How to make product photos with AI

  1. 1

    Take one clear photo

    Any phone photo works if the whole product is in frame, in focus and lit evenly. A cluttered kitchen table is fine; the background gets replaced.

  2. 2

    Upload it and pick the shot

    Upload the photo, then describe the result: a white background, a scene, hands holding it, a gift box, a detail graphic. Say what must not change.

  3. 3

    Choose model, quality and shape

    GPT Image 2.5 is selected to start with; Nano Banana 2.1 is the pick for large images. Set the aspect ratio for where the image goes. The price updates before you spend anything.

  4. 4

    Check it against the real product

    Compare the handle, the lid, the label and the colour with your photo before you publish. If one detail drifted, run the edit again and name that detail.

Product image rules for Amazon, Shopify and Etsy

Copied from each platform’s own seller pages, with the date we checked. Rules change and some differ by category, so check the linked page before you upload.

Amazon

From Amazon’s own seller guides. Amazon’s formal image policy in Seller Central needs a seller login, so check it there too, especially for your category.

Shopify

Etsy

Etsy has the clearest rules on AI-edited photos: an AI generator can’t make every image an Etsy listing needs.

  • Every listing needs at least one unedited photo of the actual item against a real background (with some exceptions by item type). (Etsy Help: image requirements, checked October 30, 2026)
  • Images must accurately show the item’s colour, condition, scale and materials. Other photos may be edited with AI (light, colour, crop, background), but not to hide flaws or change how the item looks. (Etsy Help: image requirements, checked October 30, 2026)
  • Photos should be at least 2000 pixels wide and tall. JPG, PNG, GIF, SVG or HEIC; transparent PNGs aren’t supported, and files over 1 MB may not finish uploading. (Etsy Help: image requirements, checked October 30, 2026)
  • Leave a border around the item so the thumbnail can be cropped square, portrait or landscape. (Etsy Help: image requirements, checked October 30, 2026)
  • Up to 20 photos per listing. (Etsy Help: how to create a listing, checked October 30, 2026)
  • If an item itself is created with AI, say so in the listing description. (Etsy Help: what can I sell, checked October 30, 2026)

How to write a product photo prompt

What to put in the prompt, in the order the models read it best.

Call it “the supplied product” and describe it once

Tell the model the photo is the exact reference, then name the details that make it yours: colour, material, handle side, lid, label text.

“Use the supplied blue travel mug as the exact product reference. Preserve the cobalt-blue ceramic body, the curved handle on the left, the ivory lid…”

Say what changes, and only that

Name the one thing that changes (the background, the scene, the light) and add “change only …”. Several changes at once are where products drift.

“Change only the setting and lighting.”

Give the layout in numbers

For listings and banners, say how much of the frame the product fills and where the empty space goes.

“Product fills about 75% of the canvas height. Leave the right third uncluttered as copy space.”

Ban what you don’t want added

Models like to add props, logos, badges and a second product. Say no to each.

“No added objects, no text, no logo, no badge, no watermark. Do not redesign the product.”

Quote every word on a graphic

Write the headline and labels exactly, in quotes, and say the language. Then check every word and line before you upload.

“Add exactly this English headline: "Three details. One mug." All text must be in English.”

What to photograph

The better the input, the less the model has to guess. Put the whole product in the frame, keep it sharp, and light it evenly; window light is enough. Shoot it from the angle you want in the result, since a front view can’t become a back view without the model inventing the back. If the product has a label or a logo, make sure it is readable in the photo. Clutter around it doesn’t matter: our mug example started on a kitchen table with keys, a towel and a fruit bowl.

Keep the product exactly as it is

OpenAI’s guide for edits comes down to three things: say “change only …”, list what must stay (shape, colour, cap, label text, logo) and make one change per edit. For a series, edit the last result and repeat what must be preserved. Then compare with your photo detail by detail: Atlas Cloud warns that a polished background swap can still quietly change a cap height, a label character, a colour or a logo edge.

Be honest with buyers

AI product photos are for presenting the product you sell, not a better one. Keep colours, size and details true to what arrives, and don’t add features, accessories or certifications the product doesn’t have. Lifestyle scenes are fine as long as the product in them is accurate.

