Editing product photos and videos outside Shopify means exporting the files, running them through a separate tool, then re-uploading the results — three extra steps every time you add a new product. The AutoPhotos app on the Shopify App Store removes that friction: a 15-in-1 AI toolkit for Shopify product photos and videos — background removal, upscaling, color correction, captions, and more — directly inside your admin, with the result written straight back to the product.

Why Edit Photos Inside Shopify Instead of Separately

Shopify itself does not include a dedicated AI background removal workflow built into the product editor for every plan tier, so most merchants either edit images before upload or install a separate app. Doing it from inside the app you already use for the rest of your catalog has a few concrete advantages:

• No file round-tripping — pick the product, run the tool, the result lands back on the same product automatically.
• Consistent results across the catalog — every photo gets the same background treatment, so listings don't look like they came from different sources.
• No design software required — there is nothing to learn beyond picking a product and clicking a button.

Installing the AutoPhotos App from the Shopify App Store

1. Go to the Shopify App Store and search for "AutoPhotos".
2. Click Install and approve the requested permissions.
3. Open the app from your Shopify admin — no separate account setup or API keys to copy, the app connects automatically through Shopify's own authentication.
4. Pick a product, choose a tool, and process the photo — the result is written back to that product's image gallery.

Unlike the WooCommerce integration, which offers a choice between the AutoPhotos panel and a WordPress plugin, the Shopify app is the single way in — everything happens inside your Shopify admin.

A Complete 15-in-1 AI Toolkit: Tools Available in the Shopify App

The Shopify app isn't just a background remover — it's a full 15-in-1 AI toolkit covering 9 photo tools and 6 video tools, all working directly against your product catalog.

Photo tools (9)

• Background removal — transparent, white, custom color, gradient, or your own custom photo background.
• Drop shadow — shadow type, intensity, blur, and offset, matched 1:1 with the main site's options.
• Color correction — fix white balance and exposure.
• Auto-crop — center and crop to a consistent aspect ratio across the catalog.
• AI upscale — 2x or 4x, for low-resolution supplier photos.
• Colorize — add natural color to black-and-white or faded product photos.
• Recolor — change product or clothing color without a reshoot.
• Face restore — sharpen and repair blurry or low-quality faces in model photos.
• Face rejuvenate — smooth skin tone and reduce blemishes automatically.

Video tools (6)

• Background removal — pick one product video to process, no green screen needed.
• Compress — shrink file size while keeping visible quality.
• Reframe — recenter and crop video to a different aspect ratio automatically.
• Remove silence — cut dead air and pauses out of product or demo videos.
• Clean audio — reduce background noise for clearer voiceovers.
• Add captions — auto-generate and burn in captions for silent autoplay.

That's all 15 tools built into the Shopify app. AutoPhotos also has Describe and Magic Eraser, available directly on autophotos.ai outside the Shopify connection.

Pricing: a Shared Daily Free Allowance

The app includes 10 free edits per day, shared across all 15 tools combined — not 10 per tool. Running a handful of different tools on ten different products in one day is normal usage and covered by the free allowance; paid plans lift that limit for stores processing photos and video at higher volume.

Conclusion

Installing the AutoPhotos app is the fastest way to get AI background removal, shadows, color correction, cropping, upscaling, and a full set of video editing tools working directly against your Shopify product catalog — no exporting images or videos to a separate tool and re-uploading the results.
