Photo guide
A photo that looks like evidence, not an advertisement.
Most profiles on the register carry no photo. A real photograph of a real product on a real floor is the cheapest trust signal a factory can add, and the one a trader cannot fake for long. Ten rules, then what we do with your upload.
The ten rules
- 01Your own product, your own floor.No stock photos, no catalogue scans, no images taken from another site. We check where an image came from and remove copies.
- 02No text in the image.No prices, phone numbers, offers, other brands' logos or watermarks. BharatSeal shows price, minimum order and contact as data beside the photo.
- 03One product per photo.No collages, no grids of six variants. Upload variants as separate images.
- 04Fill the frame.The product takes 60 to 80 percent of the picture, centred, in 4:3 or 1:1. We crop to the card, so leave a little room on every side.
- 05Plain, even light.Daylight from a window or an open shutter, or the factory's own lights. No flash straight on, no coloured LED, no filters.
- 06A clean background.A plain wall, a table, the machine that makes the product, or a pallet. Not a busy desk, not a showroom mirror.
- 07Sharp and large.At least 1200 px on the long edge. Any phone from 2020 onwards is enough. JPG, PNG or WebP under 25 MB.
- 08In this order.First the product alone. Second the product being made or tested. Third the packaging or the scale of a real order: a carton, a pallet, a loaded truck.
- 09People are welcome.Operators at a machine, a supervisor with the batch. Ask them first.
- 10Straight, not tilted.Level the horizon. Shoot at the product's height, not from above a desk.
Works
- A brass fitting on the lathe that made it
- One carton of finished product, label readable
- The floor with people working, shot from the aisle
Does not work
- A festive offer banner with a price on it
- A collage of nine colour variants
- A photo of another site's catalogue page
What we do with your upload
- We rehost the file, so it survives your own site going down.
- We crop to the product card: 4:3 in search, 1:1 in rails. Nothing at the edges is safe.
- Images with heavy text or a collage go to the content queue and stay off the homepage until replaced.
- We never add a watermark, a badge or a border to your photo.
