Remove Background Of Image - Only Leave The Chosen Shape - Dawn Theme

Topic summary

A Shopify store owner using the Dawn theme wants to remove the background from product images, leaving only the custom shape (in this case, an arch) visible from their product customizer.

Problem: Product images display with backgrounds instead of showing only the selected shape overlay.

Solutions Provided:
Multiple users offered CSS-based solutions with slight variations:

  • Method 1 (DaisyVo & B2Bridge): Add CSS code to theme.liquid file above the </head> tag
  • Method 2 (LizHoang): Add the same CSS to base.css file at the end

Both approaches use the CSS rule:

.card__inner {
    background: transparent !important;
}

Outcome: The issue appears resolved, with the original poster thanking all contributors. The solution makes product card backgrounds transparent, allowing only the shaped product images to display.

Hi there,

I am hoping someone can help me please.

I would like to remove the background of the product images so that it is only the shape that is chosen in the customiser left.

So in this case it would be the arch.

What would be the best way to go about this?

Thanks in advance!
