• Be clear and not blurry;
• Match the actual appearance of the product;
• Not contain unnecessary elements;
• Be correctly cropped to the product outline.

1. Open the image in Photoshop;
2. Unlock the layer;

To do this, click the "Lock" icon in the Layers panel — after that, the layer will become available for editing:

Select the "Object Selection" tool, select the background, and press "Delete" or "Backspace" to remove it:

4. Crop the image;

Select the product and use the "Crop" tool. Confirm cropping by pressing "Enter":

5. Export the image;

In the top menu, go to: File → Export → Export As…
