Best tools for taking and managing product photos for items?

Hey all, how do you all manage your product photos? Everything including taking them, updating them, uploading them. I’m wondering about:

  • Services or studios for taking and editing photos?

  • Automated services for managing your product assets for your store?

  • How do people manage updating and changing assets as they release new products?

  • Are there any good apps for integrating into their shopify store?

What should I expect to be the most troublesome part?

Hello @stylized
I would like to give you some recommendations to support you.

You want to manage all your product images, you can consider to try the SyncIMG app
SyncIMG app helps you to manage all your product images right inside your Dropbox folder like any file you do on your computer.

I hope the above is useful to you.
Kind & Best regards!

Hi there, these are some great questions!

As far as Shopify specific resources, you can check the Shopify App store here for photo optimization and photo resizing apps.

Outside of that, it really just depends on what you have available to you as far as resources and skill-sets. Images can be hosted in the Shopify File section located in your admin, or on a third-party hosting site.

Taking photos can be outsourced to a photographer or you can use some guides to learn how to take your own - all with a smartphone camera! Shopify even offers a free course on exactly this -check it out here.

As far as organization, depending on the number of products you manage, you may want to consider hiring an Expert to guide you or lend a hand with the process.

I hope that helps! If I can answer any further questions or offer any clarification just let me know!
