

Brand-lock revisions

You flag what to adjust. We regenerate, recompose, restyle — 2 rounds included until every shot reads as part of the same brand story.

04

Drop into Shopify

All finals delivered as Shopify-ready files — 2048 × 2048 JPEGs, optional WebP, plus social crops and MP4 video ads ready for product pages and paid social.

For every part of your Shopify store

Product pages. Collection heroes. Homepage banners. Shop App cards

A working Shopify catalogue needs five different image types in five different aspect ratios across five different placements. Shotless covers every surface from one brief.

PRODUCT PAGES

Hero packshot + lifestyle gallery

One clean primary packshot plus 3–6 lifestyle and detail shots per product page. Customers scroll the gallery — every image keeps them on the page longer.

COLLECTION GRIDS

Brand-consistent thumbnails

The collection page is your storefront window. Inconsistent thumbnails kill conversion. We lock background, lighting and crop across the entire grid.

HOMEPAGE HEROES

16:9 banners + 4:5 mobile heroes

Wide hero banners for desktop sliders plus portrait crops for mobile homepages — same brand world, optimized per viewport.

EMAIL & SMS

Klaviyo · Postscript ready

Header images, product spotlight crops, and lifestyle hero images sized for your Klaviyo, Postscript or Mailchimp campaigns — drop straight in.

PAID SOCIAL

Meta · TikTok · Pinterest

The same product visuals reformatted for Meta Reels, TikTok Shop, Pinterest pins and Stories — your Shopify catalogue and paid social finally match.

SHOP APP

Shop App & Shop Pay cards

Shopify's Shop app and Shop Pay express checkout show your products in card layouts that need crisp 1:1 thumbnails — same source render, perfect crop.

Shopify product photography — FAQ

What Shopify brands ask before they brief us

What size should Shopify product photos be?
Shopify recommends 2048 × 2048 pixels for product page primary images — high enough for retina displays and product zoom modals. Collection thumbnails render at 1080 × 1080. We deliver every Shopify product photo at 2048 × 2048 minimum, plus 9:16, 1:1 and 16:9 crops for social and homepage banners, all from the same source render.
How much does Shopify product photography cost in Canada?
Traditional Canadian studios charge $25–$150 per Shopify-ready image with retouching, studio fees and revisions billed separately — typical 50-SKU catalogue refresh runs $4,000–$8,000. Shotless delivers Shopify-spec product photography from $20 per photo, all-in. A full Brand Starter Pack with 50 stills plus 6 video ads is $1,900.
Do you deliver Shopify-ready file formats and sizes?
Yes — every image arrives as a 2048 × 2048 web-optimized JPEG (plus optional WebP for faster page loads). Video ads ship as MP4 in 9:16, 1:1 and 16:9 with platform-specific encoding for Meta, TikTok, YouTube and Shopify's native product page video player. Drop straight into Shopify admin — no resizing, no recompression.
Can you produce Shopify hero banner images and collection page covers?
Yes — alongside square product page photos we deliver 16:9 landscape banners for homepage sliders and collection covers, plus 4:5 portrait crops for Instagram Shop integration and mobile-first homepage heroes. Same brand world across every aspect ratio — your Shopify catalogue stays visually coherent from product page to homepage to social.
Will my Shopify product photos look consistent across the catalogue?
Yes — that's the AI advantage over traditional studios. Lighting, background, angle, color palette and styling stay locked across every SKU because the same brand parameters drive every render. Catalogues read as one coherent visual story even across 200+ products. Traditional studios often vary shoot-to-shoot as light changes and stylists swap; we don't.
Can you refresh my entire Shopify catalogue in one project?
Yes — full catalogue refreshes are our core use case. Send your product list and one reference image per SKU, we deliver a brand-consistent catalogue with 4 scene contexts per product in 4–10 days depending on volume. Most indie Canadian Shopify brands refresh 30–200 SKUs per project.
Do you produce Shopify product video ads too?
Yes — short-form video ads at 6, 15 and 30 seconds in 9:16, 1:1 and 16:9. Hero loops embed beautifully on Shopify product pages (native video player), and double as Meta Reels and TikTok Shop ad creatives — same brand world as your stills.
What's the turnaround for a Shopify catalogue refresh?
Drafts arrive 24 hours after the brief. Finals — including 2 rounds of revisions — land in 4 days end-to-end for a 50-SKU starter project. Larger catalogues (100–200+ SKUs) take 7–10 days. Traditional Canadian studios quote 2–5 weeks once shipping and scheduling are factored in.
Do you work with Shopify Plus stores?
Yes — Shopify Plus stores often need larger-volume catalogue refreshes and dedicated brand worlds. We scope these as custom retainers — typically 100–500+ SKUs per month with a brand-locked visual identity that stays consistent across every product launch, season and campaign.
