Image Studio: Edit, Brand and Generate Product Photos
Free local editing tools for every product photo, plus AI-generated scenes, A/B variants, social posts and SEO metadata — billed only where they use a paid AI model.
Overview
Open Image Studio from any product's photo grid (click the palette icon above the images, or Open Image Studio on the product edit page). It has two kinds of tools:
- Free, unlimited, local tools — enhance, watermark, remove background, shadow, brand kit, seasonal styling, recolor, infographic overlay, resize pack, and a short video ad. None of these call a paid AI model, so none of them cost anything or draw down any credit.
- Paid AI tools — scene-generate and A/B variants (both backed by an AI image model), billed from your prepaid AI Photo Studio credit. Everything else in Image Studio, including the two below, has its own separate rule — see each one.
The free local tools
Pick a tool from the Image Studio panel and apply it to the image you have open. Common ones:
- Watermark — stamps your logo onto the photo at a position and opacity you choose.
- Remove background, shadow, recolor, seasonal — straightforward image edits, applied instantly.
- Brand kit — applies your stored brand colors/type to a generated graphic.
- Resize pack — exports the image at the standard sizes your storefront and marketplaces need, in one step.
- Video ad — a short, Ken-Burns-style zoom video built from a still photo with your text overlaid. Not AI-generated video — a real rendered clip from your own image.
Scene-generate and A/B variants (paid)
These two put your product into a new, AI-generated setting (a lifestyle scene) or produce variant crops/compositions to A/B test. Each generation draws from your AI Photo Studio credit balance — check it, and top it up, at Settings → AI Photo Studio. The price per generation is the platform's estimated model cost plus a margin the platform sets (visible to platform staff at Admin → AI Photo Studio pricing); you always see the price before it's charged. With no credit, generation is refused rather than queued.
Social post generator
Composes a shareable social-media graphic from a product photo plus your branding — a caption-ready image sized for the socials you post to. This is a free local tool, not billed from your AI Photo Studio credit.
SEO metadata tool
Generates a suggested title, alt text and description for a product image, to help it get found in search and comply with accessibility rules. Each store gets a free daily quota; calls beyond that quota are billed per call at a platform-set price (an admin-controlled overage, separate from the free quota — set at Admin → AI Photo Studio pricing). You're shown the price before any call that would go past your free quota.
Good to know
- Credit for scene-generate/A/B-variants and the SEO metadata overage share the same prepaid wallet (Settings → AI Photo Studio) but are priced separately — topping up covers both.
- None of the free local tools ever need credit, no matter how many times you use them.
