Flat lay product photos with AI
A flat lay is a product shot from above on a styled surface. You describe that look in the caption, and the bot builds a studio picture around your item. It is a wish and not a fixed template, so the angle and layout may differ from what you imagined.

Make it in TelegramWhat the bot does with a flat lay wish
The bot reads the caption as a wish. Most of the time it gives a clean studio shot with the product from a high angle on a colored surface. Sometimes it picks a different angle or adds a different arrangement. The product itself stays as it is: shape, color and print. A rerun costs the same as the first run, so a few tries to land the layout is normal.
Surfaces and props
Name the surface in plain words: paper, marble, linen, wood. Name the light: soft, side, bright. Then name at most two or three props, such as leaves or a cup. More items in the caption make the result less predictable. If you need an exact arrangement of your own props, photograph the whole set with your phone and use the bot to clean the background and light.
Sets of several items
You can send up to 5 photos as an album, and the bot merges them into one image. That helps with a flat lay of a small set, such as a gift box with a few items. The merged result may place the items differently than you planned, so check the arrangement and rerun if one item is hidden. For catalog pages, make single-item pictures too.
Tips
- Shoot the original as flat as you can, so the bot sees the full shape of the item.
- Say "top-down view" and the surface color in the caption.
- Ask for few props. A crowded flat lay hides the product.
- Expect to rerun once or twice to get the angle you want.
- Keep the product itself in the middle of the original photo.
Questions and answers
Does the bot shoot a true top-down angle?
It tries to follow the wish, but the angle may vary. Rerun if it does not match.
Can I add my own props?
You can send several photos as an album. The merged result may arrange them differently.
Does the item change?
The item stays as it is. The surface, light and surroundings change.
Which shape does the picture have?
Vertical 3:4. Crop it in an editor if you need another shape.
What does a rerun cost?
A rerun is a new image at 2 credits, and new users have 15 free credits.
What the bot does not do
- Does not output a transparent PNG. The result is a finished 3:4 image with a background.
- Does not write listing copy, set prices or upload anything to your seller account.
- Does not guarantee exact marketplace pixel sizes: crop or resize the 3:4 image in any editor.
- Text on infographics is drawn by AI and can have letter errors in long phrases. Keep badges short and proofread.
