White background
A pure white backdrop for clean, distraction-free product photos.
What is white background?
A white background (sometimes called infinity white or seamless white) is the standard for e-commerce product photography. Amazon requires main images on pure white (#FFFFFF) backgrounds. White backgrounds eliminate distractions, make products stand out, ensure consistency across catalogs, and are expected by online shoppers. Achieving pure white requires proper lighting - the background must be lit separately and be brighter than the subject to prevent it from appearing gray.
Pro tips
Light the background 1-2 stops brighter than the product
Use backdrop paper or fabric that sweeps down to avoid visible edges
Check histogram - pure white should read RGB 255,255,255
