FAQ
What makes a product image perform well on TikTok Shop?
Bright, bold, and slightly informal styling tends to perform better than a clinical studio shot, since it matches the native feel of the platform.
Should I use a colorful or plain background?
A bold single-color or trendy styled background usually stands out more in a scrolling feed than a plain white one.
Can I create these from my own product photo?
Yes, upload your product photo and describe the styling you want, and the AI will generate a new version in that direction.
