The fastest way to spot an amateur product edit is a product floating on white with no shadow. The fix is small but makes a big difference: a soft shadow where the product meets the ground. This tool adds that, or a drop shadow, a sun shadow or a glossy reflection, following your product’s real shape.

Types of product shadows

A contact shadow is thin and dark right at the base; it is the most natural choice for catalog images. A drop shadow spreads softly behind or beside the product and adds depth. A hard cast shadow suggests direct sunlight and suits summer or lifestyle images. A floating shadow, set a little below the product, is used for levitating product shots.

When to use a reflection

Mirror reflections suggest a glossy surface and work well for electronics, watches, perfume and cosmetics. Keep them subtle and fading, so the product stays the hero and the image still reads as clean at thumbnail size.

Keep light consistent across your catalog

If one product casts a shadow to the left and the next to the right, your store looks inconsistent. Pick one shadow type and direction for your whole catalog, and use the same chip for every product.

FAQ

Product Shadow Generator: questions sellers ask

Why add a shadow to a product photo?

A cut-out product on white with no shadow looks like it is floating. A soft contact shadow tells the eye the product is sitting on a surface, which makes the image look like a real photograph.

Which shadow should I use for Amazon?

A faint natural contact shadow is widely used on white main images. Keep it soft and neutral grey so the background stays pure white around it. Check your category’s current image rules.

Can it add a reflection instead?

Yes. Tap “Mirror reflection” to add a glossy-surface reflection under the product. It suits electronics, watches, bottles and cosmetics.

Can it fix a bad shadow?

Yes. Ask it to remove a harsh or doubled shadow and replace it with a single soft one.

Is Product Shadow Generator free?

Yes. Product Shadow Generator is free to use — no account and no credit card needed. You get free edits every day.

How accurate is Product Shadow Generator?

Results depend on the photo and the request. You can refine with follow-up messages until it looks the way you want.
