Hanger Photos Are the Easiest to Take

No mannequin, no overhead rig: most sellers already have a pile of photos of clothes hanging on a door, a rail or a hook on the wall. The problem is that they look like what they are. The hook sticks up, the shoulders take the shape of the hanger, and the wall behind is never quite plain.

Removing the hanger fixes the first problem. Reshaping the shoulders fixes the second, and replacing the background fixes the third. That's what this page's tool does in one step.

What Changes

The hanger and hook

Both are removed completely, including the part that shows through the neck opening.

The shoulders

Wire and plastic hangers leave sharp corners. The AI gives the shoulders a natural rounded shape, as if the garment were worn.

The background

The door, wall or rail is replaced with pure white, light gray or a transparent background, with the garment centered and evenly spaced.

How to Shoot a Good Hanger Photo

  1. 01

    Hang it straight

    Use a plain hanger that fits the garment, do up the buttons and zips, and let it hang without twisting.

  2. 02

    Keep the wall plain

    A light, plain door or wall works best. Move other clothes, towels and hooks out of the frame.

  3. 03

    Shoot straight on

    Stand in front of the garment at chest height, with soft daylight from the front or side, and get the whole garment in frame.

Ghost Mannequin or Flat Lay?

The tool above makes a ghost mannequin: the garment with a worn, 3D shape. If you'd rather show it laid flat from above, the flat lay generator accepts hanger photos too, with the same credits. Trousers and skirts on clip hangers usually look better as a flat lay.

Remove Hanger FAQ

Does it work with wooden, plastic and wire hangers?

Yes. The type of hanger doesn't matter much. What matters more is that the garment hangs straight and is fully in frame.

What about clip hangers for trousers and skirts?

Clips are removed too, but they often pinch the waistband. For trousers and skirts, the flat lay tool usually gives a cleaner result from the same photo.

Will it remove wrinkles?

It may even out light creases, but it isn't meant to iron the garment, and deep folds can stay. Steaming the garment before you shoot gives the best result.

Is the inner neck added like on a mannequin photo?

Yes. Front views get the inner back of the neck filled in. It's AI-drawn, so compare it with your garment before you publish.
