AI Prompts for E-commerce Images and Video

We made this prompt book for people who work on product photos and ads and don’t want to burn a whole day making “just one more version”.

Open getimg.ai’s Content Generator, pick a prompt, and try it on a real product image.

How it works (images)

You can:

• Edit product photos with text
  Remove backgrounds, clean up distractions, fix lighting, swap backgrounds, change colors, and create lifestyle shots.
• Use references when you want consistency
  Upload a brand-style example, a color palette, material swatches, a pattern, or a model photo and match that look across a whole set of images.
• Generate from text
  Create new product concepts, packaging ideas, and print designs for POD.

How it works (video)

You can use existing images as:

• a first frame
• a first + last frame
• or references (style, background, overall vibe).

This lets you make things like premium push-in videos, UGC-style review clips, rotation videos, and quick ad hooks with simple transitions.

Supported batch sizes: 1 / 2 / 4 / 8 / 16.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is this prompt book?

It’s a practical prompt library for getimg.ai’s Content Generator, made for e-commerce teams, brands, and creators. It focuses on real workflows like product cleanup, lifestyle images, variants, ads with text, and short product videos.

What can I do with getimg.ai for e-commerce?

You can:

• remove or replace backgrounds
• clean up and retouch product photos
• create lifestyle scenes from a single product image
• generate color, material, and pattern variants
• create on-model and in-hand product images
• design ad creatives with real text
• generate short product videos for ads and PDPs
• prototype new product concepts from text.

Do I need perfect product photos?

No. Clean, well-lit images give the best results, but you can also work with phone photos, supplier images, or older assets. You can improve lighting, shadows, and overall quality directly in getimg.ai.

Can I upload reference images?

Yes. You can upload one or more reference images, for example:

• a product photo + ad design reference

Reference images help you keep results consistent and closer to your brand.

Can I generate images from text only?

• pure white background images
• clean centered packshots
