Important: A poor input image causes the AI model to misread your product. Credits are consumed but you won’t get the output you expect.

​
How to prepare your product image

The product image you upload gives the AI model all the information it has about your product. Any issues in this image will directly affect the output.

Correct

Plain or white background
Single-color, clean surface
Product centered in frame
Shot from the angle you want in the output
Sufficient resolution — not blurry
Full product in frame, not cropped

Incorrect

Tripods, light stands, or cameras in background
Complex or patterned background
Wanting a front view but uploading a side angle
Part of the product cut off by the frame
Low resolution or heavily compressed image
Multiple products in the same frame
Angle rule: If you want a front-facing output, your uploaded image must also be front-facing. The AI model cannot generate a front view from a side-angle photo.

​
Cropping and background cleanup

Crop your image tightly before uploading. Don’t leave excessive empty space around the product. If possible, remove the background beforehand — a plain white or transparent background gives the AI model the cleanest possible input.

​
Choosing a reference image

The reference image is your second input and guides the style of the output. The cleaner and more focused your reference, the more predictable the result.

Good reference

A single, clear style or atmosphere
Shows the lighting and color tone you want
A visual from a similar product category

Weak reference

A busy scene with too many elements
Unrelated category (mismatched product type)
Low resolution or blurry image
Part of the product cut off by the frame
Multiple products in the same frame
