How to use Gen AI Effect feature to create custom image effects
You can preset an AI prompt so that your customer’s uploaded photo is automatically transformed into a specific style or effect. For example, you could turn their photo into a Ghibli-style or Disney-style artwork. This lets you offer fun, AI-generated product designs without any extra steps from the customer.

Add a reference image for Gen AI Effects
For example, both of these uploaded images will be generated in the same Kimono style.

To use this feature, simply navigate to your Artwork Editor, and toggle the Use Reference Image button, then upload your reference image there:

The image uploaded by the Customer (base image or source image) is treated as Image 1, and the reference image is Image 2.
In your prompt, clearly describe what Image 1 is used for, such as what the AI should focus on or keep from it, and what Image 2 provides, like the style, outfit, or background.
Then, write your main prompt below to describe the desired result.
To get the best results, you may need to adjust your prompt so the AI understands and applies the reference image properly. Since output consistency can vary depending on the artwork and provider, results might not be 100% accurate on the first try. Test and fine-tune your prompt to achieve the desired style.

- When a buyer reaches the upload limit, they’ll see a message directly in the Product Page so they know why they can’t continue. You can customize this message in Product page content > Upload photo > Error message when reaching upload limit.

- When a buyer is close to the limit (less than 3 uploads left), they’ll see a warning message in Product Page. You can customize this warning in Product page content > Upload photo > Warning message when nearing upload limit.
