Product name
Identify products and creation records.
Tip: Use a short name without keyword stuffing. Each SKU name is entered separately and is required.
Reference design
Adapt product image layouts with AI
Upload a permitted layout reference, then add your own product and verified copy. Choose Style reference or Close recreation to guide the design. No sales or conversion results are guaranteed.
DESIGN FOR THE PLACEMENT
Product images for Amazon, Shopify, Etsy and global stores
Raven AI separates five jobs: product listing sets, SKU / variant images, product-page sections, reference layouts and clothing model photos. Choose your sales platform, target market and image copy language separately. The platform selector guides the design; it does not upload, publish or approve the result.
| Destination | Useful starting point | Check before publishing |
|---|---|---|
| Amazon | Product-only main image; separate lifestyle and detail images. Use the actual A+ module size for content sections. | Main listing images need a white background. Review category rules; added logos and labels are not a substitute for product photography. Amazon image requirements ↗ |
| Shopify / WooCommerce | Consistent gallery ratios and one image per actual variant; separate banners and page sections. | Shopify recommends 2048 × 2048 px for square product images. Preview your theme’s gallery on mobile. Shopify media guide ↗ |
| Etsy | Keep the actual item visible in square and landscape thumbnail crops. | Etsy recommends at least 2000 px in both dimensions and generally requires original photos of the actual product. Image sizes ↗ · Original-photo policy ↗ |
| eBay | Clear views of the actual condition and included items. | Avoid text, border and logo overlays on listing photos. Check the current listing rules. eBay listing pictures ↗ |
| Walmart Marketplace / TikTok Shop | Keep product galleries distinct from promotional creatives. | Review current country and category standards in your seller account. A vertical campaign graphic is not a universal listing format. |
SKU image or main listing image?
A SKU image identifies the real color, size or bundle being sold. Match each variant to its own source photo and verify labels and quantities. Logo cards can work in permitted brand or promotional placements; for product-only marketplace slots, turn off labels and logo overlays and keep a white background.
Aspect ratio is not resolution
1:1 describes a square canvas, not a fixed pixel size. Choose the resolution separately and inspect the downloaded file. Amazon A+ presets create specific module-sized images, while store-page sections use the selected canvas ratio. Do not stretch an image to make it fit.
THREE SIMPLE STEPS
Reference design How does it work?
Follow the steps from upload to download
- 01
Choose E-commerce Images → Reference Design Recreation. Upload 1 reference you own or are authorized to use. To replace the product, also upload a photo of the target product.
- 02
Choose the recreation type and reference strength. Enter factual target-product information, details to preserve, and text to change. Do not carry over the reference product's performance or price.
- 03
Confirm the cost and generate 1 result. Compare the composition with the reference, then compare the product with the target photo. Download after checking for incorrect brands, accessories, or promotional content left behind.
✳ Usage tips
First decide whether you want to borrow the overall feel or the structure. Asking for both a close match and a completely different design in one prompt can lead to unexpected results.
After processing, view the current canvas in the editor, compare before and after, and download the result as needed.
ILLUSTRATED USER GUIDE
Raven AI product guide · Updated Reference design Illustrated guide
Before you start
Prepare a reference design you have permission to use, plus a target product photo if replacing the product. Supply accurate facts and new copy for the target product.
A reference layout, redesigned for your own product
Upload a design you have permission to reference separately from your product photo. Borrow layout hierarchy, not the old brand or product claims.

Before you generate
Upload your own clear, authorized materials. Replace sample copy with your confirmed information. Review the model, quality, size and estimated credits shown in the tool.
Copy this example, then adjust the facts
Use the reference only for the headline hierarchy, generous spacing and soft beige lighting. Replace its lotion bottle with the uploaded cream jar and preserve the jar’s shape and lid. Use “Everyday essentials”. Remove the old brand, product text, prices and unsupported claims. Do not copy distinctive protected artwork.
What each setting does
Expand the options below for their purpose and practical tips. The available settings depend on the selected workflow and model.
Workflow: separate the design reference from the replacement product
In Bestselling Design Recreation, upload the design in References and your product in Product Assets. Each task uses 1 reference image and produces 1 result. Without a replacement product, the reference product remains the basis.
Style Reference allows more design variation; Close Recreation emphasizes the original composition. Enter the replacement headline and product details to preserve. Before submitting, make sure you have not used the reference product’s prices, brand, or performance as your own information.
Strength settings: choose style or composition as the reference
Choose the recreation type, then select Style Reference or Close Recreation. Style Reference preserves the overall design feel while allowing restructuring; Close Recreation follows subject placement and text areas more closely.
