FAQ

FAQ about Ymage alternatives

What is Ymage?

Ymage provides visual product content as a service: outsourced image editing such as cut-outs, retouching and ghost mannequin, plus 3D models, virtual photography, animations and AR.

How does Ymage pricing work?

Image editing is billed per image on a pay-as-you-go basis, without monthly fees; each additional edit raises the price per image slightly. For large volumes or special projects you get a quote with a volume discount. Current amounts are on the Ymage site.

When is Ymage the better choice?

When you deliberately outsource image editing, 3D visualization or AR, or want product images rendered from a 3D model instead of photographed.

Can Photopilot remove backgrounds in bulk?

Yes. Every photo from the studio, a supplier or an upload automatically gets the background, layout crop and shadow that belong to its product type. Trousers are cropped differently from a bag, without anyone choosing settings per image.

What does Photopilot do that an editing service does not?

Photopilot links every image to the right product on EAN, article number and color, fills gaps in the set with AI model photos from the packshot and publishes after review to Shopware, Shopify, WooCommerce or BigCommerce.
