AI product photography: professional product photos from your phone

How to do it on Pludor

1. Open AI Studio: From your store dashboard, or pludor.com/ai on your phone.
2. Upload the product photo: Choose Image mode or a preset like Hero shot or Flat lay.
3. Refine in plain words: "Brighter", "wooden table", "square for Instagram".
4. Attach it to the product: Save to your media library or straight onto the listing.

Can AI really make professional product photos from just a phone picture?

Yes, as long as your phone photo is sharp and well lit. The AI keeps your actual product from the photo and replaces the background, lighting and setting - a white studio shot, a flat lay or a lifestyle scene. Blurry or dark input gives weak output, so start with the best photo you can take.

How much does AI product photography cost?

On Pludor, every store gets 20 AI photos free each month, and new stores start with 500 free credits; after that you pay in credits where 1 credit equals 1 cent. There's also a free photo tool you can try without an account, with 3 runs an hour. So you can test it before spending anything.

How do I turn my product photo into a white background shot for Amazon?

Upload a clear photo of your product and use a clean-background preset - Amazon's main image needs a pure white background with the product filling most of the frame. On Pludor, AI Studio's clean-background preset does this, and the background remover can also strip the original background. Download the result and check Amazon's current seller guidelines before uploading.

Will the AI change how my product looks?

The AI keeps the product from your photo and only changes the scene, lighting and background. Still, always check the result matches the real item before publishing - AI images must represent the real product honestly. Also photograph each color separately rather than asking AI to recolor a product you don't actually sell in that color.

What kind of product photo should I use for social media versus my store listing?

Use a clean white or light background shot as your main product image on your store and marketplaces. For social posts and ads, use a lifestyle scene or flat lay that shows the product in use. For launches and promotions, a hero shot with dramatic lighting works well - and you can turn that into a spin video with a product video tool.

Is there a free tool to remove the background from product photos?

Yes, Pludor's AI Studio includes a background remover, an upscaler and a photo enhancer, and the free AI product photo tool works without an account (3 runs an hour). The background remover can also place your product on a clean color or in a generated scene. This replaces paying for a separate background-removal app.

Can I use AI-generated product photos on Amazon and Etsy?

You can download the photos, but each marketplace has its own rules - Amazon main images need a pure white background, while Etsy favors natural, lifestyle-feeling shots that stay clear at small thumbnail size. Check the current seller guidelines for each platform. The key rule everywhere: the image must honestly show the real product.

What's the best way to photograph my product before using AI on it?

Take a sharp, well-lit phone photo of the real product - output quality depends entirely on input quality. Photograph each color variant separately, and keep sizes honest so a lifestyle scene doesn't make the product look bigger than it is. A clean-background shot works best as your main image, with a lifestyle scene as the second.

How is this different from using Midjourney or Leonardo AI for product shots?

General image generators create images from text, but they don't keep your exact product or connect to your store. Pludor's AI Studio works from your actual product photo, keeps the product true, and saves results straight to your product listing, media library and connected social accounts. Pludor also has comparison pages covering Midjourney and Leonardo AI if you want the details.
