Consistency: Nowadays, many online consumers are into comparative shopping, and not just by price. Having a consistent visual representation of your products makes it easier for customers to compare them. Sometimes only removing the background and using a white background can create that consistency. Additionally, centering, straightening and rotating the product can provide more views to build confidence in the buyer’s decision on whether they want to buy that specific product.
File size: File size can play a major role when it comes to SEO and the consumer experience online. As having large product photos can make your pages load a lot more slowly which may annoy the consumers and a potential lose of sale. Since faster pages are easier for search engines to index, this can also hurt your SEO credibility.
Reducing the file size of your product photos is very easy and can be done via the Save for Web function in Adobe Photoshop. Apple Preview, online image compression tools, or a photo-resizing service can also be used to accomplish this task.
Mobile-friendliness: Product photos render differently on a mobile device rather than a desktop browser. That is why it is important to account for both types of consumers with the right sized images. Multiple versions of the same product photos can be resized for use on product pages, as thumbnails, etc.
