How to create product listing images with AI

Allow approximately 35 minutes to study the lesson and complete the three built-in exercises. Assembling a complete listing for your own product independently will take another 1–2 hours.

How to create product listing images with AI

To create product listing images with AI, upload photos of the real product, plan your image set, and create a separate image for each purpose. Then check that AI has preserved the product's appearance and has not invented any specifications.

In the previous lesson on AI photoshoots, you created a series of photos while preserving a person's appearance. The same principle applies here: instead of facial features, you need to preserve the product's shape, color, packaging, logo, and construction.

You can change the background, lighting, camera angle, and surroundings. The product itself must match the original.

For our example, we'll use a fictional KOVA travel mug: a sage-green stainless steel body, a black lid with a drinking valve, and a capacity of 450 ml. The mug is 20 cm tall, with a base width of 7 cm. The package contains the mug and a kraft cardboard box with the logo.

We'll turn a source photo taken on a kitchen table into six images.

AI can create visually consistent images, but it sometimes changes the lid, distorts the logo, or makes mistakes in text. Compare every generated image with the original photo.

What images should a product listing include?

Buyers first see the main image alongside other products. After opening the listing, they look through additional images to check the specifications, dimensions, and package contents.

Each slide needs a distinct purpose.

Slide	What to show	Purpose
1. Main photo	The entire product, without distractions	Recognize the product in search results
2. Benefits	The product with short labels	See verified features
3. Dimensions	Measurements and scale	Understand the actual size
4. In use	The product in a suitable situation	Understand its intended use
5. Details	Material and construction features	Examine specific details
6. Package contents	Everything included in the order	Understand what's in the package

This is a suggested order for the lesson. For clothing, it may be more useful to show the fit and fabric earlier. For electronics, show the controls. For a dinnerware set, show all included pieces.

Use the first few additional slides for the information that matters most when choosing that particular product. For a travel mug, that's its capacity and lid design.

If five images are enough, don't create a sixth image that repeats information already shown.

What should the main image show?

The main photo should make it clear what product is being sold and what it looks like.

Show the product at a large size, usually without a complicated setting. In our practice example, it occupies approximately 60–80% of the image height.

Check the main image at thumbnail size. This is often how buyers see it in search results.

If the silhouette is hard to distinguish, details blend together, or text becomes unreadable, simplify the composition.

Prepare your source photos

A text description alone isn't enough for a listing of a real product. An AI model can draw a similar item, but it won't know the exact shape of the lid, button placement, or label design.

Take photos of the product with your phone.

1. Place the product near a window with diffused daylight.
2. Choose a solid background that makes the product's edges easy to see.
3. Take 3–5 shots: front, three-quarter angle, side, a separate detail shot, and the label.
4. Avoid filters, strong glare, and objects that block the product.
5. Check that the photos are sharp and any markings are readable.

For clothing, also photograph the back and take a close-up of the fabric. For electronics, photograph the control panel and ports. For product sets, photograph every item included in the package.

Keep the originals. If the background gets in the way, you can remove it using the background removal template.

Use the most suitable source photo for each slide. A close-up of the lid is better generated from a separate photo of the lid than from a full product shot where the mechanism is barely visible.

Plan your product listing with Mia

Before generating images, gather the facts: product name, color, material, dimensions, design features, and what's included in the package.

In the lesson on writing with AI, you worked with AI using your own information. Now apply that skill to planning images and short captions.

Don't ask the model to determine product specifications on its own. As you learned in the lesson on checking AI responses, AI can confidently present invented information as fact.

Hands-on exercise: plan six slides

Open the free Mia AI chat. Prepare the details of your product and complete the exercise.

The result should be a table showing the purpose of each slide, a description of the shot, and the infographic text.

Check that the model hasn't added unverified claims, such as how long the product keeps drinks hot, whether it's leakproof, or certifications you haven't provided.

If you don't have enough information, change the slide's content. Instead of claiming an unverified benefit, show a real design detail.

We won't write an SEO product description or a search-friendly product title here. That's a separate task covered in lesson 03.

Create the main product photo

For the first image, we'll use a vertical 3:4 aspect ratio, a light background, and soft lighting.

You already learned how to upload a photo and choose a model and image quality in lesson 07. Here, we'll focus on keeping the product accurate.

The second prompt specifies what can change and what must stay the same.

Hands-on exercise: main product photo

Upload an original photo of your own product and start the generation.

Compare the result with the source image. Check the silhouette, color, number of components, construction, and branding.

