What it isAI product photography that starts from your photo, not a prompt.
Most AI image generators begin with a text prompt and invent a product that looks roughly like yours. Lystiva begins with your real product photo. It reads what the photo shows, asks you to confirm the facts, and then generates new scenes, studio shots, and graphics around that exact item. You get lifestyle photos, white-background shots, and on-model images without booking a studio, and the product in them is the one you actually sell.
Seven StudiosPick the job the image has to do.
Every Studio starts from the same reviewed product Source, so a lifestyle scene, a white-background re-shoot, and a social ad all describe the same item.
Lifestyle
Your product in real rooms, on surfaces, and on display: one image or a four-setting set. It can also place two or three reviewed products together in one frame.
Re-shoot
Re-photograph an accepted product shot with a new backdrop, surface, and lighting while the camera angle and pose stay locked. Setup diagrams are schematic, not a live preview.
Products & People
Products held, worn, or shown beside a person, planned from your Source evidence with consent-aware person references.
Mockups
Exact artwork placement for prints and digital art, or furniture and decor staging in a room concept.
Listing Graphics
Dimension graphics, feature callouts, and exact-copy layouts built only from facts you confirmed.
Social & Ads
A native composition for each platform and placement, such as an Instagram post or a Pinterest pin.
Campaigns & Storefront
Website heroes, shop banners, and email headers from one approved creative direction.
Start with evidenceMatch the buyer question to a reference.
A clear front view can establish the product's silhouette, but it cannot prove the back, capacity, or exact size. Add the missing angle or a seller-confirmed measurement before planning a frame that depends on it.
Recognition
Use a clear product reference to plan a view that makes the item easy to identify.
Detail
Supply a close reference for the finish, label, clasp, or construction a buyer needs to inspect.
A review gate
Reject frames that drift from confirmed Source facts and replan before generating again.
Plan complementary roles, not a guaranteed image count.
Recognition, detail, evidence-backed scale, and context are possible jobs for images, not four promised outputs from one photo. A scale view needs trustworthy size evidence; a hidden surface needs another reference. Leave a role out when the Source cannot support it.
Reject an attractive frame when it misses the job.
In Lystiva's first-party illustrative table lamp method example, a draft with a neutral scale cube is rejected because it implies a lamp size the Source does not confirm. A studio re-shoot is selected for inspection of the wood grain, brass neck, and linen shade. This demonstrates a review decision, not a customer result.
AI product photos compared with a traditional shoot.
- CostA studio day is priced per shot or per day; Lystiva costs 1 credit per image, or 2 credits for four Economy square images.
- SpeedNew scenes are generated in minutes instead of scheduling a shoot and waiting for edits.
- ConsistencyA whole catalog can share one look, and bulk production can apply one job's setup to up to 20 products in a batch.
- LimitsAI cannot show a surface you never photographed, and it cannot measure the product. A real photo of every important detail still matters.
Tips for a source photo that generates well.
- Shoot in soft daylight near a window, away from mixed warm and cool lighting.
- Fill most of the frame with the product and keep it in sharp focus.
- Photograph the details buyers inspect, such as clasps, labels, glaze, or stitching, as separate close shots.
- Avoid props that could be mistaken for part of the offer.
CostSee the exact credit cost before anything is generated.
Planning, fact review, and listing copy are free. A single generated image costs 1 credit; an Economy 2×2 request returns four compatible square images for 2 credits. Paid plans start at $19 a month, and the Free plan includes a two-credit welcome grant with watermarked images.
- The quote names every planned output before you approve it.
- If a provider outcome is uncertain, Lystiva holds the request instead of charging for an automatic retry.
- Paid plans never add a watermark.
PublishSend reviewed listings to your shop, or download them.
Connect an Etsy shop or a WooCommerce store to send reviewed images, titles, and descriptions as a draft listing or as selected-field updates to an existing one. Publishing the draft is a separate step you take on purpose. For Amazon, Shopify, social, or any other destination, download a reviewed package and upload it yourself.
