Turn Browsers Into Buyers

Etsy's algorithm favors listings with high click-through rates. Our VAs ensure your product photos look premium, trustworthy, and perfectly formatted to drive sales.

Retouching & Clean Up

Transform raw smartphone photos into clean, professional e-commerce assets.

  • Background Removal: Deep-etching products and placing them on pure white or branded color backgrounds.
  • Color Correction: Adjusting white balance and exposure so your product colors look true-to-life, reducing return rates.
  • Blemish Removal: Cloning out dust, scratches, and unwanted reflections from product surfaces.

Lifestyle Mockups

Help customers visualize the product in their lives without organizing expensive photoshoots.

  • Digital Product Placement: Seamlessly inserting your artwork, SVGs, or designs into stylized room frames or digital device screens.
  • Apparel Mockups: Applying your designs onto blank t-shirts, mugs, or tote bags with realistic displacement maps and shadows.
  • Shadow & Lighting Matching: Ensuring the placed item casts realistic shadows within the stock scene.

Listing Infographics

Etsy buyers rarely read descriptions. Answer their questions visually in the image carousel.

  • Size & Scale Guides: Creating visual dimension graphics so buyers understand exactly how large the item is.
  • Feature Callouts: Designing text-overlay images highlighting materials, shipping times, or customization options.
  • Formatting for Etsy: Resizing all final assets to Etsy's strict 2000px resolution and 4:3 or 1:1 aspect ratios.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do your VAs use Photoshop or Canva?
We use both, depending on your needs. For advanced color correction, deep-etching, and complex shadow manipulation, our VAs utilize Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom. For rapid infographic creation, text overlays, and basic mockups, we highly utilize Canva Pro.
How do I transfer my raw photos to the VA?
Your dedicated Project Manager will establish a secure, shared Google Drive or Dropbox folder structure. You simply dump your raw photos from your camera or smartphone into the "To Edit" folder, and the VA will upload the finalized, resized versions into the "Completed" folder.
Can the VA directly upload the photos to my Etsy listings?
Yes. If you grant the VA delegated access to your Etsy Shop Manager (or Shopify backend), they can load the edited photos directly into the listing drafts, arrange them in the optimal order, and ensure the thumbnail is perfectly cropped before you hit publish.
Why do I need a Project Manager if I am hiring a Photo Editor?
Visual consistency is critical for branding. Your free Sagedoer Project Manager acts as an internal Art Director. They QA audit the VA's work to ensure color grading is consistent across the batch, edges are cleanly masked, and the final files meet Etsy's specific aspect ratio requirements before you ever review them.
