Frequently asked questions
Which guide should I read if AI changes my product label?
Start with reference preparation and product-detail review. Compare the label and outline against the original; a prompt cannot guarantee exact text or geometry.
Can a white-background guide guarantee marketplace approval?
No. Inspect the actual image and the current rules for the marketplace and category you use. A white-background instruction alone does not establish compliance.
Can generated detail images replace product measurements?
No. A generated close-up can invent detail. Use actual photographs or measurements for dimensions, construction and features that must be verified.
