# AI Product Photography for E-Commerce

> Upload a product photo and generate studio-quality e-commerce images with custom backgrounds, lighting, and compositions — powered by GPT Image 2.

Product Photography transforms an ordinary product photo into a polished studio shot. Upload your product image, configure the scene — background, lighting, camera angle, composition — and Artnex generates a commercial-quality result using GPT Image 2. No studio, no photographer, no post-production workflow.

## Navigate to Product Photography

Go to **Tools > Image > Product Photography** in the Artnex sidebar.

## Generate a product photo

<Steps>
  <Step title="Upload your product image">
    Click **Product** in the bottom control bar and select your product photo. The file must be under 25 MB. A preview of your product appears above the gallery once uploaded.

    For clean results, see [tips below](#tips-for-best-results).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose a shot mode">
    Select a shot mode from the dropdown. Each mode applies a distinct visual treatment:

    | Mode                       | Description                                                                                         |
    | -------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
    | **Marketplace Main Image** | Clean, centered, pure white background. Optimized for Amazon, Shopify, and other listing platforms. |
    | **Premium Studio Ad**      | High-end cinematic lighting with a luxury commercial aesthetic.                                     |
    | **Lifestyle Scene**        | Product placed naturally in a contextual environment with depth of field.                           |
    | **Hero Banner**            | Wide composition with generous negative space, ad-ready for web heroes.                             |
    | **Social Media Post**      | Vibrant, scroll-stopping layout ready for Instagram and TikTok feeds.                               |
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set lighting and camera angle">
    Use the **Lighting** and **Camera** dropdowns to fine-tune the scene:

    **Lighting options:** Soft Studio, Natural, Dramatic, Bright

    **Camera angle options:** Straight On, 45 Degree, Overhead, Low Angle
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure advanced settings (optional)">
    Click **Advanced** in the control bar to access additional options:

## Tips for best results

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Start with a clean product shot" icon="package">
    The AI preserves your product's exact shape, colors, labels, and materials. A clear, well-photographed product image gives the model the most to work with.
  </Card>

  <Card title="White or neutral background works best" icon="image">
    Starting with a product on a white or light neutral background makes it easier for the model to recompose the scene cleanly. Cluttered source backgrounds can bleed into the output.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Match mode to platform" icon="shopping-cart">
    Use **Marketplace Main Image** for Amazon or Shopify listings (white background, clean center). Use **Hero Banner** or **Social Media Post** for ads and campaigns.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Use Custom Notes for specifics" icon="pencil">
    If you need something not covered by the preset options — specific props, text placement, seasonal themes — add it in the **Custom Notes** field in Advanced settings.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

<Warning>The model preserves your product's existing branding, logos, and labels. It will not invent new text, symbols, or product features. If your source photo has low resolution or heavy compression, the output quality will be limited accordingly.</Warning>

## Common use cases

* **E-commerce main listings** — Generate platform-compliant white-background product shots for Amazon, Etsy, and Shopify.
* **Paid advertising** — Create multiple scene variations (hero banner, lifestyle, social) from a single product photo to A/B test ad creatives.
* **Marketing campaigns** — Produce seasonal or themed product visuals without scheduling reshoots.
* **Social media content** — Build a consistent product aesthetic across Instagram and TikTok posts using the same product image with different scene configurations.
