**Find products with identical images**

In CSV file and directly in the app as well, you now find a pre-prepared list for Mergado with all products with identical images.

All you have to do is to copy the list, and add the ID element from your feed (ITEM\_ID, G:ID, etc.) to the line beginning. In CSV file, it is the line named “mergado\_query”.

# A new version of Feed Image Editor

## Deployment date and time

**28.6.2019**

**Price in images, Settings section, new detection tools…**

**Information from feed to image**

One of the most desired features from the very beginning was the possibility to display price directly in the image. Well, guess what? Now you are able to insert not just the price, but other elements as well. You may also choose whether you insert just the element or the element and text combined.

**Settings**

- We added a whole new Settings section. You may choose between JPEG and PNG output extensions and in the case of JPEG, also set the compression ratio for faster image loading.
- Output format management - you may now create and edit the format of output images.
- Hide the products - easy way how to hide the products upon certain criteria (404 error, missing images, etc.).  
 ![Screenshot%20from%202019-11-01%2011-47-08](https://forum.mergado.com/uploads/default/original/1X/49ff5a042d9f6fe205465938c70ba945180b4c6f.jpeg)

**Customized image sets**  
Load your personalized images directly in the app to be always disponible, so you don’t have to look for them in your computer anymore.

**Detection of a replaced image on the same URL**

In the case when you made any changes with your product image but the URL remains the same, some of the comparison shopping engines don’t reflect that and it may happen that your advertisement would keep running with the old image. This feature will help you to detect those changes.

**Products with the identical image**

In the products section, there is now a possibility to filter products with identical images and export the list into the CSV file.

**Emoji**

Feed Image Editor now fully supports emojis. 😉

**Image validation and new settings**

**Image validation in product feed**

What to do when the image dimensions follow the required criteria but in reality, the product itself occupies only a small part of the whole canvas, and the rest is just the white background? How to find out? Now, with the new feature built inside Feed Image Editor which we call Image validation, you can examine whether:

- canvas contains just small product picture in the middle of white background
- image contains transparent background
- product picture is not centered
- and many more, check it out 😉  
 ![Screenshot%20from%202019-11-01%2010-59-55](https://forum.mergado.com/uploads/default/original/1X/f5069234a44e2a86b1d2b928829fdbed5056fc06.png)  
You find Image validation in Products.

**Project settings**

We extended Settings section where you may:

- Set the image output extension to JPEG and set the compression ratio (smaller the image size, faster the loading).
- Set the image output format.
- Hide the products whose images were not found on the webpage (error 404, etc.).
- Create your own image sets.  
 ![Screenshot%20from%202019-11-01%2011-47-08](https://forum.mergado.com/uploads/default/original/1X/49ff5a042d9f6fe205465938c70ba945180b4c6f.jpeg)

**Watermark detection**

As the Google Shopping do not display any of your product images with watermark, this very new feature would be quite handy when preparing your next campaign. Just with a few clicks, you can check whether any of your images contain watermark and crop or remove it completely from your product feed.

 ![Screenshot%20from%202019-11-01%2011-00-20](https://forum.mergado.com/uploads/default/original/1X/d6bdd83ef5aca52860f49869dcc17eda9b9e6471.png)

# A new version of Feed Image Editor

## Deployment date and time

**29.10.2019**

**Template activity**

One of many new features you would appreciate is the possibility to set the activity of your templates, which is especially useful when starting a new campaign. All you have to do is just to set the starting and the ending day, and you are ready to go - no manual adjusting anymore, everything works automatically, so you can invest all that saved time for other activities in your marketing campaign.

You find this new feature in the right control panel in template settings.

 ![Screenshot%20from%202019-10-29%2009-21-09](https://forum.mergado.com/uploads/default/original/1X/4e522f90e79aad59bfeb14054f03e95e8ad3a19f.png)

At the same time, in the template list, there is a notification about the templates activity period, so you get everything under control.

