Batch-process product photos — resize, compress, remove backgrounds, add alt text

Product images that are too large slow your site. Images without white backgrounds get rejected by Amazon. Images without alt text hurt your SEO. This recipe processes your entire image library in one pass.

PROMPT

Process my product images in batch. Source: [folder path / store API / URL list]. For each image: (1) remove the background and replace with pure white, (2) resize to [dimensions] for [Amazon/Shopify/eBay], (3) compress for web performance (target: under 200KB per image), (4) convert to WebP format, (5) generate descriptive alt text based on the product name and visible attributes. Output processed images to [folder] and generate a CSV mapping original filenames to new filenames and alt text. Optionally push alt text directly to my [Shopify/WooCommerce] store via API.

How It Works

Your Claw processes product images in batch using CLI tools and AI services.

It can remove backgrounds, resize to platform-specific dimensions, compress

for web performance, convert to WebP, and generate descriptive alt text —

all without opening Photoshop.

What You Get

  • Background removal for marketplace compliance (white background)
  • Resizing to platform-specific dimensions (Amazon, Shopify, eBay, social media)
  • Compression and WebP conversion for page speed improvement
  • Alt text generation from product attributes and image content
  • Bulk processing of entire image libraries
  • Compliance checking against marketplace image requirements

Setup Steps

  1. Point your Claw at your product images (folder, URL list, or pull from store API)
  2. Choose which operations to run (background removal, resize, compress, alt text)
  3. Set target platforms and their dimension requirements
  4. Run the batch and review a sample of results
  5. Push processed images and alt text back to your store via API

Tips

  • Amazon requires minimum 1000×1000px with pure white background on the main image
  • WebP format reduces file size by 25–35% vs JPEG with no visible quality loss
  • Alt text should describe the product, not just repeat the product name
  • Process images before uploading to your store, not after — avoids re-uploading
  • Keep originals in a backup folder in case you need to re-process with different settings
