You found a great product on 1688, imported it, and set a fair price, but it still is not selling. Before you blame the ad or the price, look at the images. If they still carry Chinese characters, promotional stamps, or wholesale watermarks, you have quietly told every visitor that this item was copied from somewhere cheaper. That impression is very hard to recover from.
Text on Images Breaks Trust Instantly
Western shoppers may not read Chinese, but they recognize instantly when a product photo does not match the store around it. Characters splashed across an image read as unprofessional at best and as a scam at worst. Conversion is largely a trust exercise, and a single wholesale-looking photo can undo an otherwise polished product page.
Promotional overlays make it worse. Text like other-seller pricing, minimum order quantities, or festival discounts belongs to the wholesale context and is meaningless, even alarming, to a retail customer who just wants to know what they are buying.
Manual Editing Does Not Scale
You could open every image in a photo editor, clone out the text, and re-export, but that is minutes per image across dozens of images per product. For a store adding new products every week, manual cleanup is the bottleneck that quietly caps how many listings you can launch.
The temptation is to publish dirty images and fix them later. In practice later never comes, and those listings underperform for their entire life on the store.
How Automated OCR Cleaning Works
Prodinxy runs optical character recognition across every collected image to locate Chinese text, watermarks, and promotional overlays. Images that are mostly text are removed from the set, while genuine product shots are kept. Crucially, variant images are protected, so the photos your customers rely on to choose a color or size are never lost in the cleanup.
Because scraping and image cleaning are free in Prodinxy, you can clean an entire product gallery before deciding whether it is worth a credit to generate the full listing. There is no reason to ever ship images that leak your sourcing.
Clean images are not a nice-to-have; they are the difference between a page that looks like a real brand and one that looks like a reselling experiment. Prodinxy makes the clean version the default, automatically, on every product you collect.
