How to prevent AI from ruining your product
Start with a clean input, generate the right way, iterate fast.
Aug 25, 2025
AI can make your product look great, or wreck it. It only builds on what you feed it. Fuzzy labels, glare, and busy backgrounds lead to warped shapes and fake looks. Here is the simple fix in 3 steps.
Step 1- Get a good input photo
Pick a better photo- Choose the sharpest shot you have. Full label in frame, no crop on edges, no glare.
Take a better photo- You can take product shots on par with Nike and Apple with just your phone.
Tweak the input. Increase brightness and contrast so the label is clear. Remove color casts. Keep whites actually white.
Avoid
Low resolution, motion blur, heavy filters, busy patterns behind the product
Tilted bottles, crumpled packs, curved labels that warp text
Clipped edges, harsh reflections, fingerprint smudges
Step 2- Generate
Make a clean render. Start simple. Single product, neutral scene, natural shadows. Keep the product scale consistent across runs.
Use Switch Background in Pixii. It locks the product & swaps only the scene. Test 2 to 3 backgrounds that match your brand.
Step 3- Iterate
Use Iterate feature in the editor tab. Change one thing at a time like varying background, angle, or shadow, then compare side by side.
Use a high end editing tool to mask the lable. Edit the best photo in Photoshop or Affinity. Straighten the label. Boost contrast. Remove glare and dust. If text is soft, paste the original label art.
Why this all works
Clear input helps the model read edges and text, so it keeps your product shape and label intact.
Clean backgrounds make masking easy, so swaps look real.
Small changes beat big swings. Controlled tests get you a usable hero shot faster.
Try it now. Upload a sharp product photo, run a clean render, Switch Background, then Iterate.
