BeforeAfterOur ghost mannequin (neck-joint) editing removes the mannequin and rebuilds the inner neckline, cuffs and hem so your garment looks naturally worn — without a model. Perfect for Amazon, Shopify and lookbooks, with consistent results across thousands of SKUs.
Standard delivery, with rush options for campaigns.
Volume & retainer rates — scoped to your monthly throughput.
Premium quality — not a generic AI cutout.
A ghost mannequin image is not one photograph. It is a composite, and the quality depends entirely on how carefully the pieces are joined.
We work from your front shot plus an inside-neck or inverted shot. If you send us your shot list first, we will tell you exactly which angles we need so nothing has to be re-shot later.
The inner label, collar seam and back panel are rebuilt from the second shot so the garment reads as if a body were inside it. This is the step most cheap ghost mannequin work gets wrong.
Sleeves, shoulders and hems are reshaped to a natural human line. Wrinkles that read as damage are removed, while the folds that show fabric weight and drape are kept.
Garment colour is matched to your reference or physical swatch, then a second retoucher checks the run for consistent size, shadow and background before delivery.
Ghost mannequin is a composite, so the price follows how much rebuilding the garment needs. These are our working ranges — the exact quote depends on complexity, volume and turnaround.
| What you need | Rate per image |
|---|---|
| Basic neck joint Simple tees and shirts, inner collar joined from your second shot | $1 – $2 |
| Standard ghost mannequin Neck joint plus sleeve, shoulder and hem shaping, wrinkle cleanup | $2 – $3 |
| Complex garments Jackets, dresses, layered or sheer fabric, full-length shape rebuild | $3 – $5 |
| Clipping path or background removal only Cut-out on white, no mannequin work | $0.50 – $2 |
Volume changes the number. E-commerce post-production starts at $1 per image and scales down as monthly volume rises. Seasonal catalogues run on an agreed daily throughput — see ghost mannequin production at volume and white-label retouching.
Turnaround: 24–48 hours standard, rush available. Free test edit: send one garment and judge the neck joint before you commit. Full breakdown in our 2026 photo retouching cost guide.
Shot on mannequin, on a form or flat — we work with what your studio already produces.
Running a full apparel catalogue? Ghost mannequin usually ships alongside apparel retouching, clipping paths, colour correction and marketplace-ready Amazon or Shopify files. High volume studios can also read about ghost mannequin production at volume.
It's a photo-editing technique where the mannequin is removed from apparel photos and the inner garment (neckline, cuffs, hem) is reconstructed, giving a clean 3D 'invisible mannequin' look without a model.
Pricing is scoped to your volume and the complexity of the work. High-volume and monthly retainers get lower rates.
Standard turnaround is 24–48 hours, with rush delivery available for tight deadlines.
Yes — send 5 images and we'll edit it free so you can judge the quality before ordering.
A front shot on the mannequin plus an inside-neck or inverted shot showing the inner collar. For open jackets or trousers we may also ask for a back or inside-waist frame. Send your shot list and we will confirm before you shoot.
Standard turnaround is 24 to 48 hours. Seasonal catalogues are scheduled in batches at an agreed daily volume, with rush delivery available for fixed launch dates.
Flat-lay images can be cleaned and shaped, but a true invisible-mannequin result needs the garment shot on a form. If you only have flat-lay files we will tell you honestly what is achievable before you commit.
Yes. We sign NDAs on request, restrict file access to the assigned team, and delete or return files on an agreed retention schedule.
