Silo Quality Requirements

Perfect product shots are the foundation of stunning AI-generated scenes. Follow these guidelines for optimal results.
Key Principle: The quality of your input directly affects your output. Invest in good product photography.

File Requirements

Accepted Formats

  • Standard: .jpg, .png, .webp
  • All common image types are supported
  • Transparency: PNG with alpha channel works perfectly
  • File size: Up to 50MB per image

Resolution Guidelines

Always provide the highest-resolution photos available. AI can’t add detail that isn’t there.

Background Options

White Background (Silo)

Traditional product photography with pure white background:
  • Advantages: Clean, consistent, professional
  • Best for: E-commerce, catalogs, batch processing
  • Tips: Ensure true white (#FFFFFF), not gray

Lifestyle Shots

Existing room scenes with your product:
  • Advantages: Can extract product with context
  • Process: AI automatically removes background
  • Use when: Silo shots unavailable
Background removal is automatic for both types - no manual masking needed!

3D Rendering Guidelines

Export Settings

When using 3D software, optimize your exports:
  • Minimum: 2K (2048×2048)
  • Recommended: 4K (4096×4096)
  • Maximum quality: 8K if available

Critical Canvas Placement Rules

The Permanent Position Principle

CRITICAL: Where you place the product on canvas is its FINAL position. This cannot be changed after generation.
1

Upload Product

Import your silo or lifestyle shot
2

Position Carefully

Place product where it should appear in final scene
3

Scale Appropriately

Size tells AI about floor level and perspective
4

Leave Space

Empty canvas space = room for AI to build scene

Common Positioning Mistakes

Pre-Generation Workflow

Accessorizing Before Generation

Rule: Add ALL accessories BEFORE clicking “Generate background”
  1. Position main product on canvas
  2. Select Accessorize tool
  3. Brush areas for each accessory
  4. Describe specifically what should appear
  5. Then generate complete scene

Brush Tool Technique

Size Guidance

  • Brush size hints accessory scale
  • Make slightly larger than intended
  • Overlap is better than gaps

Description Quality

  • Be specific and detailed
  • Include materials and colors
  • Describe positioning

Accessory Description Examples

Good: Good Descriptions:
  • “Sleeping brown Welsh Corgi wrapped in blue wool blanket”
  • “Large fiddle leaf fig in white ceramic planter with drainage tray”
  • “Stack of 5 hardcover books with neutral linen spines”
Avoid: Poor Descriptions:
  • “Brown dog”
  • “Plant”
  • “Books”

Photography Best Practices

Lighting Setup

  • Even lighting: Minimize harsh shadows
  • Neutral color: Avoid color casts
  • Multiple angles: Helps AI understand form
  • Consistent exposure: Across all shots

Product Preparation

  • Clean thoroughly: Dust and marks show
  • Steam/iron fabrics: Remove wrinkles
  • Check alignment: Straight lines, symmetry
  • Stage properly: Natural product position

Technical Tips