If the model changes an important part of the product, generate the image again with a more specific constraint or use a better source photo.

Create two cover image variations

You can try different layouts for the main product photo without changing the product itself.

Start with two variations:

• A: Plain light background, product centered.
• B: Neutral background with a soft shadow, product slightly off-center for better composition.

Keep the camera angle and product scale consistent. This will help you evaluate the effect of the layout.

View both images as small thumbnails. Compare which one makes the product's shape, color, and details easier to see.

This is a visual readability check, not a full sales A/B test. To measure how a cover image affects orders, you need impression and buyer behavior data collected under comparable conditions.

If your marketplace offers testing tools, you can compare cover images using real traffic. A more attractive design doesn't automatically lead to more orders.

How to create a consistent series of slides

For the remaining images, use the approach from lesson 09: keep the product and style instructions consistent, then change the part of the prompt that describes each slide.

Reusable part of the prompt

Use the original product photo as an exact reference. Preserve the shape, proportions, color, material, construction, label, and logo. Light, neutral color palette, soft natural lighting, realistic shadows. Consistent product photography style. Do not add nonexistent details or product features. Vertical 3:4 aspect ratio.

Add the instructions for the specific slide.

Product in use

Show the original KOVA travel mug held by an adult on an autumn city street. The hand should grip the body naturally without covering the logo. The mug is 20 cm tall; keep its size realistic relative to the person's hand. Show only the hand and part of the sleeve, with no face visible. Blurred urban background, soft daylight. Do not change the lid, drinking valve, or body shape.

Check the finger positions, mug scale, and lid construction.

Product in a lifestyle setting

Place the original product on a wooden kitchen countertop. Show a bright kitchen in the background. The entire product must be visible and remain the main subject. Slightly blurred background, natural lighting. Do not add accessories that could appear to be included with the product.

For another product, choose a setting that fits its purpose: put a lamp on a desk or a pillow on a sofa.

Close-up of a product detail

Use a separate photo of the KOVA travel mug's black lid. Create a close-up of the upper section with the rotating drinking valve, viewed from above at a 45-degree angle. Preserve the exact number, shape, and position of all components. Soft side lighting should highlight the plastic texture. The lower part of the mug extends beyond the bottom edge of the frame. Do not invent hidden components or additional buttons.

The model shouldn't guess how a component is built. For an accurate close-up, upload a photo of the specific detail.

What's included in the package

First, photograph everything included in the order and compare the photos with the packing list. For a bundle, use real photos of each included item.

Then ask AI to arrange the items so buyers can see them separately.

The KOVA package includes the travel mug and a kraft cardboard box with the logo.

Use the uploaded original photos of the KOVA travel mug and its kraft cardboard box. Preserve the shape, dimensions, color, material, lid, and logos without any changes. Arrange only two items neatly on a light beige-gray background: the travel mug standing on the left and a simple kraft cardboard box with a small KOVA logo lying on the right. Slightly elevated camera angle, soft studio lighting, realistic shadows. Do not add accessories, drinks, instructions, plants, or any other objects. Vertical 3:4 aspect ratio.

If you're selling a bundle, don't generate items that aren't included. Buyers should see exactly what they'll receive.

How to use a competitor's design as inspiration

You can study another seller's product listing to understand its composition: product placement, empty space for text, color palette, and the order of visual elements.

Don't copy someone else's entire listing image, logo, or photos without the necessary rights.

Describe the design approach you like in your own words:

Light background, product positioned on the left, empty space on the right for product specifications. Large text blocks, restrained color palette, consistent spacing.

Use your own product photos and text.

You already learned about the different roles of reference images in the lesson on AI photo prompts. Here, the source photo defines the product's appearance, while the design example provides guidance only for composition and style.

How to show accurate product dimensions

You can use a separate slide to display product dimensions or show the product next to another object for scale.

For KOVA, we'll use a height of 20 cm and a base width of 7 cm. A vertical dimension line shows the height, while a horizontal line beneath the base shows the width.

Example prompt:

Use the original photo of the KOVA travel mug. Preserve its appearance without changes. Position the mug upright in the center against a light beige-gray background, viewed directly from the front. Add a thin dark-green vertical dimension line on the right with the exact label “20 cm” and a horizontal line beneath the base labeled “7 cm”. Large sans-serif font, soft studio lighting. Do not add any other text or objects. Vertical 3:4 aspect ratio.