How we made the samples on this page

The mug is a fictional product, and its phone photo was made with GPT Image 2.5 so no real brand or person is involved. Every result uses a prompt from a published test (Felo, BulkImagen, Fuser) or OpenAI’s guide, credited on each card, run once on zzo.ai and checked against the input. None of the images were edited, and where a result differs from the prompt, the note says so.

When a result goes wrong

The usual problems, why they happen and what to change.

A detail of the product changed

Why: Edits can quietly change a cap height, a label character, a colour or a logo edge, even when the scene looks perfect.

Fix: Name those details in the prompt as things to keep, compare with your photo, and run the edit again on the detail that drifted.

An extra product, prop or logo appeared

Why: Models fill empty space with things that fit the scene.

Fix: Add “no additional products, no props, no logo, no text” and describe the background as plain or empty.

The background isn’t pure white

Why: Shadows and soft light can tint a white background slightly off-white.

Fix: Ask for a pure white background and one subtle contact shadow, then check the corner pixels. For a guaranteed white, make a transparent cutout and place it on white yourself.

The hands look wrong

Why: Fingers around handles and thin parts are the classic AI mistake.

Fix: Ask for the fingers through the handle, check the result closely, and run it again if needed.

Labels on a graphic are misspelled or point at the wrong part

Why: Small text and connector lines are easy to get slightly wrong.

Fix: Use few, short labels in quotes, and proofread every word and line before you publish.

The image was refused or failed

Why: The model’s filter or our policy check blocked the image, the prompt or the result, or the model timed out.

Fix: Nothing is charged: the credits come back automatically. Don’t upload other brands’ logos or photos of people without consent.

Questions

Updated 2026-10-30

How do I make product photos with AI from my own photo?

Upload one clear photo of the product, describe the shot you want and say what must stay the same: shape, colour, handle, lid, label text. Generate, compare the result with your photo, and fix any detail with one more edit.

Can AI make product photos from a phone picture?

Yes. Every result in the six-shot example above started from one cluttered phone snapshot on a kitchen table. The whole product should be in frame, sharp and evenly lit; the background doesn’t matter.

Which AI model is best for product photos?

GPT Image 2.5 for edits that must keep the product exactly, for labelled graphics and for transparent cutouts; it is first on the Artificial Analysis image editing leaderboard. Nano Banana 2.1 for large images up to 4K and for new shots from a written brief. One account and one balance cover both.

Can I use AI product photos on Amazon?

Yes, as long as each image shows the product you actually sell: Amazon says sellers are responsible for AI-made listing content representing the product accurately. Its seller guides ask for a white background (RGB 255, 255, 255) with the product filling 85% or more of the frame, as listed above. The formal policy for your category is in Seller Central.

Can I use AI product photos on Etsy or Shopify?

On Shopify, yes: its rules cover file type and size, not how the photo was made. Etsy is stricter: every listing needs at least one unedited photo of the actual item against a real background, and AI edits may change light, colour, crop or background but not how the item looks. Use AI for the other photos.

Can I remove the background and get a transparent PNG?

Yes, with GPT Image 2.5: switch on Transparent background, upload the photo and ask it to isolate the product. You get a PNG with a real alpha channel, at the same price. Check hair, glass, shadows and thin edges.

Can I make a white-background main image?

Yes. Ask for a pure white background, the product centred and filling most of the frame, and one subtle shadow, as in the first example above. Check the background colour and the product before you upload it.

Will the AI change my product or its label?

It shouldn’t, and both models kept our mug’s handle and lid in every shot above, but check every time. Name the details that matter in the prompt and compare before you publish.

Can I show my product with a person?

Yes: describe the person (“two hands in a knit sweater holding the mug”) or start from a photo you have the rights to. Don’t upload photos of real people without their consent; public figures are refused.

Can I make a whole set that matches?

Yes. Keep one prompt and change only the product photo, so every item in a collection gets the same background and light. Save the prompt from your history.

How big are the images?

Nano Banana 2.1 goes up to 4K; GPT Image 2.5 returns up to 1280 pixels on the long side here. The table at the top lists both, and the marketplace section lists what each platform asks for.

Can I use the images commercially?

Yes, on your listings, store and ads, as long as you own the rights to the product photo you upload and the content follows our terms.

Do I need a subscription?

No. Buy a credit pack once and use it on any model; credits never expire. The button shows the price of each image before you generate, and failed or refused images are refunded automatically.
