The Product Image Tools within the Shopify integration allow merchants to transform standard store thumbnails into high-quality, professional marketing assets using AI. This process is managed through the Shopify Dashboard and the Generated Images gallery.

Generating professional product images

The generation process leverages the Gemini image generation model to create studio-quality visuals, including “virtual try-ons” for wearables or “product placement” in realistic scenes.

1) Select your product

Navigate to the Products page, which displays your synced Shopify catalog.

2) Initiate generation

Browse your catalog and select a specific product. The AI uses the existing Shopify product details and thumbnails as context for the new generation.

3) Real-time feedback

  • While the AI generates, you will see a loading indicator on the dashboard.
  • If you have insufficient credits, the system returns an error before generation begins.
    • 1 credit = 1 image

4) Review results

Once complete, the new images are added to your Generated Images gallery, which displays up to 50 images per page in a grid layout.

Customising & refining generations

If the initial result isn’t perfect, use Edit & Regenerate:
  • Open the image card in the gallery and describe specific changes (for example, “make the lighting warmer” or “change to a tech startup style”).
  • The AI generates a new variation while keeping the original product intact.

Downloading images for store use

After generating your professional assets, you can export them to your device for use on your Shopify storefront, social media, or advertisements.

1) Open the image details modal

Click any image in the gallery. The modal displays metadata including:
  • AI model used
  • Prompt instruction
  • Aspect ratio

2) Download to device

Click Download in the modal.

3) Saving process

The image typically opens in a new tab, allowing you to save it directly to your device.

4) File management

Each download is automatically named according to your product name (for example, product_name-index.jpg) for easier organisation.

Analogy for product image tools (Virtual photo studio)

Think of this system as a virtual photo studio:
  • Your Shopify thumbnails are like the raw products sitting in a crate.
  • The AI acts as both the photographer and the set designer, instantly placing your product into a professional studio with perfect lighting and backgrounds.
  • Once the “photo shoot” is over, downloading the image is like picking up your high-resolution prints from the developer—ready to be displayed in your shop window.
