Easiest workflow — describe in plain language, refine through chat ("make the lighting warmer, move the product slightly left"). Quality is solid, slightly less premium than Firefly. Better for quick mockups and concept previews.

Frequently asked

  • Is it legal to use AI-generated product photos for my real product?

    Generally yes, but check your AI tool's commercial license. Firefly is the safest. Midjourney and ChatGPT paid plans grant commercial rights, but Firefly is the only one trained exclusively on licensed data.

  • Why do AI-generated photos sometimes mangle text on the product label?

    Text rendering is still the weakest area for image AI. For products with critical label text, use Ideogram (best text rendering) or composite the label in afterwards in Photoshop.

  • How do I keep the same product consistent across multiple photos?

    Upload one good photo as a reference image. Flux 2 and Midjourney's character/product reference features let you generate the same item in different settings without it morphing.
