Clipping Path
Clipping Path Services for Clean Product Cutouts
A clipping path is a hand-drawn vector outline traced around a product or subject, used to cut it out cleanly from its background. Our editors draw each path by hand, following the shape of the product, including hollow openings such as handles and straps, so the cutout keeps smooth edges and can be placed on any new background.
Hand-drawn clipping path services that cut products cleanly from their backgrounds, with smooth edges ready for any new background.

The basics
What Is Clipping Path?
A clipping path is a closed vector outline drawn around a product or subject in a photo. It separates the subject from its background, so the background can be removed or replaced and the cutout can be placed on a white background, a transparent background, or any new scene.
Clipping paths are used wherever a clean product photo is needed: online stores, marketplaces, catalogs, and advertising. A product on a clean background looks sharper and lets the buyer focus on the product itself instead of a messy background.
A hand-drawn path beats an automatic tool. Automated selection follows pixels and leaves fuzzy, jagged edges, especially around curves and fine detail. A path drawn by hand with the Pen Tool follows the smooth shape of the product, so the edge stays clean even when the image is enlarged.
Clipping path services for e-commerce are used by online stores, marketplace sellers, photographers, and studios that need clean product cutouts at scale. A clipping path for Amazon listings helps sellers meet marketplace image rules, while sellers on eBay and Etsy use the same service to keep their shops looking tidy. Hand-drawn clipping path for product photos is also used in print catalogs and advertising, where a sharp edge matters at large sizes.
Our clipping path service gives you smooth, accurate edges on every image, so products look clean on white, transparent, or styled backgrounds. A good clipping path keeps fine detail intact and saves your team the time of tracing each product by hand. With consistent clipping path services across a catalog, every listing looks neat and professional, and buyers can focus on the product itself.

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is a clipping path, and how is it created?
A clipping path is a closed vector silhouette created manually using Adobe Photoshop's Pen Tool. It isolates a 2D foreground subject from its background with sub-pixel precision. Unlike automated AI magic-wand or selection tools that create fuzzy, jagged pixel artifacts, hand-drawn vector paths follow the smooth, organic curvature of the physical product.
What file formats will you deliver for my completed images?
We deliver in any format you specify: Master Photoshop PSD files with active embedded vector paths, layered TIFFs, transparent background PNGs, and pure white background JPGs (RGB 255, 255, 255). The vector path remains permanently editable in Photoshop's Paths palette for future catalog changes.
Do you keep the clipping path in the delivered file?
Yes. Embedded paths are kept in the file for future edits. Master Photoshop PSD files come with active embedded vector paths that stay editable in Photoshop's Paths palette for future catalog changes.
Which products need a complex or super-complex clipping path?
Products with many curves, holes, and intricate edges need a complex path. Highly detailed products such as jewelry, lace, and mesh need a super-complex path.
Can you cut out products with hollow openings?
Yes. Our editors draw each path by hand, following the shape of the product, including hollow openings such as handles and straps, so the cutout keeps smooth edges.
What is multi-path separation?
Multi-path separation separates parts of a product so each part can be recolored separately.
How long does a clipping path order take?
Turnaround depends on the number of images and the complexity of the paths. Send your images with your guidelines and we will confirm the delivery time before we start.
What file formats can I send?
You can send your images in any standard format, including JPEG, PNG, TIFF, PSD, and RAW. Finished files come back in the format you specify, with the vector path kept editable where the format allows.
Can you handle bulk orders and large catalogs?
Yes. Every file is done by hand, to your guidelines, for single images and high-volume catalogs alike, and the same standard is applied across every file.
Do you offer free revisions?
Yes. If a cutout needs adjusting, we fix it until it matches your guidelines.
Can I try the service before I place a paid order?
Yes. Send a few sample photos through a free trial and judge the work on your own images before you place a paid order.