 ![Screenshot%20from%202019-10-29%2011-22-02](https://forum.mergado.com/uploads/default/original/1X/5038f66c091432ea04918ef0a7b27f56fc48b247.png)

**Image quality checkup**

Among thousands of images in your e-shop, keeping an eye on every single one of them could be quite tricky. With this new feature, you can check the quality of all your images and have even better control of your image marketing campaigns. With just a few clicks, you can examine which pictures are not focused, have low contrast, or whether they have any glitches. For this purpose, we created a powerful machine learning model that we trained over the huge picture dataset. Moreover, with the possibility of user validation, you can manually evaluate every picture according to your subjective opinion and in this way, provide new data to improve the model. We are thus extending the features for image validation and watermark detection with another powerful tool that is going to make your image audit ever easier. Currently, in the BETA version, we can’t wait for your feedback. Let us know how it works. 🙂

You may find the image quality check under Products.

**Other news**

- Export and import of templates.
- Show and hide the shortcut window.
- Drag & drop the stickers to template.
- Show and hide the advanced filters in Products.
- ITEM ID of product is now displayed in template draft.

…and many other tweaks and under the hood updates which make your experience even better 🙂

# Latest news in Feed Image Editor 🆕

## Remove background ✂

One of the standard requirements of shopping engines is a white **background without disruptive elements**. In the Feed Image Editor app you create a transparent background with literally **one click**. The tool allows you to bulk edit the background of all images. This option saves you a lot of time on manual adjustments. What are its other functions? 👇

⇨ **Sensitivity of background removal**  
The new sensitivity setting brings **three levels** of background removal (low, medium, high). Use it when you choose how much the product background should be cropped. ✄ If part of the product seems to have disappeared during removal, set the effect to a **higher sensitivity**. It removes the background and is **less aggressive**. Conversely, if the background removal was **not sufficient** , choose a **low sensitivity** effect. The function will try to remove all background fragments. 🪶

 ![Three levels of background removal - low, medium, high.](https://forum.mergado.com/uploads/default/original/1X/15dec920e723770d6eaf1d7db335690b9339bd52.png)

⇨ **Product backgrounds without jagged edges**  
The function works on the principle of machine learning and is fully **automated**. 🤖 Edge smoothing works in bulk, and you don’t have to take any further action. You may notice improved results for **all images**.

 ![The furniture, which is photographed in the environment (room), the edges in the original version are rough.](https://forum.mergado.com/uploads/default/original/1X/83cafc142053e3faa2094acfa990015ec034ef41.jpeg)

## Upscale 🆙

With a redesigned user interface and background features, you can look forward to **better results** in the resolution enhancement process. 🤩

 ![Small image size and subsequent size increase with upscale.](https://forum.mergado.com/uploads/default/original/1X/7231bbc09f84efa8a296cda01d54a98181b65469.jpeg)

## Automatic compression 🛠

Reduce the data size of your images while maintaining image quality. Feed Image Editor allows you to set **3 different compression levels** (100 kB, 200 kB, 400 kB). Then the function automatically selects large images and reduces them to the value you choose. Files that are smaller than the selected value remain unchanged. 🗜

 ![Automatic image compression in the Feed Image Editor app.](https://forum.mergado.com/uploads/default/original/1X/522bc3316f58d08f3e285bb015e14026298ec424.png)

## Graphic elements 🎨

You may find a lot of graphic options in the app. You can choose from **prepared templates** or **stickers** that you can edit as you need. Tailor them to the visual of your brand or **themed campaign**. Also, you can upload your images to them. 📩

 ![Panel with graphic elements.](https://forum.mergado.com/uploads/default/original/1X/a083816db9acf36a1f2b07ecd8db9d32242762ef.png)

⇨ Other options include strikethrough, curve, polygon, geometric shapes, labels, frames, etc. 🖌

## Fonts and font previews 🔠

⇨ You can currently find **150+ fonts** in the app. 🔤

⇨ Create a text layer and **preview** it in different fonts. You can find this option in the **right panel** for each text layer. 👀  
 ![Preview of different fonts.](https://forum.mergado.com/uploads/default/original/1X/f438e5ac350b0f25231c3fcaf74e1a4d84bc0fbd.gif)

