Just snap, style and sell. That’s how remarkably easy the Square Photo Studio app is. Plus, it’s free so you can start taking professional-looking photos instantly at no cost.
Snap
In-app photo tips help you fine-tune lighting, framing and more. A built-in camera stabilizer automatically keeps angles straight, images sharp and pictures consistent across your entire site. You can even use the app’s tools on photos already in your camera roll.
Style
Advanced AI extracts the background and adds a transparent one. Use the photo-editing tool to select a background colour and add realistic shadows to make your items stand out. Edit exposure, contrast, saturation, highlights, item size, rotation and position in the frame. Or simply let the AI improve the image for you.
Sell
Use your pictures to create Square items right in the app and sync them with your Square catalogue. Or connect new photos to existing items. Even create payment links to start selling in just a few clicks.

FAQ
The background remover uses artificial intelligence to detect the primary object in the picture and automatically removes the background. The AI tool does all the background removal editing work for you so you don’t need to take any additional steps.
When it comes to editing the background image of your photos, Square Photo Studio offers a number of options. Once the app removes the original background, you can use the photo with its transparent background or add a crisp, white background for eCommerce use. In addition, you can select from a variety of preset colour backgrounds for social media selling, choose a styled two-tone background or enter a specific hex code into the custom colour picker and get a background that perfectly matches your brand. The app makes it easy to create a whole new image in seconds without having to retouch or resize.
A Square online account is not required. The app is free and doesn’t require any in-app purchases. If you want to save photos, sync photos to Square items, or create a Square Online Checkout link, you will be prompted to create a Square account. You can learn more about our eCommerce tools here.
File formats vary depending on the type of image format being saved. Images with backgrounds are saved as JPEG files. Images with their backgrounds removed are saved as transparent PNG files.
