Big retailers like Zara and H&M already use AI visuals. Now the same technology is available to resellers — leveling the playing field and letting you compete with polished, editorial-quality photos.

⚠️ 2025 Update: What You Can (and Can’t) Do with AI Photos

As of August 2025, platforms updated the rules for AI-generated human images. Here’s what resellers need to know:

❌ Not allowed:

Uploading real people’s photos (including your own) to turn into AI versions

Generating images of public figures

Creating hyper-realistic models that could pass as actual people

 

âś… Still allowed:

Stylized or editorial model shots

Faceless mannequins, hands, or silhouettes

Abstract or illustrative mockups

👉 Pro tip: Focus on style and fit, not identity. A faceless figure in a vintage blazer still sells the story — without crossing legal lines.

Why AI Photos Are a Game-Changer for Resellers

Save time: Skip photoshoots and endless editing.

Get professional results: Retail-quality visuals for every listing.

Stand out in search: Eye-catching photos = faster sales.

Stay competitive: If big brands use AI, resellers should too.

5 Tricks for Better AI-Generated Product Shots

1. Get specific with your prompts
Details matter. Mention fabric, color, fit, lighting, and background.
Example: “Woman wearing a fitted red tartan plaid wool jacket, studio lighting, white background.”

2. Use reference images
Upload your item photo if your tool allows. This ensures AI sticks to your actual design.

3. Highlight unique features
Buttons, collars, zippers, length — anything that makes your item stand out.

4. Test, tweak, repeat
AI improves with iteration. Try multiple prompt variations until you hit the right look.

5. Keep it focused
Too many conflicting details = confusion. Clear, consistent prompts create stronger results.

Common AI Photo Problems (and Fixes)

The plaid problem: AI often guesses patterns wrong.
👉 Solution: Specify the plaid type (tartan, gingham, Madras), color combos, and scale. Upload a reference photo if possible.

Brand/trademark issues:
👉 Never generate AI images with visible logos or branded designs. Marketplaces can ban accounts for violations.

Where Resellers Can Safely Use AI Photos

âś… Great for: basics, vintage, unbranded items, lifestyle mockups
⚠️ Use caution: luxury brands, logo-heavy products, or anything prone to counterfeits

The Bottom Line: Smarter Photos, Faster Sales

AI-generated modeled shots won’t replace your unique style or sourcing eye — but they can save you hours and make your listings more competitive.

The key is using AI strategically and legally.
