AI Studio's Create from Scratch flow gives you full control over every aspect of your image — from the product input and model choice to pose, background, and styling. This article walks through each step in detail so you can consistently produce high-quality, on-brand results.
Before You Start: Getting Your Product Input Right
The quality of your output is directly tied to the quality of your product input. Here's what works best:
Ideal product images:
Clean, well-lit shot against a plain white or neutral background
Full product visible with no cropping at edges
JPG or PNG, minimum 800×800px recommended
Avoid heavily styled or already-on-model images — AI Studio works best with flat lay or ghost mannequin shots
Product URL: If you paste a product URL (from Shopify or another store), AI Studio will extract all product images automatically. Use this when you have multiple angles already hosted online — it saves upload time and gives the model more to work with.
Selecting from My Styles: If you've previously added this product to your style library, select it from My Styles. This preserves classification and product metadata, ensuring consistency across multiple shoots.
Tip: Using 2–4 product images (front + back + detail) gives AI Studio more context and typically produces more realistic garment fit and texture rendering.
Choosing Your Aspect Ratio
Select the output ratio before uploading, as it affects how poses and backgrounds are framed.
Ratio | Pixels (approx.) | Best for |
9:16 (Reels) | 1080 × 1920 | Instagram Reels, TikTok |
1:1 (Square) | 1080 × 1080 | Instagram feed, marketplace |
3:4 (Portrait) | 1080 × 1440 | Product detail pages |
4:3 (Landscape) | 1440 × 1080 | Website banners |
16:9 (Widescreen) | 1920 × 1080 | YouTube, desktop heroes |
Tip: For most eCommerce use cases, 3:4 (Portrait) is the safest default — it works on PDPs, app thumbnails, and most catalogue layouts.
Step 1: Classify Your Images
After uploading, AI Studio auto-detects your product category and classifies images as Front or Back views.
When to adjust classification:
If AI Studio misidentifies a side view as Front or Back, drag it to the correct column
If you have a detail shot (e.g., close-up of embroidery), you can leave it in Front — it adds texture context
For single-image uploads, leave the default as-is
Classification is optional but recommended. A correctly classified set improves pose accuracy, especially for asymmetric garments like wrap dresses or one-shoulder tops.
Step 2: Choose Your Model
AI Studio offers 95+ models across different ethnicities, age ranges, and body types.
Choosing strategically:
Match model demographics to your target audience for higher conversion
For high-fashion editorial shots, look for models tagged in the 20–28 age range with a taller frame
For everyday casual or plus-size lines, filter or browse for representative body types
Use your models — if you've previously created a custom model or have a brand face, select it from Use your models for continuity across campaigns
Tip: You can only select one model per creation run. If you want the same product on multiple models, run separate generations. Each run costs credits independently.
Step 3: Choose Style & Mood
This step has the biggest impact on the final look and feel of your images.
Shot Type
Catalog
Studio-lit, neutral backgrounds, product-forward. Best for marketplaces (Amazon, Myntra, Meesho) and PDPs where the product needs to be the clear focus.
Editorial
Lifestyle scenes, mood-driven lighting, contextual settings. Best for brand campaigns, social content, and lookbooks.
Pose Selection
Each pose preset pack contains 4–9 individual poses. Click a preset to preview the poses inside.
Standing full-body — most versatile; works for all garment types
Seated / casual — great for loungewear, denim, and lifestyle shots
Detail/close-up — for tops, accessories, or garments with texture details worth highlighting
Use your poses — if you've saved custom poses or reference poses, access them here
Tip: For a new product launch, run one batch with a standing full-body pose (catalog) and one with an editorial lifestyle pose. You'll get content for both your PDP and Instagram in a single session.
Auto-Style: On vs Off
Auto-Style ON (default): AI Studio automatically selects the background, accessories, and overall aesthetic to match your product. This is the fastest path to good results — use it when you're iterating quickly or don't have specific brand requirements.
Auto-Style OFF: Unlocks three additional controls:
Background — choose from preset environments (studio white, outdoor, café, urban street, etc.) or describe your own
Style Accessories — add props or styling notes (e.g., "minimal jewelry", "layered necklaces", "tote bag")
Additional Info — free-text field for anything specific: "model looking over shoulder", "moody evening lighting", "warm terracotta tones"
Tip: When turning off Auto-Style, be specific but not overly prescriptive. "Warm outdoor café, golden hour lighting" works better than a 5-line paragraph describing every detail.
Step 4: Review & Generate
Before spending credits, confirm your full configuration on the Review screen.
Choosing an AI Model
Model | Best for | Notes |
Auto | First-time use, mixed product types | AI Studio picks the best model for you |
Nano Banana 2 | Photoshoots, images with graphic text or prints | Strong at preserving print patterns |
Nano Banana Pro | High-end fashion, elevated realism | Enhanced detail rendering |
Seedream 4.5 | Balanced quality, strong product fidelity | Good all-rounder for most eCommerce |
Seedream 5.0 Lite | Best-in-class realism, pose accuracy | Supports Ultra (4K); use for hero images |
Model selection rule of thumb: Start with Auto or Seedream 4.5 for everyday use. Move to Seedream 5.0 Lite for final hero images or when you need maximum realism. Use Nano Banana 2 if your product has bold graphic prints or text.
Choosing Resolution
Resolution | Use case | Credits per image |
0.5K | Quick preview / internal review | Lower |
Standard | Social media, app thumbnails | 10 credits |
High | PDPs, campaign assets | 10 credits |
Ultra (4K) | Print, large-format display | 10 credits |
Credits math: Each Full HD image costs 10 credits. A typical session generating 6 poses at Standard resolution = 60 credits. Growth plan users have 300 credits/month. Free plan users have 5 credits/month.
Click Generate Images to start. Generation typically takes 30–90 seconds depending on resolution and server load. Your images will appear in All Creations when ready.
After Generation: What to Do Next
Once your images are ready:
Download — save directly from All Creations
Edit — use Text Edit to refine details via a prompt, or Visual Edit for targeted area changes
Regenerate — re-run with the same settings to get a different variation
Troubleshooting
Patterns or colours don't match the original product: Hit Regenerate to create the image again — this fixes the issue most of the time. If the problem keeps showing up on one specific image, use the Edit option to correct it directly.
Background or accessories need adjusting: Use Edit mode to make changes. For more targeted fixes, switch to Visual mode, which gives you finer control over specific areas of the image.
