Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureAdaptiveIQ scores every product image from 0-100 on composition, lighting, background, and how well it fits its category, then shows you exactly what to improve. Generate missing shots, improve weak ones, or edit existing images with AI - and apply shot-order templates built for each product category. Add AI-written SEO titles, descriptions, and image alt text, and push everything to your store when you're ready.
A hero shot, a lifestyle photo, and a close-up each do a different job in your gallery. Scoring them all against one generic checklist misses what each image is there to do. ShopShot reads a product image, works out its role in the gallery, and scores it on what that slot needs: a score out of 100, a five-point breakdown, a category benchmark, and a short list of specific fixes — plus what to leave alone.
- AI image scoring with clear, prioritised recommendations
- Generate, improve, and edit product images with AI - no studio needed
- Category-aware templates for the good shot order, every time
- AI-written SEO titles, alt text, and file names, pushed to your store
- Classifies each photo's role: hero, lifestyle, detail, or social proof
- Scores 0–100 with a five-point breakdown for that role
- Lists specific fixes for the image, and what to avoid
