How to create a Main (cover) Image?

Your product's main image is very important since it creates the first impression on the buyers. In fact, it’s a make-or-break deal. A good or bad main image will translate into potential buyers clicking and checking your product details. If the image is bad then you are risking losing a lot of sales even if your product is excellent.

At PieceX we want to simplify our seller's experience and give all the tools to increase our seller’s sales. That is why we offer our sellers our free customized “Main Image Creation Tool”.
