Using AI to Generate Listing Images
2025-12-30 02:30:42
For self-hosted online stores, hiring professional teams for scene shooting or model photography can cost thousands per session, which is prohibitive for sellers testing multiple SKUs or frequently launching new products.
Using general AI image tools, like Midjourney, is efficient but often produces inconsistent styles, tones, and models, preventing a coherent brand visual identity and causing a chaotic store appearance.
Furthermore, when listing on multiple platforms such as Amazon, using identical or highly similar AI-generated images may trigger “duplicate listing” reviews, leading to merged or downgraded product links and loss of accumulated ranking.
AI-generated images, while visually appealing, often lack details and emotional elements that resonate with users. Spending excessive time fine-tuning prompts can be less efficient than hiring a professional designer for product images. In short, AI is easy to use, but converting AI-generated content into real sales and profit is extremely challenging.
