Flipkart Photoshoot from one phone photo

Flipkart is one of the few marketplaces that tells clothing sellers exactly what colour the background must be: light grey with a soft shadow, and a white background is rejected. It also wants the same model in every photo and no mannequins, which is what makes a Flipkart photoshoot hard to do at home. SareeViz turns one phone photo of your design into 3 on-model photos that follow those rules, for 4.5 credits a design.

What Flipkart asks for in clothing photos

These are Flipkart’s image rules as Fynd publishes them for sellers listing on Flipkart, read on 23 October 2026. The apparel rules sit on top of the general ones.

Two of these rules trip sellers up more than the rest. A 1K portrait photo is only 896 pixels wide, under Flipkart’s 1000 pixel minimum, so the preset makes 2K. And a phone shot on a white wall fails the background rule even when the garment looks perfect.

The Flipkart set SareeViz makes from one photo

One saree photo in, three photos out. These came straight from the Flipkart preset, with nothing retouched afterwards.

A Flipkart photoshoot, step by step

1. 1

   Photograph the design on your phone

   Laid flat or hanging straight, in daylight, with only the fabric in the frame. Iron it first: Flipkart rejects creases and folds. The photo prep guide has the four rules that save a wasted generation.

2. 2

   Upload it and pick Flipkart

   Upload the photo in section 1, open Marketplace in section 2 and pick Flipkart. The poses, the light grey background, the model and the 2K JPEG output are set and locked, so every design in the catalogue matches.

3. 3

   Clear your branding

   Flipkart allows no text or watermark, so clear the brand logo, brand name and design number in Branding Details before you generate.

4. 4

   Generate, check and upload

   Each photo takes about a minute. Check the border, the print and the colour against the real garment, then upload the front view first, then the back and the side. If something is off, the fixing a result guide covers the usual causes.

What a Flipkart photoshoot costs

A 2K photo is 1.5 credits, so a full Flipkart set of 3 is 4.5 credits, which is ₹45 plus 18% GST per design. Credits are only taken for photos that generate successfully, and a new account starts with 5 free credits, enough for one full Flipkart set before you pay anything. There is no subscription; the pricing page lists every credit pack.

Budget for a retry or two on some designs. Across the 207,556 catalogue images in our study of how Indian sellers photograph ethnic wear, sellers kept roughly one image in three. If you are weighing this against a studio quote, our guide to product photography cost in India has real studio rate cards and a calculator for your own numbers.

Flipkart photos for sarees and ethnic wear

Flipkart’s back-view rule matters more for a saree than for almost anything else, because the back is where the pallu falls and where buyers judge it. A saree is also two garments, the drape and the blouse piece; upload both and they are worn as one outfit in all three views, with the border and pallu kept as photographed. The saree photography page shows that flow on a real design.

Selling on more than Flipkart? Each marketplace has its own page: Myntra, whose rules are close to Flipkart’s, Amazon and Meesho. The ecommerce photography page covers them together, and the catalogue photoshoot page prices a whole season of designs at once.
