Why use templates for ecommerce product photos with AI?
A single product page often needs eight or more images, and each one has a different job. A generic prompt such as "nice product photo" gives you one pretty picture. It won't give you a size chart, a what's-in-the-box shot, or a comparison that holds up.
Each GenTidy template states:
- The job of the image, for example "make the product understood at first glance" or "help shoppers pick the right size".
- The fields to fill: audience, topic, copy, product, plus the fields that template needs, such as specs, steps or offer details.
- Guardrails against invented facts. The templates for specs, certifications, reviews, comparisons and promotions tell the model to use only what you provide. They must not make up badges, numbers, star ratings or competitor claims.
- A product realism rule. The background can be a watercolor, a doodle or a 3D clay set, but the product itself stays photorealistic so shoppers see what they'll actually get.
How to use a template
- Pick the template for the image you need (see the table below).
- Copy the prompt and replace each
{field}with your product details. Leave a field empty and the model will infer it from your product info and reference image. - Add a reference photo of your product if you have one. It helps the model keep the shape, color and logo accurate.
- Choose a style in the web tool, or keep it clean and photographic.
- Generate in the , or in GenTidy for Mac (public build coming soon). You can also paste the prompt into any image model you already use.
Tip: generate the main image (EC-001) first, then reuse it as the reference image for the other templates. Your product will look consistent across the whole listing.

A worked example
Here is EC-005 (Key Selling Points) filled in for a fictional product:
Ecommerce selling-point callout image. Goal: quickly communicate the most important reasons to buy. Audience: home baristas who make coffee every morning. Topic: a pour-over dripper that is easy to clean. Copy: "Brew. Rinse. Done." Product: matte black ceramic pour-over dripper, size 02. Key selling points: dishwasher-safe ceramic; spiral ribs for even flow; fits most mugs. Priority: easy cleaning first. Design the callouts and hierarchy. Keep the product photorealistic.
Only list selling points that are true for your product. The model will lay them out, but it can't check them for you.
Good to know
- Prompts are adapted from the original Chinese templates. The source library is written in Chinese, and these English versions keep the same structure and guardrails.
- Output size depends on the model. Your chosen aspect ratio guides the composition. The final pixel size is whatever the model returns.
- Text in images: check product names, numbers and prices before you publish. AI models can still misspell text.
- Marketplace rules: many marketplaces have their own main-image rules, such as a white background. Check your platform's guidelines before you upload.
Layouts and style references are adapted from handraw-style by yang0 (MIT license, attribution required).