## Entering text ↩

With text wrapping, you gain more control over **formatting** and **customize** it to your liking. 📐

 ![Entering text with one click on the right panel.](https://forum.mergado.com/uploads/default/original/1X/322a36040b00810e01a329c17012864c858582e9.png)

## Contrast checker 🔲

Choosing the right contrast between text and background increases its **readability**.  
In the case of low contrast, a color change notification pops up. If tuned correctly, the **warning**  **triangle** disappears. ⚠

 ![Warning triangle on the right panel.](https://forum.mergado.com/uploads/default/original/1X/a0228303a8b2e54380e6f70be6b9dbd9143aab8f.jpeg)

Take advantage of adding a **shadow** and **reflection** to the source product images in bulk, which will get a **3D effect**. ✨

 ![Reflection and shadow effect on different products.](https://forum.mergado.com/uploads/default/original/1X/47a987ecf2a4b9aa402b830225ca5e9698628f7e.jpeg)

# Watermarks in product images will no longer be a problem

We are pleased to introduce a long-awaited new feature. A **watermark removal** function 🖌 is a small miracle. But there is more. In this release, we’ve also adapted the **compression options** 📜 to the requirements of the shopping engines. Below, you can find more **detailed instructions**. 👇

## Removing watermarks 🥳

Many online store operators have **problems with watermarks** in product images when they want to advertise on various ad systems. According to the results of our audit, watermarks are **45 %** of all advertising barriers. But with the new feature, you won’t be bothered by protective elements in your photos. How does it work?

Choose the product image where you need to **remove the watermark**. Whether it’s next to it or right on top of it, use a brush to mark the spot you want to edit.

 ![The brush is located on the bottom bar together with the eraser and its thickness adjustment.](https://forum.mergado.com/uploads/default/original/1X/bc17c8ed5e187762331619cd91a99316699b3a84.png)

And that’s it. The app **easily** handles the removal of various elements in this way. In addition to watermarks, you can remove, for example, logos, labels, or other text or shapes. After editing, the product image becomes **flawless** and is **not deformed**. See the results in the before and after examples:

 ![Removing watermarks with Feed Image Editor.](https://forum.mergado.com/uploads/default/original/1X/898eaefe1cfb996fa0b6ced5610b8da68ed8566e.jpeg)

## Image compression by product comparison 🗜

So far, the app allows to **reduce the data size** of images automatically and in bulk at three levels: 100 kB, 200 kB, and 400 kB. Currently, a new options have been added:

- 2MB (Heureka, Mall, Nabava)
- 5MB (Alza, Modio, Domodi)
- 8MB (Instagram, eMAG)
- 16MB (Google Merchant, ÁrGép)
- 30MB (Facebook 1:1)

The option to adjust the size of the images can be found in Settings, specifically in Project Settings. Choose from the available **comparison engines** and save it.

 ![List of comparison engines for which the automatic compression is available.](https://forum.mergado.com/uploads/default/original/1X/45ef863efd741f0761f2460e7f4d1adee22602e2.png)

**✅ In addition to these changes, we’ve been working on bug fixes and other minor adjustments.**

# New way of downloading images, export with transparent background, translated templates and other small changes 🆕

We have prepared a **summary** of the most important stuff from the latest releases. See how to **download images** from the online store to the app, how to work with transparent backgrounds in the **export** , and which **templates** are available in different languages. 🌟

## Downloading images when the URL changes ⬇

By default, we download images from the online store to the [Feed Image Editor](https://store.mergado.com/detail/feedimageeditor/#about) continuously to ensure that they are always **up-to-date**. From now on, it is possible to turn on a feature that will only download images from the online store to the app if the URL changes. If you have a lot of images, this feature will **reduce the load** on this side of the online store. If you update an image and the URL doesn’t change, it won’t get into the app and will remain the original image.

 ![](https://forum.mergado.com/uploads/default/original/1X/3b286afd35caaa5842acb8c84d1c10b4a261fb30.png)

## Transparent background of the output product image ⬜

Remove the background, make it **transparent** , and send it for **export**. In the output, set the image format to .png. The images will go into the advertisement with a transparent background.

