Cliclic AI Image Editor tool

AI is changing product photography. Here’s how you can leverage AI to generate marketing assets that build your brand and sell your products.

Professional photoshoots are expensive. They can cost thousands or tens of thousands of dollars. Or you can spend hours or days taking photos of your products in different settings yourself. And they still might not look good.

It’s hard. I went through the pain when I was running my notebook ecommerce store.

AI is changing that.

At Cliclic, we are building a tool to empower creatives to generate product images more efficiently and creatively with AI. With a single product image, you can generate unlimited beautiful photos that build your brand and increase conversions.

I will first go through how to use Cliclic and then share tips for generating beautiful images that build your brand and sell your products.

1. Take a photo of your product

Before you use Cliclic, you need at least one image of your products. If your suppliers already provided you with product images, usually those with a white background, great. You can use those.

Otherwise, you can easily do it yourself. Here are a few quick tips:

You do not need a professional camera. Most smartphone cameras these days are powerful enough. The iPhone 14 can take as good as or even better photos than my professional DSLR, Canon EOS 600D.

You do not need to worry about the background or photo composition because you will remove, create, and adjust these with Cliclic later. Just take a few photos of your products from different angles. At most, you could use a sweep to get some photos with a clean background.

The key thing is good lighting. Generally, you want light shining on the surface of the product you are photographing so that your product wouldn’t look too dark later and your smartphone can capture the details clearly. Natural sunlight often works best.

2. Upload your photo to Cliclic and remove the background

Most product images have the product right in the middle. And that is perfectly fine.

But if you also want to generate images for your social media, ads, and emails, then try different sizes, rotation, and positions when you are generating the images. You can even change the canvas size.