For your own product, enter its actual measurements. AI cannot reliably determine dimensions from an ordinary photo.

If the model makes mistakes in the numbers or dimension lines, add them manually over the source image in a graphic editor.

When comparing a product with a hand, table, or furniture, check the proportions. An AI-generated scene may make the product look larger than it really is.

How to create product infographics with AI

A product infographic combines an image of the product with short labels describing its features.

Three or four key points are enough for one slide. Use large, high-contrast text and leave space between the labels and the product.

Our KOVA example uses three labels:

• “450 mL”
• “Lid with drinking valve”
• “Stainless steel”

These specifications describe a fictional travel mug used in this lesson. For your own product, use verified information.

There are two ways to create an infographic.

Method	Advantage	Limitation
AI generates the text	Image and labels are created together	Letters and numbers may contain errors
Text is added separately	You can control the exact wording and fonts	Requires a graphic editor

Generate the image and text together

You can try GPT Image 2.6 Flare or Nano Banana Pro for this.

Prompt for KOVA:

Use the original photo of the KOVA travel mug. Preserve the sage-green body, matte finish, black lid with its drinking valve, and logo without any changes. Create a 3:4 infographic on a light beige-gray background. Position the travel mug on the left and add three labels on the right: “450 mL”, “Lid with drinking valve”, and “Stainless steel”. Reproduce the text exactly, without adding extra words. Large dark-green sans-serif font, thin callout lines, clean spacing. Do not place text over the product.

Check every letter, symbol, and unit of measurement. Even a model that's good at generating text can make spelling or number errors.

Hands-on exercise: add three labels

Prepare three verified specifications for your own product.

Compare the generated image with the original and check the labels.

If the text is distorted, use the second method.

Generate the background with AI and add text separately

Create an image with space for text:

Preserve the original product without changes. Position it on the left against a light background. Leave clean, empty space on the right for three text blocks. Vertical 3:4 aspect ratio. Do not add letters, numbers, icons, or decorative label boxes.

Open the result in Canva, Figma, or another graphic editor and enter the specifications manually.

This method works well for dimension diagrams, long material names, and product listings that use consistent typography.

Product listing prompt builder

Choose the slide's purpose, background, lighting, and camera angle. The prompt builder will combine your choices into a prompt that includes instructions to preserve the product's appearance.

Use the generated prompt with your original product photo.

If the image doesn't turn out as expected, change one parameter and try again. You already practiced this approach in lesson 09.

Common problems with AI product listing images

Problem	Cause	Solution
The shape, lid, or body has changed	The model recreated the product	Upload a clear original photo and make the preservation instructions more specific
Extra hands or objects appear	The scene contents weren't defined	Specify which objects are allowed
Product scale looks wrong relative to its surroundings	The model doesn't know the dimensions	Provide actual measurements
Text is distorted	Text generation error	Add the text separately
The logo is distorted	The model redrew the branding	Use the original logo element
The background distracts from the product	Too many bright details	Simplify the background
All slides look the same	The slides don't have distinct purposes	Revise the product listing plan
The model refuses to generate an image	The request may violate the model's rules	Review potentially restricted elements and rephrase the request as a permitted task

If the model keeps changing your product after several attempts, stop trying to regenerate the entire product.

Alternative method:

1. Remove the background from the original photo while keeping the product intact.
2. Ask AI to generate only the background, without the product.
3. Combine the original product photo with the new background in a graphic editor.
4. Add a realistic shadow and check the scale.

This keeps the product authentic while AI handles only the surroundings.

If the model refuses a request, don't try to bypass moderation. Check your rights to the source materials and review the prompt's content.

Independent exercise: create images for your own product listing

Now prepare a complete set of 5–6 images. Use your own product or an item you can photograph and measure.

To show what's included in the package, use photos of every item in the order. If AI consistently changes the product, use the original photo with an edited background.

The goal is an accurate product listing, not the highest possible number of generations.

Check your product listing images before publishing

Save the images in a separate folder in the order buyers should view them: main photo, benefits, dimensions, product in use, details, and package contents.

View the files as small thumbnails, similar to how they'll appear on a phone screen. Check sharpness and text placement.

Test your knowledge

Four scenarios will help you check whether you can choose the right actions when preparing product listing images.

Image requirements for Wildberries, Ozon, Yandex Market, and Avito

Wildberries, Ozon, Yandex Market, and Avito are major Russian online marketplaces. The requirements below are based on their seller help documentation as of November 2026. Before uploading images, check the latest rules for your marketplace and product category.

