Bulk photoshoot
Shoot your whole catalog with AI: add up to 50 products, apply one model, pose and background set to all, approve the first photo, then generate the rest.
Bulk Photoshoot runs an AI photoshoot for a whole collection in one batch: up to 50 products, with up to 10 photos each. You set one model, your poses and a background once, and customise any product that needs something different. You can also approve each product's first photo before the rest are made, so a problem costs you one photo instead of a full set.
Bulk Photoshoot is in the web app: click Bulk Photoshoot in the sidebar.

Add your products
In Products, click Add product to add a row, name the product and upload its photos. To use garments you've already uploaded, click Choose saved products. Keep each product's photos in its own row. The counter shows how many of the 50 places you've used.
Continue to the photoshoot settings
When every product has its main photo, click Continue to photoshoot. The Batch overview panel shows how many products are ready. New photos upload at this point, and uploading uses no credits.

One shared look for many products
| Setting | What to know |
|---|---|
| Models | Pick one model for the whole collection. |
| Poses | Pick several. They're numbered in the order you pick them, and the first one is each product's approval photo. Your own poses come first, with a Custom badge. You can have up to 10 photos per product. |
| Backgrounds | Pick one. White Seamless is selected unless you choose another. To describe your own setting, choose Describe your own (up to 2,000 characters). |
| Aspect ratio | 1:1 Square, 4:5 Social, 4:3 Standard and 3:4 Portrait (selected unless you choose another). + 6 more ratios adds 9:16 Story, 16:9 Landscape, 2:3 Tall, 3:2 Photo, 5:4 Wide and 21:9 Cinema. |
| Resolution | 1K Standard (1 credit per photo), 2K HD (2 credits, selected unless you choose another) or 4K Ultra (3 credits). |
| Additional instructions | Anything else to keep or change, up to 2,000 characters. In Shirt mode, this section also has the pocket, sleeve length, fit and collar style choices, and the Logo: chest and Logo: back tag checkboxes. |
Some aspect ratios have slightly different names here than in a single photoshoot (for example, 2:3 is Tall here and Tall Portrait there).
Load a template
Click Load a template to fill in the shared settings:
- Saved shoot template applies one of your shoot templates: its model, poses, background, aspect ratio, resolution, instructions and saree styling.
- First photo look makes photo 1 of every product use a look from the Templates gallery. The background choice is hidden, and any extra poses you pick are based on that first photo. The template photo counts toward the 10 photos per product.
Customise a product
The Product settings table lists each product with its model, poses, background and output. Each value is tagged Shared or Custom. Click Customise next to a product to change its settings, and click Done when you've finished. To return a product to the shared look, click Use all shared settings.
Review the first photo before the rest
With Review first photo before other poses on (it's on unless you turn it off), every product makes its approval photo first. You approve products one by one, and only then are their remaining poses made. If a product needs changes, you find out after one photo.
To save credits on these first photos, also tick Create first photo in 1K for preview. You then check each design for 1 credit. The first photo stays in 1K, and the other poses use the resolution you chose. This option appears when review is on and the resolution isn't 1K.
With review off, the remaining photos continue automatically after the first one.
Credits
Each photo costs credits at its resolution: 1 at 1K, 2 at 2K and 3 at 4K. The footer shows the credits to start and the total for the batch. With review on, only the first photos are charged when you start, and the rest after you approve.
For example, 6 products with 4 poses each, at 2K:
| Review on | Review on, with the 1K preview | |
|---|---|---|
| Photos | 24 | 24 |
| Credits to start | 12 | 6 |
| Total credits | 48 | 42 |
If you don't have enough credits, the page tells you how many the batch needs and how many you have, with Get credits and Refresh balance buttons. See How credits work.
After you start
The batch opens on its own page, and you can come back to it from Recent batches on the Bulk photoshoots page. If you allowed browser notifications, ApparelAI tells you when:
- your previews are ready for approval,
- the batch is paused because you need more credits ("Paused: add credits, then resume your photoshoot."),
- your bulk photoshoot is ready, or finished with some failed photos.
See Notifications.
