In product photography, the most common use of a clipping path is to remove the background from a product image. The clipping path goes around the product, which can then be placed on another background or saved as a transparent image. pic.twitter.com/jRQtJNiN4U

Removing Background For Sales Reasons

E-commerce is the world’s largest marketplace. More than ever before businesses are experience a global boom in sales. You may have a popcorn company headquartered in a town of 3,200 people, but may ship to thousands of customers around the globe. The biggest asset in these sales is not only a great search engine optimization plan, but also high quality images. In person, sales personnel have about three minutes to make an impression. With online sales, that time period is cut down to literally seconds.

We remove background from image to focus on the product being sold. The biggest details that drive online sales are 1) a catchy description and 2) an image that attracts attention. You never want to mislead potential customers, but at the same time it’s important to make the product images as attractive as possible.

Removing a Background For Aesthetic Purposes

Besides product images, one of the other major benefactors when you remove background from image is company logos. In this instance, removing the background actually means making it transparent. Logos are usually created by default with a white background. That white background looks unprofessional on a gray business card or a blue T-shirt or a red website header.

Companies with a-black-background-and-light-color-vector as the main logo, what are you thinking?

Of course there are other aesthetic reasons to remove a background. As stated earlier, there may be obscene gestures in the background or something you simply don’t want included. There’s no sense in letting an unwanted background ruin a once in a lifetime photo moment such as a wedding or graduation.