Marketplace	Formats and limits	Main image and presentation
Wildberries	JPG, PNG, WEBP; up to 10 MB; up to 30 photos; minimum resolution of 700×900 pixels	Show the entire product on a neutral background, without packaging; infographics and text on the cover image can lower the listing's rating
Yandex Market	JPG, JPEG, PNG, HEIC, WEBP; up to 10 MB; minimum resolution of 200×200 pixels; shoppers see images in a 3:4 aspect ratio	White or transparent background; the product must occupy at least two-thirds of the frame
Ozon	Vertical 3:4 aspect ratio; check other limits in your seller dashboard	Infographics are allowed; watermarks are prohibited
Avito	Check technical specifications in the marketplace's help documentation	Show the actual product and its real condition

Wildberries requirements

Wildberries prohibits prices, discounts, QR codes, contact information, watermarks, and promotional words such as “bestseller” on product images.

Infographics and text on the main image are not prohibited, but they can lower the listing's rating. A clean product image is therefore a better choice for the cover.

Wildberries also warns that poorly generated AI photos can lower a listing's rating. Images should look realistic.

You can upload one video in MP4 or MOV format, up to 3 minutes long and 50 MB in size.

Yandex Market requirements

The main image must show the product against a white or transparent background. The product must occupy at least two-thirds of the frame.

Yandex Market allows realistic illustrations but prohibits watermarks, prices, and store logos. A brand logo on the product itself is allowed.

You can add up to six videos, each up to 100 MB.

Ozon requirements

Product photos use a vertical 3:4 aspect ratio. Infographics are allowed, but watermarks are prohibited.

Check your seller dashboard for the latest requirements on image resolution, file size, and number of images.

Avito requirements

On Avito, buyers often assess the condition of the specific item being sold, especially when it is used.

For these listings, real photos should show signs of wear, defects, included items, and product labels.

You can use AI to edit the background as long as the result does not hide damage or misrepresent the item's condition.

Do not make a used item look brand-new and free of defects.

If you sell on Amazon, eBay, or Etsy, check the image requirements in their seller help.

Tools for creating product listing images

You can combine several tools to create a product listing.

Tool	What to use it for
Nano Banana, GPT Image, and Flux AI models	Generate product photos and change backgrounds or surroundings
AI chat	Plan slides and write short captions
Canva, Figma, or another editor	Add accurate text and dimension lines, and arrange the layout
Dedicated product listing tools	Create image sets from templates or automatically
Neuromia	Generate individual images, use templates, and build a series of slides

The right tool depends on the task. For a single image, an image generator is enough. For a series of images with different purposes, you need a plan. A graphic editor gives you better control over exact text.

How to create product listing images in Neuromia

Neuromia offers three options: the image editor, the “Product Listing” tool, and ready-made templates.

Method	When to choose it	Result
Image editor	You want control over every prompt	Individual images
Product Listing	You want to create a series in one workflow	Up to six slides per run
Templates	You need one image with a preset layout	One image

Image editor

Open the image editor, upload the original photo, and choose a model, aspect ratio, and image quality: 1K, 2K, or 4K.

The 1K, 2K, and 4K labels indicate the approximate length of the image's longer side: around 1,000, 2,000, and 4,000 pixels, respectively. Exact dimensions depend on the aspect ratio and model settings.

The cost appears before you start generation.

The editor makes it easy to compare prompts, fix individual images, and choose different models for product photography and infographics.

Product Listing tool

Open the marketplace product listing page and go to your account.

Follow these steps:

1. Upload a product photo and, if needed, your own background image.
2. Choose “Template,” “Auto,” or “Manual” mode.
3. Set the product listing parameters.
4. Create up to six slides in one run.
5. Check the product's shape, text, and content in every image.

“Template” uses a ready-made style. In “Auto” mode, AI distributes the content across slides. “Manual” lets you write a separate prompt for each image.

The tool supports marketplace image dimensions. The AI model renders the infographic text, so you need to check it carefully.

Ready-made templates

If you only need one image, choose a suitable template:

• “Universal: white” — a neutral product background.
• “Beauty: minimal” — beauty products.
• “Fashion: studio” — clothing.
• “Home: cosy” — home goods.
• “Tech: neon” — electronic devices.
• “Universal: gift” — gift-themed styling.

A template handles one image. For a complete six-slide set, you still need a plan and a final review.

How much does a six-slide set cost?

