Product cutout with a soft natural shadow

This prompt cuts your product out of the photo and places it on pure white, keeping its shape, colours and label with a soft natural shadow.

Cut out the [PRODUCT] from this photo and place it on a pure white background. Keep the product's shape, colours, label text and details exactly as they are.

Add a soft natural contact shadow below it and a subtle reflection. Remove dust and small marks, but do not change the product itself.

For marketplaces, use a square 1:1 image with the product filling 85% of the frame.

Your photo goes to the AI app you choose, never to PromptUp.

What you will get

Your product on a pure white background with its shape, colours and label text unchanged, a soft natural contact shadow and a subtle reflection, with dust and small marks removed.

Why it works

Marketplaces want a plain white background, so the prompt cuts out the product and keeps its shape, colours and label exactly as they are. A soft contact shadow and subtle reflection stop it from floating. Removing dust is allowed, changing the product is not.

Common mistake

The label text is altered or turns into gibberish.

Fix: Repeat “keep the label text exactly as it is” and use a sharp, straight-on photo. If words still change, paste the original label back in an editor.

Also watch for
  • The white is slightly grey, so the product looks dull next to a white page. Say “pure white, no gradient, no vignette”, and open the result beside a white page to compare.
  • The shadow is hard, or it floats away from the product. Ask for “a soft shadow that touches the base of the product and fades outward”. The tip’s square 1:1 crop with 85% fill finishes the job.
Try a variation: shadow only

For small, matte items drop the reflection: “white background, soft shadow only, no reflection”. A clean shadow alone is often enough.

Keep everything else exactly as in the original photo. Only change what I asked for.
