How Visual Quality Improves Dropshipping Sales

Regarding eCommerce, it’s impossible to overstate the importance of visuals; i.e. product photos, videos, etc. The quality of product images has a significant impact on marketplace performance and can either make or break your dropshipping business. Here are the different ways visual content improves sales operations.
 

1. Greater Trust

Unlike buying from brick-and-mortar stores, online marketplaces are handicapped when it comes to representing a product. In a physical store, customers can pick up and touch items, look at them from different angles, get a better feel of the quality, and use all of their senses to make a judgment, which ultimately contributes to their purchasing decision.

This is not the case with online stores, where their only reference for the quality of the product is visuals. So, online vendors and dropshippers must put extra care and effort into producing product photos that can convince prospective customers to buy their goods. 

In order to gain the trust of their clients, sellers must present them with high-quality and details product visuals that accurately communicate the quality of the product.

2. Promise of Quality

Even if an online vendor is selling a product of impeccable quality, bad product images will leave potential buyers hesitant. And considering how in online shopping, decisions can be made in a split-second, this extra bit of hesitation could be a deal breaker for many customers.

With high-quality product images, dropshippers make a promise of quality to their customers and leave less room for hesitation or second thoughts. When a buyer finds a quality product that also looks the part, they’re more likely to proceed to the checkout.

3. Brand Perception

High quality, and more to the point consistent high quality, goes hand-in-hand with improving brand awareness and impressions. Imagine looking through the online store of a multi-billion dollar manufacturer like Adidas, Apple, or Rolex, and finding product photos that are all over the place. You’d likely question the quality of their products.

But these companies have millions of dollars worth of marketing behind them, a privilege most dropshippers don’t have. This means it’s even more important for online sellers to use professional product visuals in order to improve their brand perception and convince consumers that their products can be trusted.
 

What Claid.ai Offers

In terms of how image quality can positively impact dropshipping businesses, how does Claid.ai help in this regard? On paper, maintaining high levels of visual consistency sounds easy, right? Dropshippers have access to a ton of photos of the products they’re buying and selling, so chances are, some of this visual content is professional.

That’s really not the case. Dropshipping requires working with a number of vendors and wholesellers, from different parts of the world. And this inconsistency of where products are sourced from also bleeds into the quality of visual content, which tends to be all over the place.

Claid.ai is an API that specializes in optimizing product images to not only to consistent quality, but also maintain image guidelines for the most popular eCommerce platforms, such as Amazon, eBay, Etsy, DoorDash, etc.
 

Improved Image Quality

Claid.ai is capable of improving the quality of product visuals to suit the modern expectations of eCommerce shoppers. As a dropshipper, the last thing you want is customers barely able to decipher the product you’re selling and tell the details apart.

This is why Claid.ai is such a trusted platform for many online vendors and dropshippers; it is great at improving the quality of product images in places that matter. It comes with a huge number of tools and functions that allow you to enable and customize whichever enhancement your product visuals require.
 

Background Removal and Generation

The last thing any product image needs is a needlessly distracting background. Claid.ai can automatically remove the background of product images, leaving behind a blank canvas for product managers to use for further brand personalization. And what might that extra bit of branding be?

Background generation with AI Photoshoot, a built-in function that can create high-res backgrounds optimized specifically for product photos. All you need to do is type in a text prompt as you would with any other AI image generator and within seconds, AI Photoshoot will turn any boring product visual content into something way more professional and stunning.

The image renderer is super accessible as you don’t need any experience in coding to use it. In fact, you can check out our official guide on how to write image prompts for AI Photoshoot to get the exact results you’re looking for.
 

Consistency All Across the Board

And finally, one of the biggest, if not the most fundamental benefit of using Claid.ai is that it can maintain laser-focused consistency across all product images and visual content. It’s important to keep in mind, that simply having a few high-quality visuals will not suffice in building up a online brand presence.

As a dropshipper, maintaining consistent visuals is just as important as the quality of the visuals themselves. Luckily, the Claid.ai API is very good at optimizing images to keep them all consistent. For example, if the padding on one image is 20%, then that should more or less be the case for all other product images. Do you align one product image with the center of the canvas? Claid.ai will ensure that all product images are perfectly aligned to the same position.

There are obviously a ton more intricacies to achieving visual consistency for product photos and Claid.ai makes short work of this otherwise difficult-to-manage task.
 

Step-by-Step Guide to Restoring Image Quality

Enhancing product visuals with Claid.ai is a very simple process and takes a very short amount of time. Here's how this can be done.
 

Step. 1: Upload image

Upload the image from your device into the Claid.ai dashboard to get started.

Step 2: Enhance quality

Choose from a variety of upscale and enhancement setting to improve the general quality of the image. These settings will increase the resolution and DPI (dot-per-inch) of the original product image to reduce blur, pixelation, and sharpen the finer details of the picture. 

Step 3: Resize and fit image

Choose the resolution size for your image and Claid.ai will automatically adjust it to that particular resolution. You can also automatically align the product image on the canvas, such as adjusting it to fit perfectly in the center.

Step 4: Color adjustment

If necessary, you can adjust the lighting and color of your product image using Claid.ai.

Note: Some eCommerce platforms do not allow vendors to apply filters or adjust the color of their product images in any way, so make sure you understand the guidelines of the online marketplace before making any adjustments. 

Step 5: Background

Automatically remove the background of your product image and replace it with either a transparent canvas or a single solid color. 

Step 6: Padding

Different eCommerce marketplaces have different guidelines for product image padding. However, to ensure that the product looks big enough on the canvas and there's not too much empty space, do not aim for more than 20% padding in your product photo.

Step 7: Select file type and start processing

Depending on the type of image you'd like to download, the image type needs to change accordingly. Since in this example we selected a transparent background, we should export the image as PNG.

Step 8: Download

Once the image has finished processing, click the download button to save it to your device.

Why Use AI for Product Images?

With all that in mind, why use AI when all of these adjustments can be performed by hand? While you can absolutely meticulously go through all your product images (which sometimes can be as many as several thousand) to edit and enhance them yourself, but the big question is why would you do that when AI offers a number of benefits.

1. AI is much faster. All those thousands of product images you enhance and edit will take you hours upon hours of menial labor to accomplish. With AI, it's a matter of minutes, in some cases even less. This means you'll have product images ready much sooner.
2. When working with AI, you don't need professional equipment and hardware to create high-quality product images. One of the biggest obstacles dropshippers face is the paywall that comes with the price tag on most professional photo editing software. With Claid.ai, you don't have to worry about investing potentially thousands in professional equipment, hardware, and software just to create a few product photos.
3. Greater consistency is only made possible with AI. While a trained human eye and hand can most certainly edit and enhance product images while maintaining consistency, human error is always a factor you should take into account. Even the most seasoned image editor is bound to make a mistake or two. But this is not the case with AI, which is laser-accurate and can make all images look consistent across the board, doesn't matter if you're enhancing, 1, 100, or 10,000 product photos.
4. More room for error is always a big plus. Imagine spending hours editing an image only to notice a critical error and being forced to do it all over again. This is not a problem with AI which almost instantaneously can reproduce results and readjust images.
