A better result starts with a better product photo.

A simple checklist for light, framing, and garment details before your first upload.

A better result starts with a better product photo.
01

Give the garment room

Lay the piece flat or photograph it on a model or mannequin without cutting off hems, cuffs, or sleeves. Leave a little space around the silhouette. If a detail is hidden in the source, the generated image may have to invent it.

02

Keep your light simple

Use even, indirect daylight or a soft studio light. Avoid mixing warm indoor lights with daylight. Strong shadows can obscure seams and make the garment color harder to judge.

03

Show what makes it yours

Include a clear view of patterns, fastenings, pockets, and labels. For complex garments, add useful alternate views rather than several nearly identical photos.

04

Review before you publish

Compare the output with the original. Look closely at the neckline, sleeves, logos, pattern alignment, and hem. AI can change details; the final approval should always be yours.

Keep exploring.
