# Create a lookbook (https://docs.apparelai.app/ai-tools/lookbook-generator)
The AI Lookbook Generator turns one photo of a garment or outfit into a lookbook image with four looks. The same model wears your outfit in four poses and settings, all in the mood you choose. Your garment's colors, prints, fabric and details stay true to the original.
Use it for Instagram posts, carousels and stories, lookbook sections on product and collection pages, launch teasers and email campaigns, and Pinterest pins.

## What to upload [#what-to-upload]
- **Outfit photo (required):** one clear, well-lit photo of one garment or a whole outfit, as a flat lay, on a mannequin, on a hanger or worn by a person. Make sure the whole piece is visible and in focus.
- **Model photo (optional):** a photo of the person you want to feature. Leave it empty, and an AI model wears your outfit.
It works for dresses, tops, shirts, jackets, trousers, skirts and co-ords, for women and men. If you upload a single top or bottom, it's styled with matching pieces and shoes into a complete outfit. To combine your own top and bottom in one photo, use [AI Outfit Builder](/ai-tools/outfit-builder).
Only add photos of people who have agreed to it. The [terms of service](https://www.apparelai.app/terms-and-conditions) require their explicit, written consent.
## Moods [#moods]
The mood sets the scene and the four poses of your lookbook.
| Mood | What it looks like |
| --- | --- |
| **Clean studio** | A bright, plain studio, made for product pages |
| **Quiet luxury** | Stone terraces, clipped gardens and a wood-panelled library in soft daylight |
| **City street** | Concrete walls, crosswalks and storefronts with street-style energy |
| **Summer getaway** | Whitewashed walls, bougainvillea and the sea |
| **Evening glam** | A grand hotel with marble staircases and crystal chandeliers |
| **Cafe days** | A corner cafe, tree-lined sidewalks and a flower stall |
| **Describe your own** | Any setting, light and vibe you write, like "a rooftop bar at night with warm neon signs" |
## Formats and sizes [#formats-and-sizes]
Every aspect ratio comes in 1K, 2K or 4K. Pick the one that fits where the lookbook will be posted.
| Aspect ratio | Common size | Best for | Moods to try |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| **Portrait (4:5)** | 1080×1350 | Instagram feed posts and carousels, Pinterest pins | Quiet luxury, Clean studio |
| **Vertical (9:16)** | 1080×1920 | Instagram Stories, TikTok, mobile lookbooks | City street, Summer getaway |
| **3:4** | 1500×2000 | Product pages, wholesale PDF catalogs | Clean studio, Cafe days |
| **Square (1:1)** | 1080×1080 | Facebook ads, Shopify collection pages | Evening glam, Clean studio |
The common size is the usual upload size for each format on those platforms. Choose 2K or 4K for extra detail and room to crop.
