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.
Minimum | Recommended | Optimal |
---|---|---|
1000×1000px | 2000×2000px | 4000×4000px+ |
Web-only use | Standard quality | Print & zoom |
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
Mistake | Result | Solution |
---|---|---|
Product fills canvas | No room for scene | Scale down, reposition |
Floating placement | Unrealistic scenes | Lower to establish floor |
Edge placement | Cropped results | Center with margin |
Wrong scale | Proportion issues | Reference real-world size |
Pre-Generation Workflow
Accessorizing Before Generation
Rule: Add ALL accessories BEFORE clicking “Generate background”
- Position main product on canvas
- Select Accessorize tool
- Brush areas for each accessory
- Describe specifically what should appear
- 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”
- “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
