White Background Product Images with AI: How-To

How to generate clean white background product images with AI using Polaris inside Claude, step by step with pro tips.

GuideJul 15, 2026·2 min read

To generate white background product images with AI, connect Polaris to Claude, attach your product photo, ask for a clean white background version, choose settings from the tappable option cards, and let the live panel render the finished image.

What you need

  • A photo of the product, ideally shot with reasonably even lighting so the subject is easy to isolate.
  • A note on any specific requirements — pure white vs. off-white, shadow or no shadow, straight-on angle.
  • The Polaris MCP connector added to Claude, a one-time setup.

Step-by-step: generating white background images

  1. Add the connector. Connect Polaris at polarisugc.com/api/mcp inside Claude and authorize it once.
  2. Attach the photo and make the request. Example: "put this product on a clean white background, straight-on angle, subtle shadow."
  3. Choose settings via option cards. Claude presents tappable cards for image model and aspect ratio instead of requiring technical input.
  4. Watch the live render. The Polaris panel shows progress in the conversation, then the finished image, typically within 20 to 180 seconds.
  5. Batch your full catalog. Ask for multiple products in one request so they render as a parallel batch rather than one at a time.
  6. Download the ZIP. Once the batch finishes, download every image together instead of one by one.
  7. Fix any outliers with Recreate. If one image in a batch has an odd shadow or crop, use one-click Recreate on just that one rather than redoing the whole set.

Pro tips

  • Keep the angle and framing consistent across a batch so your catalog looks uniform once every image is generated.
  • Specify shadow preference explicitly (subtle drop shadow vs. none) since marketplaces often have specific requirements here.
  • Run a small batch first to confirm the look before sending your entire catalog through in one request.
  • Failed renders auto-refund, so testing a batch at scale doesn't carry wasted-credit risk.

Honest caveats

Because Polaris regenerates the image from your actual product photo, results are only as good as the source — heavy shadows, clutter, or poor lighting in the original photo can carry through into the output. Review each image before uploading to a marketplace with strict listing requirements, since automated generation is a strong starting point but not a guaranteed pass on every platform's specific rules. If your product is in a regulated category, make sure any accompanying listing copy stays compliant on its own terms.

Where this fits

Clean product images feed the same broader creative workflow used for AI UGC ads, just aimed at catalog use. For how the Claude-based generation flow works overall, see this guide. Check pricing for credit details, or use the app as a browser-based alternative.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get a white background version of my product photo?
Attach your existing product photo in Claude chat and ask Polaris to place it on a clean white background. Settings are chosen via tappable option cards and the result renders in a live panel.
Which models generate the white background images?
Polaris uses Nano Banana Pro or GPT Image 2 for image generation, selected through the option cards during the request.
Can I batch white background shots for a whole catalog?
Yes, Polaris supports parallel batches, so you can request multiple product photos at once and download them together as a ZIP.
Is a design tool needed to clean up the background afterward?
No, the generation itself produces the finished white background shot — no separate background-removal or editing tool is required.