Change the **transparency of the main image**. This feature can be found in the fourth tab. Turn it on with one click. Adjust the sensitivity by moving the slider.

 ![Slider for setting the transparency.](https://forum.mergado.com/uploads/default/original/1X/b497cfbd52082fe39f91354f3a1fb01e7943c694.jpeg)

## Adjust the transparency of any product image from the layouts 👻

Layouts can now be found in an improved form. You will see a preview of them on the right side. If you want to make them look more interesting, you can make **alternative images transparent**. This will highlight the main image.

 ![Transparency od alternative images.](https://forum.mergado.com/uploads/default/original/1X/f1dd8eafd0bb599161e8e9e7b610906927f913a1.png)

## Upload multiple images at once ♾

If you wanted to upload your own images to the app, you only had to do it one at a time. After this release, you can upload as **many images as you need at once**. It works the same way as before - by adding another layer.

 ![How to upload images.](https://forum.mergado.com/uploads/default/original/1X/e2b866844bd45632b06af43626b7ea8fc53e81c9.png)

### 👉 TIP

In the layout editor, you have the option to **add an angle** to the alternative images. You can rotate them in the direction you need.

## Keyboard shortcuts ⌨

Control the application with keyboard shortcuts such as: **copy/paste** , **undo/redo** , **rotate image** , ..

## Load preview image by Mergado ID / ITEM\_D 💡

Choose which product image you want to display in the product preview. You can select it in the third tab, via **ID / ITEM ID**. In case you don’t want a specific image, you will find cubes on the left side that will always show you one randomly.

## Fix the number of alternative images and photos in layouts 🧮

We have increased the number of alternative images in a single layout you may select. So you can put a total of **20 photos** (19 alternative and one main photo).

✅ **In addition to these changes, we’ve also worked on bug fixes and other minor adjustments.**

# Previews in template gallery and collages, new support formats and automatic template layout 🎉

**Released** - date and time: 19/07/2022 14:17

In the latest **release news** , we bring improved product image previews. Also, an option to set the transparency of any layer and automatic ordering of templates. We’ve also added new output formats, which can be found not only in the app, but also in the Image Validator. What formats exactly? We’ll show you below. 🙂

## Image previews in the template gallery 👀

See how your product looks in the **pre-made templates** that you can find in the app. Follow the steps:

- Create a new graphic template
- Select Product Query
- Select the output format
- You will see the available templates

 ![Different graphic template options.](https://forum.mergado.com/uploads/default/original/1X/a887d55d82e28b95485a1301f84070663dc119f5.jpeg)

A great benefit is the ability to **customize the templates** according to your own needs. Add elements, remove unsuitable ones or customize the color and font.

## Preview images in collages 👀

The ability to **group multiple images** is a great way of showing details or components of a product. Simply add alternative images to the main photo, if they’re available. If not, they won’t appear.

👉 Do you want to know how to create collages? Learn it in [this article](https://www.feed-image-editor.com/advertise-interesting-product-image-collages).

While creating collages, see how the images look together. You’ll find this in the third step of editing, after selecting the Collage.

 ![The main image with alternatives in the collage preview.](https://forum.mergado.com/uploads/default/original/1X/b291f9c901477daccae1e53dac1be8cdcf6896d3.jpeg)

## Transparency of any layer 👻

Make **various elements transparent** during the creation of your template. For example, use this for the main or alternate image, company logo (as a watermark), text, etc.

 ![Example of template with transparency setting.](https://forum.mergado.com/uploads/default/original/1X/16f571201e087443d4b26d8ee75a9dbe9948f361.jpeg)

## Automatic ordering of templates :reorder:

This feature will make you happy if:

- You have several prepared templates and you do not know how to choose the correct order.
- You want to apply the template to different Product Queries.

The golden rule when manually setting the order is to sort them from top to bottom, according to the number of products in the Product Query to which the template is applied. This means from the smallest to the largest.

