How do I make Amazon listing photos with AI?
Open AI Product Listing Photos, upload one product photo and pick the Amazon preset. The main image is built to Amazon’s main-image rules and then checked on the server:
- pure white background (RGB 255, 255, 255);
- the product fills at least 85% of the frame;
- no added text, logos or props.
Then tick the secondary images you want: feature callouts, a dimensions spec sheet, a comparison chart, how-to-use steps, what’s in the box and a lifestyle scene. Amazon sellers can add up to three A+ Content banners (970×600, 970×300 and 1464×600 px). Images come out at 2000×2000 px. Flipkart, Meesho and Shopify presets are also available.
Amazon’s rules focus on accuracy: the main image has to show the product the buyer will receive. Check your category’s style guide, as rules change from time to time.
How do I make lifestyle product images for Instagram?
Use AI Product Photography. Upload the product and pick style packs: lifestyle scenes, outdoor hero shots, dark luxury studio, festive Indian themes or seasonal campaigns. Each pack gives four shots for 20 credits, so one upload can return up to 24 images.
If you are worried the AI will redraw your product, switch on Keep real product (4 credits per photo). It cuts out the product and pastes the original pixels into the new scene, so labels and small text stay exactly as photographed.
How does the AI ghost mannequin effect work?
The Ghost Mannequin tool turns a garment photographed on a mannequin, hanger or flat surface into the hollow “invisible mannequin” look used on clothing stores. Upload the front photo. Optionally add a close-up of the inside collar so your real label shows, and a back photo for a separate back view. Each view is rendered twice and the better render is kept.
On the default GPT Image 2.5 model that is 10 credits for a front view and 20 with the back view. Nano Banana Pro costs 36 for the front and 72 for both. Use even light and keep the whole garment in frame.
How do I make a flat lay with AI?
Flat Lay arranges your products top-down on a styled surface. With one product it costs 6 credits for two scenes. With 2 to 5 products, each item is cut out and arranged together, which costs 40 to 43 credits for two arranged flat lays. You can set a brand colour and add props in words, such as “eucalyptus leaves, a linen napkin”.
What does an AI product photo enhancer do?
The Product Photo Enhancer cleans up the photo you already have. It makes an HD cut-out, places it on a clean background in the shape you choose, and can add a soft contact shadow or a mirror reflection. An optional lighting fix corrects a colour cast. It costs 2 credits. Optional AI clean-up, a masked retouch of the product surface only (for dust or scratches), adds 5 credits.
Can AI clone the style of another product photo?
Yes. Clone Product Photo takes a reference image whose look you like and a photo of your product, then recreates that composition, lighting and mood with your product in it. It renders twice and keeps the better result, for 39 credits. Use it to match the look of your existing catalogue or a style you admire. Copy the look, not another brand’s logo, packaging or photo.
Can I get model photos for my clothing brand without a photoshoot?
AI Virtual Try-On puts a specific garment on a person. Upload a photo of the model and an image of the garment (a flat lay, hanger shot or store image). Each look is rendered in a different setting: Studio Catalog, Street Style, Lifestyle Outdoor, Evening / Party, Mirror Selfie or Editorial Fashion. Each look costs 5 credits. Use photos of adults who have agreed to it, and pair the result with a ghost mannequin shot so shoppers see both the fit and the garment alone.
For a moving version, the AI Try-On Video tool turns the outfit into a short clip.
A simple product photo workflow
- Shoot every product once with your phone in even daylight.
- Run Product Photo Enhancer for clean cut-outs (2 credits each).
- Make the marketplace set in AI Product Listing Photos (15 credits for a starter set).
- Add social content with AI Product Photography or Flat Lay.
- For clothing, add Ghost Mannequin and Virtual Try-On shots.
- Compare every image with the real product before you publish.
Example cost for one product: enhancer 2 + listing starter set 15 + one lifestyle pack 20 = 37 credits.
Limits to know
- AI can still misdraw fine text or tiny details. Use the “Keep real product” mode and check labels.
- Very reflective, transparent or tangled items (glassware, jewellery chains) need more re-rolls.
- The tools make images, not product videos. For video, see how to make a product video ad with AI.
- For a wider list of generators, see best AI product photo generators and AI product photography without a studio.
