AI builds the stage — your product stays real.

Snap one product photo. Snap2Shelf cuts it out, stages it on a festive or studio scene with matching shadows, checks that nothing about your product changed, then turns it into every format your shop and socials need, in about a minute.

How it works

The same steel water bottle, from photo to finished kit. Every picture below is what the pipeline actually produced.

Sample photo · AI-generated
Snap
Upload a photo, or scan a QR code and take one with your phone. Any background, any light.
Sample photo · AI-generated
Cut out
The product is lifted off its background once. Every shot after this reuses the same cut-out.
Stage
Placed on a ready-made scene. AI Vision already knows where its surface is and where the light comes from, so the shadows fall the right way and the tone matches.
QA rejected
Check
AI Vision checks every result against your photo. QA caught the first placement floating above the counter; the studio set it lower and checked again — approved on the third check.
QA rejected
- The product looks like it is floating or pasted on.
- There is a visible editing artifact (for example a cut-off shadow box).
Ship
A feed post, story, banner, marketplace image, catalog tile, colour variants and a Hindi and English offer, in one zip. Plus a reel, streamed from one URL.

The whole stage is one URL

No image editor and no render server. The picture here is one Cloudinary delivery URL: the hero from the top of the page, rebuilt in your browser every time you move a slider in the studio.

Peel the URL

Tap a colour to take that part out of the URL. Cloudinary renders what's left.

Each l_snap2shelf:products:shmessy1:cutout layer is this sample steel water bottle's cut-out, stored once on the demo cloud. A kit from your own photo layers your own cut-out.

Size & crop. Scene plate at the canonical 4:5 size
Shadows. Cast shadow: the product's silhouette projected onto the surface, away from the light (azimuth 315°, elevation 45°), softened and fading with distance
Reflection. Surface reflection: the cutout mirrored, blurred and faded under the product (glossy scenes only)
Shadows. Ambient occlusion: a soft pool of shadow where the product meets the surface
Shadows. Contact shadow: the product's own footprint, squashed, darkened and blurred so it sits on the surface
The product (layer). Your real product, placed where Scene DNA says the surface is, with a subtle neutral light-match
Light-match & effects. Light-match: the side facing away from the scene's light falls off gently
Size & crop. Resize to 720 px wide for this view
Format & quality. Best format and quality for the viewer's browser
Source asset. Scene plate from the shared library
