This guide covers the hands-on workflows for creating, managing, and generating content from Styles and Collections in AI Studio's My Styles section.
<!-- 📸 HERO IMAGE: My Styles page with a Collection selected, several Styles visible in the list, and one Style previewed in the right panel -->
Creating a New Collection
Go to My Styles in the left sidebar
Click + New Collection in the top right
Choose how you want to create your Collection:
Method | What it does |
Import from Shopify | Paste your Shopify collection page URL — AI Studio imports every product in that collection and creates a separate Style for each one, with all its images |
Upload ZIP Folder | Upload a ZIP folder of product images — each subfolder becomes its own Style within the Collection |
Import from Google Drive | Import from a Google Drive folder — each product's images are pulled in and organised as individual Styles |
Create Manually | Start with an empty Collection and add Styles one by one yourself |
With the import methods (Shopify, ZIP, Google Drive), you don't get an empty folder — AI Studio automatically creates a Style for every product it finds and pulls in all associated images. For example, importing a Shopify collection with 25 products will create a Collection containing 25 Styles, each with its own product images already uploaded and ready to process.
Create Manually is the only method that starts with an empty Collection. Use it when you want to add products one at a time or when your images aren't in one of the supported import sources.

Tip: If your products are already on Shopify, Import from Shopify is the fastest path — paste the collection URL and AI Studio imports everything in one go. For brands not on Shopify, Upload ZIP Folder is the next quickest option for bulk imports.
Adding Styles to a Collection
Select a Collection from the left panel
Click + Add Style at the top of the Styles list
Upload your product images or paste a product URL
AI Studio will process the images — analysing the product, detecting the category, and classifying images as Front or Back views.
Once processing completes, the Style appears in the list with a Processed status badge and is ready for generation.

Products vs Banners
Each Collection has two tabs: Products and Banners.
Add product images under the Products tab — these are used for on-model images, videos, ghost mannequin, and hanger rack outputs
Add banner assets under the Banners tab — these are used for campaign creatives and marketing banners

Previewing a Style
Click on any Style in the list to open the preview panel on the right. The preview shows:
Style name — e.g., "Serene White Maxi Dress"
Processed images — the final processed output images
Input images — the original product images you uploaded, with their Front/Back classification
Open Editor — button to edit the Style's images, name, or classification
<!-- 📸 SCREENSHOT: Style preview panel showing the product name, processed images at the top, and input images with Front/Back labels below -->
Linking a Guideline to a Collection
Linking a Guideline to a Collection means every Style in that Collection can be generated with the same settings — no per-product configuration needed.
In the Collections list, find the Collection you want to link
Click + Link Guideline under the Collection name
Select a Guideline from your library
Once linked, the Guideline name appears under the Collection name. You can change or unlink it at any time.
<!-- 📸 SCREENSHOT: Collection with "+ Link Guideline" text, and another Collection showing a linked Guideline name (e.g., "sample_guideline_1") -->
Tip: If you haven't created a Guideline yet, go to My Guidelines → + Create Guideline first, then come back and link it. See What are Guidelines and why do they matter? for the full walkthrough.
Generating Content from Styles
Single Style
Select a Style by clicking its checkbox in the Styles list
In the bottom bar, choose your output type (Images, Videos, etc.)
Select the AI model and resolution
Click Create
Batch Generation (Multiple Styles)
Select multiple Styles using their checkboxes — or use the select-all checkbox at the top of the Styles list
Confirm the output type, AI model, and resolution in the bottom bar
Click Create
AI Studio will generate content for every selected Style using the Collection's linked Guideline settings. If no Guideline is linked, you'll be prompted to configure settings manually.
<!-- 📸 SCREENSHOT: Bottom bar with multiple Styles selected, showing the selection count, output type set to "Images", AI model set to "Auto", resolution set to "1K", and the Create button -->
Tip: For large drops (30+ SKUs), batch generation is the fastest workflow. Link your Guideline, select all Styles, and generate in one go. A 50-product Collection at standard resolution can be generated in a single session.
Managing Style Statuses
Styles move through different statuses as they're processed and reviewed.
Processing Statuses
Status | What to do |
Processed | Ready to generate — no action needed |
Needs Input | Open the Style editor and provide the missing information or images |
Failed | Check the input images — re-upload with cleaner, higher-resolution product shots |
Review Statuses
Status | What it means |
Approved | Reviewed and confirmed — ready for final generation |
In Review | Shared via a Review Link, waiting for feedback |
Editing a Style
Click Open Editor in the Style preview panel (or click the Style name) to:
Rename the Style
Add or remove input images
Reclassify images as Front or Back
View and manage processed outputs
Changes take effect immediately — no need to reprocess unless you upload new images.

Managing Collections
Sorting and Filtering
Use the sort icon at the top of the Collections or Styles list to reorder by name, date, or status
Use the filter icon in the Styles list to filter by processing status, review status, or type
Searching
Use the Search styles bar in the top right to find a specific Style across all Collections by name.
