ai product photo generatorai product photo ecommerceproduct photography ai

Product photography is one of the biggest expenses for e-commerce sellers. A professional shoot costs $25-$100 per product. With AI, you can create equally compelling images for pennies.

Why E-Commerce Sellers Are Switching to AI

The Numbers - Traditional product photography: $25-$100 per product - AI-generated product photos: $0.03-$0.10 per image - **Savings: 90-99%**

Speed Advantage - Traditional: Schedule shoot → photograph → edit → deliver (1-3 weeks) - AI: Upload basic photo → generate → download (under 30 seconds)

Consistency Every product photo matches your brand style. Same lighting, same angles, same quality — automatically.

Step-by-Step: Creating Product Photos with AI

1. Take a Basic Reference Photo You don't need a studio. Use your smartphone: - Natural daylight (near a window) - Plain background (even a white sheet works) - Multiple angles if possible - Steady hand or tripod

2. Generate White Background Photos Amazon, eBay, and most marketplaces require pure white backgrounds.

  • . Go to White Background Generator
  • . Upload your product photo
  • . AI removes the background and places the product on pure white
  • . Download marketplace-ready images

3. Create Lifestyle Shots Show your product in context — without hiring models or renting locations.

  • . Go to Product Photo Generator
  • . Upload your product image
  • . Prompt: "Coffee mug on a cozy wooden desk, morning light, steam rising, minimalist Scandinavian interior"
  • . Generate multiple scenes for variety

4. Generate Product Mockups Perfect for print-on-demand, packaging design, and merch.

  • . Go to Product Mockup
  • . Upload your design
  • . Choose mockup type: t-shirt, mug, phone case, tote bag, packaging
  • . Download photorealistic mockups

Platform-Specific Requirements

Amazon - **Main image:** Pure white background (RGB 255,255,255), product fills 85% of frame - **Additional images:** Lifestyle, infographic, size comparison - **Min resolution:** 1000×1000px (2000×2000px recommended) - Use [white background generator](/editor/white-background) for main images - Use [product photo AI](/editor/product-photo) for lifestyle images

Shopify - Consistent aspect ratios across your store - Square images work best (1:1) - Mix white background and lifestyle shots - [Product mockups](/editor/product-mockup) for digital products

Etsy - First image is critical — lifestyle photos convert best - Show scale (product next to common objects) - Warm, artisanal aesthetic performs well - Use style prompts: "rustic, handmade feel, natural wood table, warm tones"

eBay - Similar to Amazon — clean backgrounds preferred - Multiple angles increase buyer confidence - Include detail/close-up shots

Advanced Techniques

A/B Testing Product Photos Generate multiple versions and test which converts better: - White background vs. lifestyle setting - Close-up vs. full product view - Warm lighting vs. cool, clinical lighting

Seasonal Updates Refresh your listings with seasonal contexts without reshooting: - "Product on a festive holiday table with candles and pine branches" - "Product at the beach, summer vibes, bright sunlight" - "Product in a cozy autumn setting with fallen leaves"

Batch Processing For catalogs with hundreds of products, process them systematically. Upload, apply the same prompt template, download.