Specify what to preserve and replace in Additional Requirements, such as keeping the left-right column layout, replacing the product and headline, and removing the original brand text. Avoid contradictory requests for both identical and entirely different designs.
Check this list when finished
- The target product has not taken on the reference product’s shape.
- No old brand, old price, or unauthorized person remains.
- Permissions and copy match the final publishing use.
How do I fix a problem?
The product was not replaced
Make sure you uploaded the product in Product Assets, not only References. Clearly identify which subject to replace.
The layout changed too much
Check whether Style Reference is selected. Choose Close Recreation for a similar composition, though pixel-perfect matching is still not guaranteed.
WHEN TO USE IT
When to use it Reference design？
Existing brand templates: update the product and copy in an old poster you are authorized to use, preserving the visual identity. Check that old products, prices, and event information are fully removed.
New product design exploration: borrow lighting, spacing, and text hierarchy without copying the layout. Use Style Reference and adapt the design to the target product's size and features.
Reference Strength: Similar Style and Similar Layout Are Different Goals
Style Reference focuses on overall feel, information hierarchy, and visual direction, allowing new scenes and colors for creative exploration. Close Recreation emphasizes subject placement, text areas, image-to-text proportions, and camera framing for an established layout direction.
Neither reference setting guarantees a pixel-for-pixel copy. In the English example, a tall lotion bottle becomes a wider cream jar, so the product area and surrounding space may need adjustment. Keep the jar fully visible and correctly proportioned while borrowing the reference hierarchy.
Product Replacement: Keep the Design Logic and Enter New Product Facts
Each run uses 1 reference image to generate 1 result, with optional product assets. Without a replacement product, the design uses the reference product. For replacement, use a clear product image showing color, outline, and marks so background clutter is not mistaken for the target product.
Capacity, discounts, composition, or services in the reference are not facts about your product. Clearly state what to keep and replace. Example: Follow the product-left, heading-right arrangement; replace the product with the uploaded off-white canvas bag; change the heading to Commuting Storage; do not reuse the original brand, price, or performance claims.
If the reference contains multiple products, specify which one to replace and whether the other elements should remain. Check for fragments of the reference product's outline or old marks; do not review only the overall mood.
Supported Types: Product Images, Fashion Images, and Marketing Posters
Choose E-commerce Product Images, Fashion E-commerce Images, Marketing Posters, Social Media Graphics, or Creative Posters. Product images prioritize accurate appearance and verified features. Marketing posters need a clear campaign theme and valid copy. Social graphics need readable mobile text and clear heading hierarchy.
Use Product Image Sets for multiple images conveying different product information. Use Virtual Try-On for clothing on models in multiple poses and scenes. Reference Design Recreation focuses on one image's design direction and does not replace planning a complete detail page.
Reference Assets: Use Designs You Are Authorized to Use
Prefer your own previous designs, brand-provided templates, or licensed assets. Using a reference does not justify copying another brand's endorsement, model likeness, protected patterns, or distinctive marks. Do not use generation to remove watermarks and reuse someone else's images.
Before publishing, check branding, likeness permissions and campaign facts. A design reference does not establish sales performance or guarantee conversions.
Review Results: Three Comparisons to Find Errors
First, compare with the reference to check the intended image and text hierarchy. Second, compare with the real product photo for color, structure, and proportions. Third, read only the copy to find old brands, outdated figures, typos, and unverified promises.
If the design works but the product is wrong, add a clearer product view. If the product is correct but the layout is crowded, shorten the copy and specify spacing. For a few wording changes, continue with Edit Image Text. Focus on one main error per attempt to assess whether the adjustment helps.
GOOD TO KNOW
FAQs before you start
Should I choose Style Reference or Close Recreation?
Choose Style Reference to borrow the feel, lighting, and information hierarchy. Choose Close Recreation for similar subject placement, text areas, and image-to-text proportions. Neither guarantees pixel-perfect consistency.
Do I have to upload a new product photo?
No. Without a replacement, the design uses the reference product. To use your own product, provide clear target-product assets.
Can I recreate multiple references at once?
Currently, each run accepts 1 reference and generates 1 result. Create different reference designs separately to avoid conflicting composition instructions.
Can I copy another merchant's ad directly?
Use references you are authorized to use and write factual copy for your own product. Do not copy another party's brand, likeness, or unauthorized design elements.
What if the reference brand remains in the result?
Hold off on publishing. Clearly specify the text and marks to remove or replace, and check that the target product photo is clear. For minor text issues, continue editing with Edit Image Text.
