## What the story says

Depop embedded Photoroom's API-powered background removal, AI shadows and image resizing into its seller listing flow, so sellers can clean up product photos while creating listings without using external apps.

Summary written by usedby from the source page, in English. The figures are those of Photoroom and Depop, not ours.

> Since going live, Photoroom's tools have been adopted quickly across the Depop community:

- **1.5%**: “1.5% uplift in items listed once AI shadows were added alongside background removal, a meaningful increase at peer-to-peer marketplace scale.”
- **9%**: “Adoption was low, with only 9% of eligible users posting with the background removed.”
- **6,000**: “Items listed saw a 1.5% uplift, which represents approximately 6,000 additional items listed every day at Depop's scale of 400,000 daily listings.”

> We're proud to be the first fashion resale marketplace to partner with Photoroom, enabling sellers to quickly create high-quality product shots that help their listings stand out.

> Sonia Biddle, Chief Product Officer

> We'd been thinking about photo editing with AI for a long time, but we didn't have the knowledge or experience to do it well in-house. That's why we chose to partner with Photoroom. And it was collaborative from the start; our teams ideated and ran a hack week together, which helped us move faster.