The cost depends on the method you choose and how many attempts you make. For comparison, let's calculate six generations without retries.

Image editor

Model	One image, 1K	Six images, 1K
Flux 3 Klein	1.76 credits	10.56 credits
Nano Banana	4.4 credits	26.4 credits
Nano Banana 2.1	4.4 credits	26.4 credits
Flux 2 Pro	5.5 credits	33 credits
Flux Kontext	5.5 credits	33 credits
GPT Image 2.5	6.6 credits	39.6 credits
Nano Banana 2	8.8 credits	52.8 credits
Nano Banana Pro	19.8 credits	118.8 credits

Six GPT Image 2.5 images at 2K quality cost 66 credits.

Product Listing tool

Quality	One slide	Six slides
Standard	10 credits	60 credits
Premium, 1K/2K	30 credits	180 credits
Premium, 4K	40 credits	240 credits

Additional image processing costs extra.

Upscaling increases image resolution. Neuromia offers Recraft and Topaz tools for this.

Background removal costs 1.1 credits per image, Recraft upscaling costs 0.55 credits, and Topaz costs 11 credits.

For example, six Nano Banana images at 4.4 credits each, plus one background removal at 1.1 credits, cost 27.5 credits.

Retries increase the total cost. The smallest Neuromia credit package costs 99 ₽.

Seasonal and themed variations

For a promotion or seasonal collection, you can change the product's surroundings without rebuilding the entire listing.

For the KOVA travel mug, an autumn street with soft daylight would work well. A gift set could use subtle holiday decorations.

Example prompt:

Use the original photo of the KOVA travel mug. Preserve its shape, sage-green body, black lid with a drinking valve, matte finish, and logo exactly as they are. Create an autumn-themed setting with warm lighting and subtle seasonal details in the background. Keep the product as the main subject. Do not add text about discounts, gifts, or new product features.

Do not present seasonal props as items included with the product.

Finish the main product listing first. Then, if needed, create a seasonal cover image to compare with the original.

Ready-to-use prompts for different product categories

Below are additional prompts for specific product categories. Use them with your original product photos.

Frequently asked questions

Can I create product listing images with AI for free?

You can plan your slides and write infographic text for free in the Mia AI chat. Image generation in Neuromia costs credits. The smallest credit package costs 99 ₽.

Other services may offer free modes with limitations. Check their terms separately.

Which AI model is best for product listing images?

The best choice depends on your source photo and the task. For product photography, you can compare Nano Banana, Nano Banana 2.1, GPT Image 2.6 Flare, and Flux models.

For infographics with short text labels, try GPT Image 2.6 Flare or Nano Banana Pro. Check the accuracy of the product and text, not just the visual design.

Can I create product listing images without a photo?

AI can generate a product image from a text description, but it cannot guarantee that the result will match the real product.

For actual sales, use your own photographs or original images you have permission to use. Generating an image without a source photo works for concept designs, but it does not verify the specifications of the product being sold.

How do I create product infographics with AI?

Prepare 2–4 short labels based on verified product specifications. Upload the product photo and include the exact text in quotation marks.

If the model makes mistakes in letters or numbers, generate an image with empty space for the text and add the labels in a graphic editor.

What prompt should I use for product listing images?

Start by instructing the model to preserve the product's shape, proportions, color, material, label, and logo. Then describe the slide's purpose, background, lighting, and camera angle.

For a series, keep the core instructions consistent and change the content of each image. For more on prompt structure, see the AI photo prompts lesson.

Do online marketplaces allow AI-generated product images?

Rules vary by marketplace and product category. Images must accurately represent the product and comply with the marketplace's listing requirements.

Wildberries specifically warns that poorly generated AI photos can lower a listing's rating. Yandex Market allows realistic illustrations. Always check the latest rules of your chosen marketplace before publishing.

What image format and size do Wildberries and Ozon require?

According to Wildberries seller documentation as of November 2026, supported formats are JPG, PNG, and WEBP, with a maximum file size of 10 MB and a minimum resolution of 700×900 pixels.

Ozon uses a vertical 3:4 aspect ratio. Check the seller dashboard for its other technical requirements. Review both marketplaces' latest documentation before uploading.

What to learn next

Your set of static product listing images is ready. The next step is a short video that shows the product moving or being used.

In Lesson 11, “How to generate AI videos from text,” you'll move on to the Video level and learn to control movement within a shot. You can use the main product photo from this lesson for your first hands-on exercise.