If you want the app to do this for you, check **Automatic ordering of templates**. Your templates will be arranged by number in the Product Query. Later, when you change the number of products (add new ones to your feed / hide the ones you don’t want in the ad), the order will be changed. Opposite to that, when you know how your template order looks, you don’t need to turn on the feature.

 ![Option Automatically arrange the order of templates from within the application.](https://forum.mergado.com/uploads/default/original/1X/2d9dc453d14786ec5abea6b55aed7c31eb0dfa35.jpeg)

👉 For a deeper insight, see the [Set up a hierarchical order of templates in Feed Image Editor](https://www.feed-image-editor.com/set-hierarchical-order-templates-feed-image-editor) article.

## New supported ad systems 🆕

We’ ve added **three more** ad systems: Snapchat, Pinterest and Kaufland. You can find them in the editor in the output image format settings. These are the predefined and actual dimensions that your product images should meet.

 ![Kaufland, Snapchat and Pinterest in the Feed Image Editor app and Image validator.](https://forum.mergado.com/uploads/default/original/1X/b6c39cc832b76d00f022f1d57770ff3aa52240fb.png)

In addition to **automatic and bulk** dimensions adjusting, the app will also compress them (reduce the data size) if necessary, so that they can easily get into advertising.

You can find all three formats in the [Image validator](https://image-validator.com/). With it, you can easily check the state of your product images.

**🔧 We’ve also worked on bug fixing and other small things.**

# Improved graphic options, more than 20 pre-made templates –⁠ their new categories, or stickers 🎉

In this release, we fixed small errors and focused mainly on making the app’s **graphic tools better**. See what options have been added in [Feed Image Editor](https://store.mergado.com/detail/feedimageeditor/#about). 💫

## Editable templates 🆕

We’ve prepared templates that you can easily **customize** to your vision of an image campaign. Their previews appear on the right side of the app –⁠ after you select the format. See one example of how to edit them from the original version.

 ![Original and new (customized) version of the graphic templates.](https://forum.mergado.com/uploads/default/original/1X/72a714bd26755afc001fce793e3e28f5a801826c.jpeg)

## Categories of templates 📋

We regularly add new templates. To make the choice easier for you, we have **divided them thematically** into categories –⁠ according to the type of campaign.

 ![After selecting the format, choose from the thematically divided templates.](https://forum.mergado.com/uploads/default/original/1X/da2e93a1ee6f444a852232e84db899ee5e578c75.png)

## Stickers: autumn 🍁, winter ⛄ and ratings ⭐

Choose from a new series of stickers. From now you will find new ones in **winter** and **autumn themes**. We have also added a **ratings** folder. With it, you can select the number of stars your product has received, for example from customers.

 ![Example of templates with stickers.](https://forum.mergado.com/uploads/default/original/1X/54570af051b4751fadf5c8f5f0213eeed137bd81.jpeg)

## Lock layers 🔒🔓

If you work with more complex graphic templates that contain multiple elements, you will appreciate the **ability to lock individually added layer** s. A lock pauses all movement (editing) so the layer remains in place without change. Meanwhile, you can work with the other layers. If you need to edit a certain layer, just **unlock** it again. You can lock an unlimited number of layers.

 ![Working with locked and unlocked layers.](https://forum.mergado.com/uploads/default/original/1X/ce09c64c15355b296d327f77e1e66bec1e9ffc6c.jpeg)

## Template bulk duplication 🆕

To save the created template, you must fill in its name and choose which product query it applies to. Before saving the template, you **must select one of the output formats**. With that, you don’t have to look for it for a long time. It will appear at the very top of the list according to the type of export in Mergado.

# Bend the text into the newly added shapes

Released - date and time: 31/01/2023 12:06

Work with texts in graphic templates a little more creatively. 🎨 In the last release, we added two options - **text in a circle** and the option to **change the outline color**. Also, we added a **new category in the template gallery** and a minor **change in the helper**. 🆕

## Text in the shape of a circle ⭕

Curve your text into a circle shape. It takes only one click in the app. You can set **different filling colors** for circles, outlines, and letters.

