Keep one clean master export

Instead of flattening the product immediately, keep a transparent PNG master. That one file can later become a white-background listing image, a campaign cutout, or a category card without repeating the background removal.

Review edges at listing size and banner size

A shoe image that looks acceptable in a small thumbnail can still reveal rough edges in a hero banner or campaign card. Preview the cutout at the actual sizes where it will be used.

Should footwear listings use white or transparent backgrounds?

Keep transparency in the master file, then export a white-background version when the product grid or marketplace layout needs it.
