When buyers compare ten photos, does yours earn the click?

ListBoost scores every product photo on listing appeal, shopper trust, and AI visual-search readability — then previews the smallest fix that closes each gap, right inside Canva.

Classic product photography

Shot for human shoppers in a feed. Hero shot, white background, lifestyle alt — judged by an art director, not by a marketplace ranker.

Visual-search era

Marketplaces and AI visual search rank photos on framing, margin, contrast, and recognizability — not how pretty they look. The rubric changed under your feet.

What ListBoost does

Scores each photo against the new rubric, explains what's hurting the score, previews the smallest fix in Canva, and saves your Shop Style so the next photo follows it.

How it works

A loop, not a one-time retouch.

ListBoost runs the cycle on every photo you score. As your catalog grows and marketplaces tweak their rankers, the rubric, the recommendations, and your Shop Style all keep pace.

01
Score

Pick a photo open in Canva. ListBoost returns three scores — Listing, Shopper, and Visual search — with a confidence line and the rubric pillars that limited each.

02
Explain

“Why not 100?” shows the specific reason: tight margin on the right, low contrast on the subject, busy background, off-center crop. One reason per fix, not a wall of advice.

03
Preview

Each recommended fix is shown as a non-destructive preview inside Canva. Compare against your last-applied baseline, revert without committing.

04
Apply

Apply the fix with one click — and optionally save the result as your Shop Style so the next photo gets the same crop, margin, and palette automatically.

Who it’s for

Sellers whose first photo decides everything.

Built for the people who run their listings themselves — independent sellers, small teams, and creators where there’s no in-house art department to absorb the photography burden.

Marketplace sellers

Etsy, eBay, Faire, Mercari. You ship your own photos and live or die by how a thumbnail reads against ten others in a feed.

Shopify merchants & solopreneurs

DTC stores running on Shopify, Squarespace, BigCommerce, or Wix where the product page hero photo is the first thing a buyer judges.

Digital product creators

Templates, prints, planners, and digital-asset shops where the product *is* the photo — the score is your conversion rate.

Why this, not another AI photo app

Most “AI photo” apps generate new images. We score the ones you already trust and walk you through the smallest fix.

Three-axis rubric
It scores against three real rubrics, not a vibe.

Every photo gets a Listing score, a Shopper score, and a Visual-search score with a confidence line — so you can see which axis is dragging the photo down before you change anything.

Explain · Preview · Apply
It explains why, then previews the fix.

Each recommendation comes with a one-line reason and a non-destructive preview. You see the new crop, margin, contrast, or background before deciding to apply or revert.

Photo-first, not generator
It works on the photos you already have.

ListBoost is a readiness checker, not a generator. It runs on your existing photos inside Canva — no new shoot required, no synthetic backgrounds, no AI-generated product imagery.

Shop Style
It learns your Shop Style.

Save the framing, margin, and palette you settle on once. Apply that Shop Style to the next photo with one click — useful for one shop, essential for sellers running multiple storefronts.

FAQ

Straight answers.

What does ListBoost actually do?+

It scores any product photo you have open in Canva on three axes — Listing, Shopper, and Visual search — explains why the score is not 100, previews a recommended fix (crop, margins, contrast, background), and lets you apply or revert with one click.

Where does it run?+

Inside Canva. ListBoost is a Canva app — once installed, it lives in the design editor as a panel that operates on the image you have selected.

Will this replace my photographer?+

No. ListBoost is a readiness checker, not a generator. It works on the photos you already have, surfaces the structural issues a marketplace and a visual-search algorithm would penalize, and walks you through the smallest fix that closes each gap.

Does it work for one shop or many?+

Both. The Shop Style feature saves your color, framing, and margin choices once, then applies them as a consistent template to every photo you score afterwards — useful for a single shop and essential for sellers running multiple storefronts.

Do you store my product photos?+

MVP processing happens client-side in Canva via the browser's Canvas API. Photos aren't uploaded to a third-party server for analysis. See the full Privacy Policy on raiselabs.app/listingboost/privacy.

When will batch fixing land?+

Single-image scoring is the MVP. Batch fixing across a folder of photos is the first post-MVP milestone. Join the waitlist to hear about it the day it ships.