 ![Choose how your text should be oriented.](https://forum.mergado.com/uploads/default/original/1X/c8864008385333cd895b667fba283bb62e37aa03.png)

If you completely reduce the filling transparency, the circle **disappears**.

 ![](https://forum.mergado.com/uploads/default/original/1X/fb3a07432a3c6f7a7c40a73a5b92a697302cff69.png)

## Different thicknesses and colors of text outline 🔠

The line of letters and its filling no longer have to have the same color. Choose **combinations** that fit your brand or product.

 ![You can widen and narrow the margins according to your preference.](https://forum.mergado.com/uploads/default/original/1X/047b54aea496afec0949f4b945ee098c5314e0e4.png)

## New template gallery - choose your background ⬜

After choosing the output format, you get a template gallery. The templates are divided thematically into different categories. Newly, you can find a category for choosing a **product image background** among them.

 ![](https://forum.mergado.com/uploads/default/original/1X/57c7eed58967632f382f7c01ae00cfeaef155d51.png)

## Gradient editing with new UI 🔮

You can make a **smooth transition** between colors using a gradient. We have created a few predefined styles you can use straight away or fine-tune and choose as a background for a product image.

 ![](https://forum.mergado.com/uploads/default/original/1X/49399567216bff5ae9c2f776187c488bce651ce0.png)

## Editing help 💡

A helper navigates you through the app’s workflow. If you no longer need it, close the helper to **minimize it**. If you click it, the helper opens up again.

🔧 In addition to these new features, we have been working on removing minor bugs. If you have any ideas to improve the app, please email us at [support@feedimageeditor.com](mailto:support@feedimageeditor.com). 📫

# Using dominant colors as a background for product images and working with color palettes 🎨

**Release date and time: 13/3/2023 13:31**

The latest release focuses on **working with colors**. From now on, you can choose one of the three dominant colors from the source image or create your **own color palette** using the Feed Image Editor application. You can even **create a color palette** from your own uploaded images.

## Using a dominant color from the product image as a background 🟪

The color generated for the image background is based on the dominant color of the product. You have three options here.

 ![First dominant color.](https://forum.mergado.com/uploads/default/original/1X/29b4d5c906ea073fd2b51f436b7b81b72a20fc5d.jpeg)

## Importing colors from a pre-made palette :data_import:

Need a little help with colors in your image campaigns? The app provides you with pre-made color palettes. Choose the ones that appeal to you and use the colors that you deem appropriate. You can delete the rest by clicking the cross.

 ![Importind pre-made palette.](https://forum.mergado.com/uploads/default/original/1X/08448bb1a280c0c6ca7783a6d053bb16b932e113.jpeg)

## Editing the UI for your own palettes 👩‍🎨

You can easily create your **own color palettes**. Follow these steps:

1. Open Settings
2. Select Color Palettes
3. Choose predefined palettes or create your own by uploading an image. The application will generate colors.

 ![Create your own color palette.](https://forum.mergado.com/uploads/default/original/1X/cb5d5932520ac0a25855a1021c26673d211e47dc.png)

You can differentiate the generated colors from the image and display individual **HEX codes**.

# New 84 backgrounds for product images generated by Midjourney 🤖

**Released - Date and Time: 5/5/2023 07:06**

## 84 backgrounds for product images 🎆

We continually update our inventory of pre-made graphic elements. This time, instead of a graphic designer, we enlisted the help of the **AI tool Midjourney,** which generated **84 backgrounds** specifically for product images. Take a look at some of them:

## Upload an image to the image directly from the element ➕

Previously, you could only upload the price or name from the feed into the images. Now, you can also include a different image in the product image, such as a **brand logo** or a **graphic element** for a free gift. All you need to do is include its **URL address** in any (even custom) **element in the feed**. It will then be automatically uploaded to the template.

## Support for additional input image MIME types 🙌

Now you can also upload images in the following formats to the Feed Image Editor:

- image/pjpeg
- image/avif
- image/x-avif
- image/x-ms-bmp
