Shirt mode

Turn shirt fabric into AI model photos: add your logo, contrast collar and cuffs, choose collar style, sleeve, fit and pocket, and place the logo on the chest.

Ask ChatGPTAsk Claude

Use Shirt Mode for a shirt photoshoot on a model, starting from the shirt fabric. Only the fabric is required. You can also add your logo, and contrast fabric for the collar and cuffs, each in its own slot. Then you choose how the shirt is made: collar, sleeve, fit and pocket, and where your logo goes.

Upload slots

Upload slotWhat to uploadRequired?
Shirt FabricThe main fabricRequired
LogoYour chest logo or brand markOptional
CollarContrast collar fabricOptional
CuffContrast cuff fabricOptional

Each image you add is handled on its own. The logo is placed from your actual file, so it stays exact.

Photograph the fabric

  • Lay the fabric flat and steam out fold lines first. They can show up as creases in your results.
  • Use soft, even light, and shoot straight-on, not at an angle, so the pattern isn't distorted.
  • Fill the frame with the fabric, sharp and in focus.
  • For Logo, use your actual logo file if you have one.

Logo position

If you uploaded a logo, Logo Position (optional) appears on the Output step. You can pick Left Chest, Back Neck Tag, both or neither. The text under the choices tells you what you'll get:
