Most studios make you ask. We publish the bands, because a rate you have to request is a rate that changes depending on who is asking. Ours does not.
| Service | Rate per image |
|---|---|
| Clipping path / background removal | $0.50 – $2 |
| Colour correction | $0.50 – $2 |
| Ghost mannequin, neck joint | $1 – $3 |
| Product retouching, e-commerce | $1 – $4 |
| Jewellery and watch retouching | $2 – $8 |
| High-end beauty and editorial | $10 – $30 |
Bands, not fixed prices. Where you land inside a band is set by complexity, monthly volume and turnaround — nothing else. Your exact figure is confirmed after the free test, not before.
A clean pack shot on white and a jewellery hero with a reflection to rebuild are not the same job. Complexity sets the floor.
Volume earns a lower rate because it lets us hold a named team on your account instead of rebuilding context every batch. Steady beats large.
Standard is 24 to 48 hours and carries no premium. Same-day work reorders a shift, and that is the only thing we charge extra for.
No card, no contract, no call first. Send five of your own files and we return them finished, so you judge our edges and colour on your products rather than ours. The quote follows the test, so both sides are pricing the same thing.
If you are running fewer than 500 images a month, we are probably not the right studio for you — and there are good ones who will serve you better at that size. We are built for catalogue volume.
Because a rate you have to ask for is a rate that changes depending on who is asking. Ours does not. The band you see is the band you get, and the exact figure inside it is set by complexity and monthly volume.
Three things: how much work each image needs, how many you send a month, and how fast you need them back. Nothing else.
Yes. Five of your own images, finished and returned within six hours. No card, no contract, no call first.
No. If a batch comes back against the agreed specification, we fix it and we fix the specification so it does not recur.
