How to Make Shopee Product Photos That Sell for 11.11

By BentaShots PH · Published 24 Oct 2026 · 6 min read

During 11.11, shoppers scroll through hundreds of near-identical listings. Your cover photo is the first thing they judge. The good news: Shopee publishes exactly what it wants, and most of it is free to do with a phone. Here's the checklist we use, based on Shopee PH's own Seller Education Hub.

Shopee's official image rules (summary)

Step 1: Shoot a clean phone photo

• Light: near a window in the daytime, no direct harsh sun. Turn off the yellow ceiling light so colors stay true.
• Background: a sheet of white bond paper or cartolina curved up a wall works as a mini "infinity" backdrop.
• Angle: straight-on or about 30°, like Shopee recommends. Hold the phone steady or prop it on books.
• Fill the frame: the product should take up at least 70% of the square. Leave a little space so it isn't cropped.
• Clean the product: wipe off dust and fingerprints. They show up clearly on a phone camera.
• Take 3–5 angles: front, back (label/ingredients), side, and one "in use" or in-hand shot.

Step 2: Plan your 9 images

Use the slots to answer the questions shoppers would ask in chat. Shopee itself suggests showing different angles, specifications, the product in use, and variations. A simple 11.11 plan:

1. Cover: product on white, no text.
2. Second angle (back/label).
3. Close-up of texture, material or ingredients.
4. In-use or lifestyle scene.
5. Size reference (in hand, or next to a common object).
6. Variations/colors side by side.
7. Specs or "what's inside" image with short text.
8. Seasonal 11.11 / Pasko image (graphics are fine here, not on the cover).
9. Trust image: packaging, delivery, or guarantee.

Step 3: Add a short video

Shopee lets you add a product video. Per the Media Space rules, keep it MP4, 10–60 seconds and under 30MB. Show the product turning, being opened or used. If the video includes AI-generated scenes, say so in your listing or caption. Honesty protects your ratings.

Step 4: Keep it truthful

Editing the background and light is fine. Changing the product is not. Don't make a pouch look bigger, a color look different, or add contents that aren't in the box. It leads to returns and bad reviews, especially during 11.11 volume. Also, never copy photos from another seller or brand; Shopee removes those.

Step 5: Do it early

Shopee PH runs its 11.11 campaign over several days in early November, with the biggest traffic on 11.11 itself. Check your Seller Centre for your own campaign registration deadlines, and have new photos uploaded before then, not on the day.
