iterationlayer Optimize Product Image for Amazon
E-commerce sellers and agencies use this recipe to prepare product photos that pass Amazon's main image requirements. One API call removes the background, fills it white, resizes to the required square format, and outputs a JPEG — no manual editing, no Photoshop.
APIs Used
Image Transformation (0.5 credits/request)
Prerequisites
You need an Iteration Layer API key. Get one at platform.iterationlayer.com during the 7-day trial.
For full integration guidance (SDKs, auth, MCP, error handling), see the Iteration Layer Integration Guide.

Optimize the product image at [file URL] for Amazon. Use the transform_image tool with a remove_background operation (background color #FFFFFF), a resize operation to 2000x2000 pixels (fit: contain), and a convert operation to JPEG at quality 90.
