Flat lay to on-model product photos

The photo you have is a garment on a table. The photo your product page needs is that same garment on a person, lit and framed like the rest of your catalogue. Glammo AI makes the second from the first, without inventing what the first doesn't show.

From laid out to styled

Creative study
Flat-lay study: an aubergine cable-knit cardigan with cream buttons laid out on a neutral surface, alongside a model wearing the cardigan.

What a flat lay can and can't tell us

A flat lay shows colour, print placement, neckline, sleeve length, hem, seams, trims, and logos with total clarity. Those are exactly the details shoppers check, and they're what Glammo carries onto the model.

What a flat lay can't show is how the fabric hangs on a body, so Glammo keeps the fit honest: a boxy tee stays boxy, and a sweatshirt doesn't turn into knitwear. The on-model image reads as your product, not an interpretation of it.

Detail crops are where flat-lay photos shine: the neckline, the print, and the trim are already sharp in your photo, so the close-up stays sharp too.

How it works

  1. 01

    Open Studio and upload

    Choose On-model shoot and drop in the flat lay, or a whole collection of them.

  2. 02

    Choose a model, poses, and a style

    Pick a fictional, AI-generated model from the cast, then your poses and a background. Under Style, Clean PDP Studio is the product-page default.

  3. 03

    Generate the set

    From a flat lay, a product-page set is front, three-quarter and a detail crop; side and back views need a photo that shows them. Your shoot page opens at once and fills in as each frame is saved. One credit a frame.

  4. 04

    Review, then download

    Compare each frame with the flat lay, and fix a stray hand with an edit. Then download the set for your store.

What makes a good flat-lay source

Glammo works from the photo you upload, so the best results start with a good one.

  • The whole garment in frame

    Hem to collar, both sleeves. A cropped hem is a guessed hem.

  • Flat, not folded

    Sleeves out, front fully visible. Folded garments hide the shape Glammo needs to read.

  • Even light, true colour

    Soft daylight or a lightbox. Warm room light shifts colour before Glammo ever sees it.

  • A plain background

    White, grey, or a clean surface. Busy backgrounds compete with the garment edge.

  • Sharp and large

    The larger the source, the sharper the print and trim in the detail crop. JPG, PNG, or WebP, up to 10 MB a photo.

A POD mockup is a flat lay by another name — and the strongest before-and-after in the category.

Mockup tips for print-on-demand sellers

Common questions

Will the print stay in the same place?

That's the goal of every image: print placement, scale, and colour are kept as photographed. AI can still miss a detail, so compare the frame with the source before keeping it; a detail crop makes the print easy to check.

Does it work for hoodies, dresses, and trousers?

Yes: adult apparel across tops, shirts, hoodies, dresses, trousers and activewear. Footwear, jewellery, bags and eyewear aren't supported. Kidswear is never put on a model; it works in Packshots, as garment-only images.

Can I mix flat lays with other photos in one shoot?

Yes. On-model shoot takes flat lays, mannequin and on-model photos together, and handles each one by its own type.

What about the back of the garment?

A front flat lay can't show the back, so back and side views aren't offered from flat lays. If the back has print or detail that matters, photograph it on a mannequin or a person and upload that as its own source.

My garment is photographed on a hanger. Is that a flat lay?

Yes. A garment on a hanger works just like a flat lay.
