  • AI Prompts for Product Photos That Sell

    A clear, honest photo sells better than a long description. These AI prompts for product photos help you clean up a background, balance the light and show your item in a simple scene, while the product itself stays exactly as it is. Replace anything in [brackets] with your own details.

    Keep the product true

    Never let AI change the colour, size, shape, logo or condition of what you sell. Customers buy what they see, so the picture must match the real product. Check the image rules of the shop or marketplace where you sell; Google’s Merchant Center help page on product image requirements is a useful example of what platforms expect.

    AI prompts for product photos you can copy

    Clean white background

    Remove the background from my uploaded product photo and place the product on a clean white background with a soft natural shadow. Do not change the product’s shape, colour or logo.

    Coloured surface with soft light

    Place my uploaded product on a clean [color] surface with soft studio lighting. Keep the product exactly the same. No extra objects and no text.

    Fix the light and colour

    Make my uploaded product photo brighter and sharper. Correct the colours so they look natural and true to the real product. Do not add effects.

    A simple lifestyle scene

    Show my uploaded product on a [table, desk or shelf] in a simple, realistic setting with soft daylight. Keep the product unchanged and do not add other brands or logos.

    A matching set for your shop

    Edit my uploaded product photo to match the style of my shop: a [color] background, soft shadow and the product centred with space around it.

    Remove small flaws on the background

    Remove dust, fingerprints and creases from the background of my uploaded product photo. Do not retouch the product itself.

    Check the result

    Compare the new image with my original and list anything that changed on the product itself, such as colour, shape or details.

    Save the AI prompts for product photos that work best for your shop, and reuse them for every new item.

    A short checklist before you upload

    • Does the product look exactly like the real item?
    • Are the colours true, even on a phone screen?
    • Is there any text, logo or object you do not have rights to use?

    Pair photos with good words

    Great pictures work best with clear text. See our guide to AI prompts for product descriptions and AI prompts for small business owners.

  • AI Prompts for Restoring Old Photos: Easy Fixes

    Fix scratches, fading and blur in family pictures without losing the faces you love. These AI prompts for restoring old photos tell an image-editing AI what to repair and what to leave alone, so grandma still looks like grandma. Replace anything in [brackets] with your own details.

    Before you start

    • Scan or photograph the old print in good light, and keep the original safe. Work only on a copy.
    • Use an AI tool that can edit images you upload. Features differ between tools and change often.
    • Use photos of your own family, or photos where the people or their families would agree. Handle the paper print carefully; the Library of Congress explains how to care for and store photographs.

    What to tell the AI

    Good AI prompts for restoring old photos always say what to repair, what to keep and how far to go. The most important line is usually: “Keep the faces and expressions exactly as they are.”

    AI prompts for restoring old photos you can copy

    Remove scratches and dust

    Restore my uploaded old photo. Remove scratches, dust and small marks. Keep the faces, clothes and expressions exactly as they are. Do not add anything new.

    Repair fading

    My uploaded photo has faded. Improve the contrast and brightness gently so details are easier to see. Keep the original black and white or sepia look.

    Fix a tear or missing corner

    My uploaded photo has a tear across [location] and a missing corner. Repair the damage so the picture looks complete, and keep everyone’s faces unchanged.

    Sharpen without changing faces

    Make my uploaded old photo clearer and slightly sharper. Do not change anyone’s facial features, age or expression. If a detail is too blurry to know, leave it as it is.

    Add colour carefully

    Add natural, soft colour to my uploaded black-and-white photo. Use muted, realistic tones for skin, clothes and background. I know the colours are guesses.

    Remove a stain

    Remove the [brown stain or water mark] in the [location] of my uploaded photo and match the surrounding area. Do not change the people.

    Tell me what changed

    After you restore my photo, list every change you made in short bullet points, so I can check that nothing important was altered.

    Check the result against the original

    AI restorations can look sharp and still be wrong. It may smooth a face, add a detail that was never there or change a date on a sign. Compare with the original, ask a relative who knew the person, and save both versions. Our guide on how to fact-check AI answers works for images too.

    Save the story, not only the picture

    Write names, dates and places on the back of the original or in the file name. A restored picture without its story is much less useful to the next generation.
