# Output settings (https://docs.apparelai.app/photoshoots/output-settings)

**Output** is the last step of **Create Photo Shoot**. Here you choose the aspect ratio and resolution of your product photo, add any styling options and instructions, and check your choices before you click **Generate Photo Shoot**.

## Aspect ratio: 3:4, 1:1 and more [#aspect-ratio-34-11-and-more]

Under **Aspect Ratio**, four ratios are shown. Click **+ 6 more ratios** to see the rest, and **Show less** to hide them again.

The highlighted **Est.** line in the footer shows what the shoot will cost.

![The Output step with all ten aspect ratios and the resolution options, and the Est. credits line highlighted above Generate Photo Shoot](/images/photoshoots/wizard-output-step.webp)

| Ratio | Name |
| --- | --- |
| 1:1 | Square |
| 4:5 | Social |
| 4:3 | Standard |
| 3:4 | Portrait (selected unless you choose another) |
| 9:16 | Story |
| 16:9 | Landscape |
| 3:2 | Classic |
| 2:3 | Tall Portrait |
| 5:4 | Large Format |
| 21:9 | Ultra Wide |

Some common choices:

- **3:4 Portrait** for marketplace listings. Myntra wants 1080×1440 images, which are 3:4.
- **1:1 Square** for catalog grids, and for Amazon, Flipkart, Ajio and Meesho.
- **9:16 Story** for Stories and Reels.

The Myntra and Nykaa Fashion presets use 3:4, and the Amazon, Flipkart, Ajio and Meesho presets use 1:1. See [Use marketplace presets](/photoshoots/marketplace-presets).

## Resolution and credits [#resolution-and-credits]

| Resolution | Size | Credits per photo |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Standard - 1K** (selected unless you choose another) | 1024 px | 1 |
| **HD - 2K** | 2048 px | 2 |
| **Ultra - 4K** | 4096 px | 3 |

Standard 1K is enough for most listings. Choose HD 2K or Ultra 4K when the photo needs to hold up to zoom, print or cropping.

Your browser remembers the aspect ratio and resolution you used, so they're ready for your next photoshoot. See [How credits work](/getting-started/credits).

To see what your plan includes, check [Compare plans](/billing/plans).



## Styling options for your garment mode [#styling-options-for-your-garment-mode]

In some garment modes, the **Output** step has extra options:

| Garment mode | Option | What you can choose |
| --- | --- | --- |
| [Saree mode](/garment-modes/saree) | **Saree Styling (optional)** | **Jewellery**, **Jewellery from Model** and **Hairstyle**, matched to the saree's style |
| [Salwar kameez mode](/garment-modes/salwar-kameez) | **Outfit Styling (optional)** | The same jewellery and hairstyle choices |
| [Shirt mode](/garment-modes/shirt) | **Shirt Options** | Collar (Point, Spread, Button-down or Chinese), Sleeve (Full or Half), Fit (Slim, Regular or Relaxed) and Pocket (None, One or Two) |

- You can choose **Jewellery** or **Jewellery from Model**, not both. **Jewellery from Model** keeps the jewellery the model already wears in her photo. If she has none, none is added.
- In Shirt mode, the defaults are a Point collar, Full sleeves, a Regular fit and no pocket. If you uploaded a logo, **Logo Position (optional)** lets you pick **Left Chest**, **Back Neck Tag** or both. The chest logo is placed from your uploaded file. The back neck tag only shows in [shirt product shots](/product-shots/shirt), not in the photoshoot.

## Additional Instructions [#additional-instructions]

Under **Additional Instructions (optional)**, describe anything else you want, for example "Add gold jewelry, make the dupatta flow in the wind, use soft warm lighting". Use it for requests the presets don't cover.

## Shoot Summary [#shoot-summary]

The **SHOOT SUMMARY** lists your **Product**, **Model**, **Pose**, **Background** (for example "Ethnic Indoor - Haveli Courtyard"), **Aspect Ratio** and **Resolution**. On a computer, the **Output** card in the **Live Preview** shows your ratio and resolution too, for example "3:4 · Standard - 1K".

To change something, click its step tab at the top of the page.

## Generate [#generate]

The footer shows the cost, for example **Est. 2 credits**. Click **Generate Photo Shoot** to start. If you don't have enough credits, the page tells you how many you need, and the button changes to **Not Enough Credits**.

## Frequently asked questions [#frequently-asked-questions]

<Accordions>
<Accordion title="What aspect ratio should I use for product photos?">
It depends on where you sell: **3:4 Portrait** matches Myntra's 1080×1440 images, and **1:1 Square** suits catalog grids. Pick your marketplace in the **MARKETPLACE** bar to let its preset set the ratio for you. For the size each marketplace export uses, see [Download and export](/library/download-and-export#export-for-marketplaces).
</Accordion>
<Accordion title="What aspect ratio should I use for Instagram?">
Use **4:5 Social** for feed posts and **9:16 Story** for Stories and Reels. To see **9:16 Story**, click **+ 6 more ratios**.
</Accordion>
<Accordion title="Which resolution should I choose: 1K, 2K or 4K?">
**Standard - 1K** is enough for most listings and costs 1 credit a photo. Choose **HD - 2K** (2 credits) or **Ultra - 4K** (3 credits) when the photo needs to hold up to zoom, print or cropping.
</Accordion>
<Accordion title="Can I upscale a photo to 4K later?">
Yes. On the **Photo Shoot Result** page, click **Upscale** under the photo, then **Upscale to 4K**. It makes the same photo in a higher resolution for 3 credits. See [Upscale to 4K](/photoshoots/edit-results#upscale-to-4k).
</Accordion>
<Accordion title="Can I change the aspect ratio of a photo I've already made?">
Yes, with **New Variation** on the **Photo Shoot Result** page. On its **Output** step, pick another ratio, such as **9:16 Story** for Reels or **1:1 Square** for a catalog grid. It costs 1, 2 or 3 credits, by resolution. See [Make a new variation](/photoshoots/new-variation).
