Step-by-Step Guide

1

Prepare your product image

Start with a clear product photo. If your product has a busy background, use background removal first to get a clean cutout. The cleaner your source image, the better your AI photos will be.

Pro Tip: Well-lit photos with neutral backgrounds work best as source images.
2

Choose your scene type

Select what type of product photo you want: Lifestyle (product in real-world settings), Studio (professional white/colored backgrounds), Model (AI model holding your product), or Flat Lay (top-down styled shot).

Pro Tip: Lifestyle images typically convert 20-35% better than plain white backgrounds.
3

Select or customize the scene

Choose from pre-built scene templates or describe your ideal scene. You can specify backgrounds, lighting, props, and atmosphere. Our AI generates photorealistic results based on your input.

Pro Tip: Be specific in your descriptions - 'modern kitchen with marble countertop' works better than just 'kitchen'.
4

Generate and review

Click generate and wait 10-30 seconds. Review your AI product photo and regenerate with different settings if needed. You can generate multiple variations to find the perfect shot.

Pro Tip: Generate 3-5 variations to find the best composition for your listing.
5

Download high-resolution images

Download your AI product photos in high resolution, ready for Amazon, Shopify, social media, and print. No watermarks on paid plans.

Pro Tip: Use different scenes for different platforms - lifestyle for social, clean backgrounds for marketplaces.
