Square Launches Square Photo Studio App

Square has launched the Square Photo Studio app for sellers to take high-quality product photos from their mobile devices and directly sync them to  Square item catalogs or online stores.

The Square Photo Studio app guides users through the process to take the best photo, automatically isolates the product from the background, and then allows users to choose stylized scenes that include new backgrounds, shadows, and colours. From there, sellers can connect those images to items in their Square catalogs or create a new items entirely.

"It's no secret that products with professional-looking photos perform better than those without," said David Rusenko, head of e-commerce at Square, in a statement. "Unfortunately, the cost, skill set, and labor involved with taking those photos was often prohibitive. Now, with Square Photo Studio, sellers can give their items the look of a professional photo studio shoot from the comfort of their home, the office, or on the go."
