Generate a clean product photo with AI

Writes an image prompt for a studio-style product shot on a clean background, ready for a shop listing or social post.

Prompt, 3 blanks to fill
Write an image-generation prompt for a product photo.

Product (shape, material, colour, size): {{PRODUCT_DESCRIPTION}}
Background: {{BACKGROUND}}
Where the image will be used: {{USE}}

The prompt must specify: camera angle, framing, lighting setup, background, shadow, lens or photo style, and aspect ratio for the use.

Add a negative prompt for common product photo problems: warped shapes, extra parts, unreadable or fake text, reflections, props I did not ask for.

Then write 2 alternative angles (front-on and top-down) as separate prompts.

Example output

Studio product photo of a ceramic pour-over coffee dripper, white with a speckled glaze, centred, three-quarter view, soft box lighting, light grey paper backdrop, crisp shadow, 85mm lens. Negative: reflections of people, text, extra objects.

How to use

Describe the product as if to someone who has never seen it. If your tool supports image input, upload a real photo of the product as a reference for better accuracy.

Why it works

Photography terms such as lens, lighting and angle are well represented in image model training data, so they give predictable results. Calling out warped shapes and fake text in the negative prompt targets the most common failures.
