Question 1

What is ppl.studio?

Accepted Answer

ppl.studio is an AI-powered UGC studio. You create AI experts with consistent faces, upload your real products, and generate authentic-looking user-generated content photos in about 60 seconds. It replaces expensive creator shoots and slow production timelines.

Question 2

How does AI UGC work?

Accepted Answer

You pick or create an AI expert (a virtual person with a stable face identity), upload your product photos to the props library, describe the scene you want, and ppl.studio generates a realistic photo of that expert using your product. The AI handles lighting, poses, and composition automatically.

Question 3

Is it free to try?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You get 5 free photos when you sign up — no credit card required. Create an account, add an AI expert and your products, and generate your first UGC photos right away.

Question 4

Do I need design skills to use ppl.studio?

Accepted Answer

No. ppl.studio is built for marketers, brand owners, and e-commerce sellers — not designers. You describe what you want in plain language and the AI handles the rest. No Photoshop, no camera, no studio setup.

Question 5

What types of products work best with AI UGC?

Accepted Answer

Physical consumer products work best — skincare, supplements, food and beverage, apparel, electronics, home goods, and beauty products. Anything you can photograph and upload to the props library can be placed into generated scenes.

Question 6

What are AI experts?

Accepted Answer

AI experts are virtual people with stable, consistent face identities. Once you create an expert, you can use them across hundreds of different scenes and their face stays the same. Think of them as your on-demand UGC creators.

Question 7

Can I create custom AI experts?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can generate new experts with specific characteristics — age range, gender, ethnicity, style, and more. Each expert maintains full face consistency across every photo you generate with them.

Question 8

Are the faces consistent across different photos?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Face consistency is the core feature of ppl.studio. Use the same expert across product shots, lifestyle scenes, and testimonial formats and they look like the same person every time.

Question 9

Can I use AI experts in commercial campaigns?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every image you generate is yours to use however you want — ads, social media, product listings, packaging, websites. No licensing fees and no usage restrictions.

Question 10

How realistic are the AI-generated faces?

Accepted Answer

Very realistic. ppl.studio uses advanced image generation models that produce natural lighting, authentic poses, and lifelike expressions. Most viewers cannot tell the difference between AI-generated UGC and real creator content.

Question 11

How do I upload my products?

Accepted Answer

Go to the Props section in your dashboard. Upload product images and the system automatically removes backgrounds and prepares them for use in scenes. You can organize products into collections for faster access.

Question 12

What file formats are supported for product uploads?

Accepted Answer

ppl.studio accepts PNG, JPG, JPEG, and WebP files. For best results, use high-resolution images with clean backgrounds. The system handles background removal automatically.

Question 13

Can I control the scene and setting?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You describe the scene in the prompt — location, lighting, mood, pose, camera angle. You can also use scene presets for common setups like kitchen counter, outdoor cafe, gym, or studio backdrop.

Question 14

How many photos can I generate?

Accepted Answer

There is no hard limit on photo generation. With a paid plan, you can generate as many images as you need. Generation uses your own API key so costs scale with your usage.

Question 15

What resolution are the generated photos?

Accepted Answer

Generated photos are high-resolution and suitable for ads, social media, and e-commerce listings. Output resolution depends on the model you select in workbench settings.

Question 16

What are storyboards?

Accepted Answer

Storyboards let you plan multi-frame content sequences — think ad scripts, carousel posts, or before-and-after flows. Set up the frames, assign experts and props, and generate the full sequence at once.

Question 17

What is Animate?

Accepted Answer

Animate turns your static AI photos into short video clips. The latest version supports lip-synced speech — paste a script and your AI expert speaks it with natural mouth movements.

Question 18

What is the props library?

Accepted Answer

The props library is where you store and manage your product images. Upload once and your products are available in every scene you generate. The system handles background removal, tagging, and multi-angle support.

Question 19

Can I use ppl.studio content on multiple platforms?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can export photos formatted for Amazon, Etsy, Shopify, TikTok Shop, Instagram, and more. Each platform gets the correct aspect ratio and file specifications.

Do you offer an API?

Accepted Answer

API access is on the roadmap. If you need programmatic access for high-volume generation, reach out to hello@ppl.studio and we can discuss early access options.

Question 21

How much does ppl.studio cost?

Accepted Answer

ppl.studio is $1.99 per week. Image generation runs on your own API key so generation costs stay under your control. There are no hidden fees or per-image charges from ppl.studio itself.

Yes. Cancel anytime from your account settings. There is no minimum term and no lock-in. Your access continues until the end of the current billing period.
