ListingGems

ListingGems is a desktop product photo editor built for marketplace sellers — the people listing on eBay, Etsy, Amazon FBA, Shopify, Mercari, Depop, Poshmark, and Facebook Marketplace. It costs $49 once. No subscriptions, no monthly credits, no per-image fees, no usage caps. Process one photo or one million for the same price.

It's a one-time purchase alternative to Photoroom, remove.bg, Pixelcut, and Canva's background remover. Where those tools run on cloud GPUs and charge $10–35/month (or per credit) to cover their server costs, ListingGems runs entirely on your own computer. Your photos never leave your machine — no uploads, no accounts, no cloud processing. After the initial model download (115–490 MB depending on quality tier), it works fully offline.

What it does, end to end:

• AI background removal using state-of-the-art ONNX models — BiRefNet (Quality), BEN2 (Balanced), and BiRefNet-lite (Fast). Hair, fur, transparent objects, and fine edges are handled cleanly.
• Manual touch-up brush for mask refinement when the AI gets a detail wrong.
• Background replacement — transparent, white (Amazon-compliant pure #FFFFFF), black, custom color, gradient, your own image, or texture presets.
• Algorithmic drop shadows — contact + ambient layers with control over light direction, blur, and opacity.
• Lighting correction — automatic white balance (Shades of Gray + Bradford), exposure correction via a bundled IAT ONNX model, CLAHE contrast, and saturation boost.
• 4× AI upscaling with the HFA2k model and tiled inference, so a phone snapshot becomes a 4000+ px listing image.
• 9 marketplace export presets — Amazon main image (2000×2000, 85% fill, pure white), Etsy, eBay, Shopify, Mercari, Depop, Poshmark, Facebook Marketplace, and custom dimensions.
• Batch processing — drop a folder, apply the same settings to every photo, export them all at once.

Who it's for: small and mid-volume marketplace sellers who edit dozens or hundreds of photos a month and don't want a monthly bill or a cloud round-trip for every image. Resellers, handmade-goods sellers on Etsy, Amazon FBA private label, thrift and vintage sellers on Poshmark/Depop, dropshippers preparing supplier photos.

Hardware: Windows 10/11 or Linux. An NVIDIA GPU (GTX 1650 / 4 GB VRAM or newer) or AMD GPU on Windows brings processing to ~2 seconds per image. Without a GPU it still works on CPU at ~20 seconds per image. macOS is not supported yet.

Privacy: because everything runs locally, ListingGems is a fit for sellers who don't want product photos, design files, or unreleased SKUs uploaded to a third-party server. Nothing is sent anywhere after the model files download.

Licensing: one-time $49 purchase via Creem. License covers 3 device activations and includes all future updates. 45-day money-back guarantee. Built and maintained by a solo developer — no investor pressure to push subscriptions, upsells, or per-image pricing.
