One visual identity from stockroom to social feed
Independent boutiques often shoot new arrivals on the counter after hours. Supplier packs arrive with white-background product JPEGs at odd sizes. Seasonal window displays get a quick phone photo before the rain clouds roll in. Each source looks different without a finishing step.
Retail customer engagement improves when every public image carries the same logo corner, similar sharpness, and dimensions suited to the channel. Stampi batch-processes mixed folders: resize supplier images, brand counter shots, export square crops for Instagram and wider JPEGs for the shop site.
Product shots and store interiors shoppers actually see
A homeware shop launches a ceramics line. Twelve products need web listings by tomorrow morning. Each photo needs a subtle logo, white-balanced compression that keeps glaze detail, and a 1080 square for the shop reel. Doing that file by file in a desktop editor delays the post that drives Saturday footfall.
A footwear retailer refreshes Google Business photos after a refit. Twenty interior angles, fitting bench, and till area shots must look consistent and load fast. Batch compression matters because Google penalises sluggish mobile experiences even when the photography itself is strong.
Social-ready exports from a single upload
Retail teams should not export the same product three times for Instagram, Facebook, and the website. Stampi outputs multiple sizes from one logo configuration. Logo position stays locked. Margins stay even on portrait product shots and landscape store interiors alike.
Try the built-in samples first if you want to test opacity on busy patterns. A logo that works on a plain knit jumper may need a slight opacity tweak on a checked shirt. Preview on one file, then run the batch.
- Instagram square for product grids and reels covers
- Facebook link preview for shared collection pages
- Web optimised JPEG for Shopify, WooCommerce, and brochure sites
- TikTok vertical when you film static product cards for short video
Working with supplier and in-house photography mixed together
Supplier images often arrive huge, uncropped, without your shop logo. Your in-house shots may be HEIC from an iPhone behind the till. Stampi normalises formats, scales down oversized packs, and brands everything in one pass so the new collection page does not look like a collage of mismatched sources.
Honest expectation: Stampi does not remove supplier backgrounds or fix colour casts from fluorescent shop lighting. Shoot as well as you can, then use Stampi for the repetitive logo and sizing work retailers face every week.
Who benefits most on the shop floor
Owners and buyers who market themselves, small chains without a central studio, and franchisees who must follow brand guidelines but shoot their own store. Stampi is free with no seat licences, which matters when only two people ever touch imagery.
If you needed retail customer engagement software for purchase history or chat, look elsewhere. If you need tonight's product photos branded and sized before the newsletter sends, open Stampi, drop the folder, download the ZIP.
Google Maps and local discovery imagery
Shoppers increasingly decide whether to visit from Google Maps photos before they read opening hours. A dark, unlogoed interior shot next to a bright window display with no brand mark looks accidental. Batch branding does not replace good styling, but it signals that the listing is maintained.
Retailers with multiple branches can process each store folder with the same logo settings so regional managers upload consistent sets. Central marketing reviews one ZIP per store instead of fixing logos file by file after well-meaning uploads.
Compress aggressively enough for mobile discovery, then proof on your own phone on 4G. If fabric texture survives, the file is probably ready for local search surfaces where patience is thin.
Email campaigns and lookbook PDFs from one shoot
A new collection email often reuses the same dozen product shots that appear in a downloadable lookbook. Brand and resize the digital set in Stampi, then hand high-resolution originals to whoever builds the PDF. Shoppers see matching visuals whether they click from Gmail or open the attachment in the shop.
Marketplace listings sometimes forbid logos while your owned channels require them. Export two batches from the same upload: clean files for third-party rules and branded files for channels you control.
Staff who photograph new arrivals on the shop floor should drop files into a dated folder immediately. Marketing can batch overnight so morning social posts go live before the lunch trade. The same folder can feed Saturday stories without another editing pass.
Frequently asked questions
Can Stampi match our franchise brand guidelines?
Upload the franchise-supplied logo PNG and set position, size, and opacity to match the PDF guidelines. Stampi does not police compliance automatically, but fixed settings across a batch prevent the drift that happens when each store manager eyeballs logo placement differently. Save a short internal note with margin pixels and opacity so every branch reruns the same numbers.
Our ecommerce platform has image size limits. Will compression help?
Yes. Platforms reject uploads that exceed file size caps even when dimensions are correct. Resize to the platform longest edge recommendation, then compress while watching texture on fabric and packaging. Stampi preview shows whether you have gone too far before you process eighty SKUs.
Should we logo every product photo on the website?
That is a brand choice. Some retailers logo only lifestyle and store imagery while leaving pack shots clean for marketplace rules. Stampi makes either workflow fast. Run two batches if marketplaces forbid logos on white-background listings but your own site wants them.
Does Stampi connect to Shopify or our POS?
No direct connection. Download the ZIP and upload through your platform admin or bulk import tool. Keeping Stampi separate avoids OAuth approvals and keeps the tool usable on any shop system. Most retailers drag the branded folder into their CMS media library in one go.
How do we handle reflective packaging in product shots?
Stampi does not remove glare. Shoot with diffused light where possible, then use preview to ensure compression does not turn foil or cellophane into muddy grey. Logo opacity may need a slight bump on very dark packaging so the mark remains visible without dominating the product.
Is Stampi free to use?
Yes. Stampi is free with no subscription, no credit card, and no trial that expires. Open the app, upload your files, and download the results. We built it that way on purpose because photo prep is annoying enough without a paywall in the middle.
Do I need to create an account?
No. Stampi runs in your browser with no sign-up. Images are processed locally on your device. When you close the tab or download your ZIP, the session is gone. We do not store your files on a server.
How do I get started?
Go to stampi.cc, upload your photos (or click Try with samples to load demo files), add your logo, pick your export formats, and hit Prepare Media. A ZIP downloads in seconds. That is the whole workflow.
