What is AI product photography?
AI product photography uses artificial intelligence to generate, enhance, or transform product images for e-commerce, advertising, and social media. This includes generating entirely new lifestyle product photos with AI personas, removing and replacing backgrounds, upscaling low-resolution images, and creating product-in-scene compositions. AI product photography dramatically reduces the cost, time, and complexity of traditional product photo shoots.
