About Specifications

Overview

This article will describe the functionality of specifications and different types of image optimizations available in a basic specification.

What is a specification?

To get started using Pixelz, you must first create a specification. Specifications tell our editors exactly how your images should be edited. Each specification contains settings that define the specific steps the images go through and which editing tasks are completed. They are saved in your account and can be re-used for future orders.

Each specification has a price. This is the price you will pay for each individual image submitted on the specification. Your images must be submitted on a specification that contains settings that align with your needs and expectations.

Many of our customers like to create their own custom specifications, but we also offer preset specifications for people who sell on marketplaces such as Amazon and eBay. By using these preset specifications, we guarantee that your images will be Amazon or eBay compliant**.

Specification Settings

There are a huge number of settings available to you for fine-tuning your specifications to ensure your finished images meet your requirements. We divide settings into 3 main categories:

1. Standard Settings

Standard settings are those which are included in the base price. You can choose as many of these settings as you like without the specification price increasing. These are:

• Background removal
• Alignment & straightening
• Cropping
• Resizing
• Compression
• File format
• Color profile
• DPI
• File size
• Meta-data

2. Optional Add-ons

You can further customize your specifications with our range of add-ons. Add-ons incur an additional cost which is added to the base price.

These are:

• Invisible Mannequin
• Clipping Path
• Shadow
• Color Matching
• Retouch packages

Types Of Specifications

There are three recommended ways to create your specifications based on where you plan to sell your products.
