How can I photograph my product?

Use any modern (smartphone) camera to film your product. Focus on the product and record a video while slowly circling around it, keeping it within the frame.

No special equipment is required, though a professional setup can yield even better results. We recommend filming in 4K even for the HD quality renders (4K corrects for subsampling, technically).

The engine will automatically remove the background, but for best results, use a background that contrasts with your subject.

  • Keep the product in focus and within the frame.
  • Use autofocus apps for small subjects if needed.
  • Spin around the subject slowly (30 seconds to 1 minute works well).
  • Use a background color that contrasts with your product.
  • Use soft lighting to diffuse harsh shadows.

Don't have a turntable? No problem! For more detailed settings, see our recommended photography settings.
