Ghost Mannequin Services

Invisible mannequin image editing services
for high-volume e-commerce studios

Effortless Ghost Mannequin Images

Ghost mannequin images are the perfect addition to any e-commerce content strategy. The invisible effect of the mannequin gives life to apparel. And using mannequins can reduce the cost and time of using live models.

The ghost mannequin effect is achieved by taking multiple images of a product and combining them in post-production. Using a ghost mannequin service takes over the tedious work of expertly combining the different images into one product image.

Why Use A Ghost Mannequin Service?

Perfect Color Matching Between Model and Mannequin

Getting the perfect color match between mannequins and model images can be tricky and time-consuming. By using the mannequin setup for color calibration your model studio won’t be slowed down by recalibrations. Then just send us your reference image, and let we’ll apply the color correction to both model and mannequin images. You’ll save time, effort, and money while still getting perfect color-calibrated product images!

You have questions, we have answers

Working with a post-production provider can often involve frustration, misunderstandings, and delays. And you want to get back to more creative work in the studio. A few easy steps will set you up to get thousands of product photos professionally edited every day!

A Ghost Mannequin Service, also known as a Neck Joint Service or Invisible Mannequin Service, is a photo editing service provided by image editing companies that specialize in this popular e-commerce technique (the ghost mannequin effect). The fashion item (for example, a shirt) is photographed on a mannequin, and the image editors remove the mannequin and merge another image of the interior (the neck insert) to create a 3D look of the product, without the distraction of a mannequin or model.

First, the price should be fair, between $1.50USD and $3 per ghost mannequin image. Higher prices indicate the photo editing agency is not skilled in the ghost mannequin effect, needing more time (cost) to do the work. Secondly, find out if the company has high-value customers trusting their work, such as top fashion brands. The best ghost mannequin services will provide both FTP bulk uploading and an online uploading platform with an optimized process for rejecting images if they do not meet your standards (and rejected images should be re-worked and sent back to you on the same day). Lastly, find out if the agency specializes in fashion e-commerce retouching, or does the company also offer services such as wedding, real estate, and portrait retouching which indicates they may not be specialized in the ghost mannequin effect.

Pixelz offers same-day delivery in less than 3 hours for Enterprise customers and next-morning delivery for professional customers. You can log in to self-service in our online platform, or talk with our Customer Success team to set up FTP bulk uploading, in which you can create your own filename rules for ghost mannequin combining.
