Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureCreate photorealistic product images for your store, ads, and social media in a few clicks. Edit products in bulk, choose a style, and generate new photos fast. Create studio shots, lifestyle scenes, or AI model try-on content. Keep your catalog consistent by using the same AI models across products. Upload multiple product photos to improve accuracy and get realistic results that match your original product.
Most AI tools re-imagine your product into something that isn't yours — wrong logo, wrong color. UGC Publisher keeps your REAL product. Upload or import a product photo, pick a scene (studio, marble, beach, lifestyle) or a UGC model, and the AI restyles only the scene — keeping the exact shape, colors, materials and logos. Each image uses one credit; delete the ones you don't want.
- Automatic Photoshoots. AI selects an appropriate style for each product.
- Consistent Look. Apply one theme across your catalog.
- Bulk Photoshoots. Run a photoshoot for products or the whole store at once.
- Detail preservation. Preserves visible product details from your source images.
- Keeps your real product — exact shape, colors, logos, not a look-alike
- UGC photos with ready-made AI models — no upload, no consent forms
- A photo per color — generate each variant, auto-matched in Shopify
- Generate options, keep your favorite — only the kept image counts
