What Is the Reflection Effect?
The reflection effect creates a mirror-like reflection beneath your product, as if it were sitting on a glossy surface. The reflection fades out gradually, creating a clean, premium look that's popular in product photography for electronics, cosmetics, jewelry, and luxury goods.
Step-by-Step Guide
1 Import Your Product Photo
Open QuickRemove and drag in your product photo. The image can have any background — the AI will remove it first.
2 AI Removes the Background
QuickRemove's AI automatically isolates the product from its background. Review the result and fine-tune with the brush/eraser tools if needed.
3 Choose Your Background
Reflections work best on clean backgrounds. Choose a solid color (white, black, or gray are popular), a gradient, or keep it transparent and add the reflection as a standalone effect.
4 Enable the Reflection Effect
In QuickRemove's effects panel, enable the reflection effect. The software creates a mirrored version of the product beneath it with a gradient fade, simulating a glossy surface reflection.
5 Export
Save your image with the reflection applied. For product listings, JPG or PNG work well. For transparent backgrounds with reflections, use PNG.
