What do you clean up in a jewelry photo?

Dust, fingerprints and scratches in the photo, plus dull-looking metal and stones. Metal and stones are brightened so the piece looks clean and sparkling, and the color is kept true to the piece.

Will the stones and metal still look real?

Yes. The editor brightens and cleans, but doesn't change the stones, the metal or the design. A silver ring stays silver and a pale stone stays pale. Listing photos should still show the piece you actually sell.

Can you put the piece on white or a transparent background?

Yes. The editor cuts out the piece, including fine chains and openwork, and deliver it on white, on a background you choose, or as a transparent PNG. We can also add a natural shadow or reflection.

Can you keep a whole collection looking consistent?

Yes. Send the pieces together with the look you want for background, brightness and framing, so a catalog or an Etsy or Shopify shop looks like one set.

What kind of photo should I send?

A sharp, well-lit shot where the whole piece is in focus gives the best result. Very blurry or heavily reflective shots limit what can be cleaned up, and the editor tells you if that's the case.

Is my photo edited by a real person or by AI?

By a real person. A professional editor reads your request, plans the steps your photo needs and chooses the right tool for each one, and a person checks the result before delivery. AI tools help with some steps, such as reducing blur or enlarging a low-resolution photo, but the work is mainly done by hand.

How much does it cost?

Pricing is per photo, in credits, from 1 credit (US$8). The price and delivery time shown at checkout are an estimate. If your edit turns out to need more work than that, the editor pauses that photo and messages you with the extra amount, and nothing more is charged unless you agree. If you decline, that part is dropped and refunded.

How long does it take?

Most orders are back within 24 hours; larger batches take longer, and you'll see an estimate at checkout. There is no paid rush option. If you have a deadline, say so in your order notes and we'll do our best to fit it in, though we can't guarantee a date.

What if I'm not happy with the result?

Ask for changes: revisions are free for 14 days after delivery. They need to follow your original instructions (a new direction counts as a new order). If it still doesn't work out, you get a full refund. The full terms are in our revision policy.

Are my photos kept private?

Yes. We never share your photos or show them publicly, and we never use them for marketing. A few editing steps rely on third-party AI tools — here is exactly which ones, and what we can and can't guarantee. More in our Privacy Policy.
