Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a real product bottle photo?
We recommend uploading a real photo of your product packaging as reference so the output keeps the accurate bottle shape, label text and brand colors.
Can both sub-styles be combined for the same product launch?
Yes, many skincare brands use the shelfie scene as the hero image and the ingredient macro shot for the selling-point section, building a complete narrative flow.
