A product photo editor for your Mac — without the big price or the big download
PicMerchant was built by a seller who couldn’t find a Mac photo editor for product photos that didn’t cost a fortune. It runs right in Safari or Chrome, so there’s nothing to install and nothing to update.
Why it works so well on a Mac
- Nothing to install. Open picmerchant.com in Safari or Chrome and start. No App Store download, no updates to manage.
- Drag and drop from Finder or Photos. Drag photos straight from a Finder window, your desktop or the Photos app into the editor.
- Your photos show up in Finder. Connect Photo Storage as a drive (Go → Connect to Server) and drag photos in and out like any other folder.
- Older Macs are fine. The heavy work happens on our servers, not on your Mac — a MacBook Air handles it easily.
- Same account everywhere. Start on your Mac, finish on your iPhone, or let an employee work from a Windows PC.
What Mac sellers usually end up paying
| Price | On a Mac | Best at | |
|---|---|---|---|
| PicMerchant | Free trial, then $19.99/mo | Runs in Safari or Chrome — nothing to install | Built for product photos and selling: background removal, bulk edits, marketplace sizes, listing text, videos |
| Adobe Photoshop | $22.99/mo (annual plan, billed monthly) | Desktop app to download and install | A full professional editor — very powerful, with a learning curve |
| Pixelmator Pro (Apple Creator Studio) | $12.99/mo or $129/yr | Mac app; requires macOS 26 or later | A strong general image editor bundled with Apple’s creative apps |

Photoshop and Pixelmator Pro can do almost anything to an image. If you sell things, you mostly need a few jobs done fast and done right — a clean background, a straight crop, the right size for each marketplace, a listing that reads well. That’s all PicMerchant does, and it does it in a couple of clicks.
Everything in one place
Works on your Mac
Nothing to download or install. It runs in Safari or Chrome on any Mac, and the same account works on a PC, iPhone or iPad.
Fix a cutout by hand
Tap to keep or remove a spot, a scalpel for clean edges and a hair brush — the same kind of hand tools pros expect.
Whole batches at once
Drop in a folder of photos: backgrounds off, logos and watermarks off, dark photos brightened — in one pass.
AI edits
Refresh a tired photo, combine two photos, or put your real product in a new scene.
Product videos
Turn your photos into a short video with captions and a voice — for listings, TikTok, Facebook and YouTube.
Listing kits
Titles, keywords and a description written from your product, ready to paste.
Marketplace photo check
One click tells you if a photo meets Amazon, Walmart, eBay, Etsy, Shopify, Google and Facebook rules, and downloads every size.
Photo Storage and a drive
Folders like your hard drive. Connect it to a Mac or PC and drag photos in and out like any drive.
Made for teams
Invite employees so everyone works from the same photos (Business plan).

Is there a PicMerchant app for Mac?
You don’t need one. PicMerchant runs in Safari or Chrome on your Mac, so it’s always up to date and there’s nothing to install.
Which Mac do I need?
Any Mac that runs a current version of Safari or Chrome. The editing is done on our servers, so an older MacBook Air works fine.
Can I drag photos in from the Photos app?
Yes. Drag photos from Photos, Finder or your desktop straight onto the editor or into Photo Storage.
Does it work on iPhone and iPad too?
Yes — same account, same photos, in Safari on your iPhone or iPad.
Is it cheaper than Photoshop?
PicMerchant has a free trial and a $19.99/mo Seller plan, or credits that never expire from $7. Adobe lists Photoshop at $22.99/mo on an annual plan. Photoshop does far more general editing; PicMerchant is focused on product photos and selling.
