Image remix / QUESTION GUIDE
How do you use a text-heavy reference without regenerating its words?
Treat the reference as two deliverables: a visual arrangement and an editable copy layout. Request the product scene without depending on generated typography, then place approved wording in an external editor. A copy-free concept should preserve useful space without retaining fragments of the original brand’s sentences.
Identify the text’s layout job
Mark where the reference’s headline, benefit, price and call to action sit. Count their roles rather than transcribing their exact words. A dense typographic block can balance a product on the opposite side, but your approved message may be shorter and require different space.
For an illustrative kitchen appliance ad, keep one headline zone and one concise feature zone. Remove an unsupported comparison or competitor slogan from the new brief. The layout should support your actual evidence instead of requiring you to invent enough claims to fill it.
Create a copy-free layout plan
| Zone | Visual request | External text decision |
|---|---|---|
| Headline | Clear quiet region | Approved short heading |
| Benefit | Uncluttered secondary space | One verified feature |
| Product | Recognizable actual item | No text over key detail |
| Action | Simple closing region | Current destination message |
Avoid blank faux labels that look like missing package text. Separate advertising copy zones from wording that physically belongs on the product. The latter still needs fidelity review.
Review the generated background for residual type
Use Image remix to describe the arrangement and your actual product. Ask for clean advertising space rather than a finished text-heavy advertisement. Inspect for invented characters, decorative letter fragments or retained reference slogans. A small unreadable mark can still make the composition feel unfinished.
Inspect the actual candidate and its export format. For this handoff, correct residual type precisely and retain the approved campaign wording in an external editable layout. A raster image does not itself prove that its text can be edited as separate objects.
Place approved copy and retest the hierarchy
Build the final text outside the generator and compare the combined image at phone size. Ensure the product remains recognizable and that a longer language version does not cover its controls. Recheck package lettering independently from the added campaign copy.
Use language-length planning for alternative copy and title-space planning for moving media. The approved output includes a clean scene plus an editable layout file, not a screenshot of generated words that cannot be corrected.
Fictional appliance layout: left headline zone, lower-left feature zone and right product. The reference headline and price are not your campaign facts. A bounded visual brief is: “Keep the approved appliance on the right, quiet advertising space at upper left and lower left, and no added campaign lettering. Preserve the appliance’s actual printed model label.” This is a teaching prompt, not a generated result.
| Review object | Concrete check | Decision |
|---|---|---|
| Advertising zones | No retained price, slogan or stray letter-like fragments | Reject or correct residual copy before layout |
| Physical product label | Original spelling, location and visible details | Do not erase it merely to make the ad copy-free |
| Final editable layout | Approved heading and one verified feature fit the intended view | Shorten/reflow copy rather than invent another claim |
Pebblely’s older vendor guidance explains reference-led composition. It does not establish the output of this fictional brief, removal precision or CartVisual export capabilities. Review the composed version at its actual destination after placing the approved wording.

Frequently asked questions
Does copy-free mean remove the physical product label?
No. Separate ad wording from the actual label.
Does a generated raster image prove its words are editable?
Keep the actual editable layout source; a picture of text does not establish separate text objects.
What if the candidate still has fake letters?
Reject or correct them precisely before release.
