Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featurePhotoPad automatically trims whitespace, removes backgrounds using local AI, and adds consistent padding to your product images. Set your padding percentage, background color, and aspect ratio, then process your entire catalog in bulk. Use Dry Run to preview changes before applying. Supports 1:1, 4:5, 3:4, and 16:9 aspect ratios. Processed images can replace originals or be added alongside them.
Give your store a consistent, professional look that builds trust and turns browsers into buyers. Pixc uses AI background removal to remove the background from every product photo, replacing it with clean white, a custom colour, or a transparent PNG. Every image matches the same uniform style — the kind of polished product grid that signals a premium brand. Higher trust, higher conversion, more sales.
