Shadow Making Service

A product floating on white looks fake. We add a natural shadow, keep the original one or create a reflection, so products sit on the page as if they were shot there.

Priced by how complex the image is

  1. Basic

    A simple drop shadow under a single product.

  2. Medium

    An original or natural shadow on a complex shape.

  3. Complex

    Reflections, product groups or shadows matched across a set.

How pricing works

Quality

How every image is checked

Our software builds check views from the delivered files. Then a QA reviewer approves the image or sends it back to the editor with notes.

  • A shadow view that shows the shadow layer on its own
  • PSD layers checked against the structure in your template
  • Placement measured against your margins and alignment
FAQ

Questions about Shadow Making

Can I turn the shadow off later?

Yes. The shadow sits on its own layer in the PSD, so you can hide, soften or remove it.
