# Input & Upload Stage
Source: https://docs.getayna.com/guidelines/input-upload
This section covers what you need to prepare and check before uploading garment images and clicking generate — including the correct upload formats, required views, and common mistakes to avoid.
## Garment Preparation
For best results, garments should be clean, ironed, and neatly arranged before photographing. Ayna supports **Flat-lay, Mannequin images, and Model shots** — explore the guidelines for each format below.
### Flat-Lay Shots
Flat-lay images are one of the best ways to upload garments on Ayna. Place the garment neatly on a flat surface so the full shape, structure, and details are clearly visible. A clean flat-lay helps Ayna detect the garment accurately and improves the final output quality.
**DOs**
* Lay the garment flat, straight, and wrinkle-free
* Keep the full garment visible with a plain background
* Use good lighting and a clear image
**DON'Ts**
* Don't upload folded, crumpled, or twisted garments
* Don't use cluttered backgrounds or dark lighting
* Don't upload cropped or half-visible items
* Avoid uploading heavy ethnic-wear garments in this format
### Hanger Shots
Hanger shots are also ideal for Ayna when the garment is hanging naturally and clearly shows its shape. The garment should be centered, properly aligned, and fully visible.
**DOs**
* Hang the garment straight and centered
* Keep the garment fully visible with a clean background
* Upload sharp, well-lit images
**DON'Ts**
* Don't upload garments hanging unevenly or distorted
* Don't upload images with missing parts (sleeves/hem cut off)
* Don't use blurred, shadow-heavy, or low-quality photos
### Model Shots
Model shots are recommended for garments that require drape, flow, and natural fit to be understood correctly. This includes outfits where the fabric falls in layers or where styling is an important part of the garment structure. Uploading a clear model image helps Ayna capture the silhouette, garment length, and overall look more accurately.
**DOs**
* Upload full-body or 3/4 body images where the garment is clearly visible
* Ensure the garment drape and flow is visible (especially sarees, dupattas, long dresses)
* Use clean backgrounds and good lighting
* Keep poses natural so the garment is not hidden
**DON'Ts**
* Avoid images where the garment is blocked by props or objects
* Don't upload images with heavy distractions, busy walls, or clutter
* Avoid sitting poses or cropped frames where the garment length is not visible
### Mannequin Shots
Mannequin shots are ideal when you want to show the garment in a structured way without a human model. They are highly recommended for outfits that need clear visibility of shape, layering, and fabric fall. Mannequins are best for garments like: Sarees, 3-piece suits (kurta set with dupatta), Lehenga sets, Dresses, Outfits with layers or heavy embroidery, etc.
**DOs**
* Upload mannequin images where the garment is properly fitted and centered
* Make sure the full garment is visible from top to bottom
* Keep the exact drape, fabric flow that you want to achieve (especially dupattas and drapes)
* Use a plain background and good lighting
**DON'Ts**
* Avoid mannequin images where the garment is incomplete or not properly arranged
* Don't upload images where the garment is folded, hanging unevenly, or messy
* Avoid cluttered backgrounds and poor lighting
## Views Required
Different types of garment views can be uploaded on Ayna, such as front, back, side, detailed shots, or any other available angle.
Upload clear images of each view. For example: Adding front and back views of the garment ensures accurate results in front and back poses. Ayna automatically detects and labels each uploaded view. If a view is incorrectly identified, you can modify it using the Custom View option.
### Front Views
The front view is required to capture the garment's main design, neckline, front pattern, and overall shape. It helps Ayna understand the primary silhouette and key styling elements visible from the front.
We have Left Front and Right Front views as well, these views are automatically tagged, and can be used to generate 45 degree angle images easily.
### Side Views
The side view helps Ayna understand sleeve structure, and all other kinds of side details. It is useful for heavy prints and details, utility clothing, embroidered fits and more.
### Back View
The back view is important to capture details like cuts, seams, collars, closures, and prints that may differ from the front. Uploading it ensures better accuracy and avoids incorrect results.
### Detailed View
Upload a clear, high-resolution close-up of the garment's details and label it as Detailed View on Ayna. Lock the image before proceeding further.
The Detailed View will not get AI generated on Ayna; the same uploaded image will be included or retained in the final photoshoot output without using additional credits. This ensures all views, including detailed shots, are delivered together in a single folder for streamlined download and export to websites.
## Common Styling Mistakes
To get the best results on Ayna, your garment images must clearly show the product's shape, structure, and details. Styling mistakes like folds, overlapping parts, wrong angles, or busy backgrounds make it difficult for Ayna to detect the garment correctly. These issues often lead to inaccurate silhouettes, missing details, or distorted outputs. Some of the common styling mistakes to avoid are:
1. **Wrong Angle:** Avoid tilted or dramatic angles. Straight, centered shots maintain correct proportions and structure.
2. **Busy Background:** Avoid cluttered backgrounds. A clean, plain backdrop keeps the garment clear and well-defined.
3. **Folded or Broken Prints:** Wrinkled or folded printed fabrics can distort patterns and misplace design elements.
4. **Creased / Wrinkled Garments:** Heavy creases hide structure and affect overall garment clarity. Smooth, ironed garments work best.
5. **Hidden Waist Detail:** Covered waistlines (by hands, drapes, or folds) affect length and fit accuracy.
6. **Multiple Garments in One Frame:** Avoid overlapping garments in a single image. Upload one clear garment per frame.
### Examples That Affect Output Quality
Below are common issues and how they impact Ayna's output:
**Image A — Dupatta Visible from the Sides**
When the dupatta is visible from the front sides, it blends into the garment structure. This can result in incorrect sleeve shapes or extra fabric appearing around the arms in the final output.
**Fix:** Place the dupatta behind or style it so it does not resemble sleeves.
**Image B — Dupatta Covering the Sleeves**
If the dupatta covers the sleeves, the sleeve structure becomes unclear. This can lead to the generated outfit appearing sleeveless or incorrectly shaped.
**Fix:** Ensure sleeves are fully visible and not covered by the dupatta.
**Image C — Garment Type Confusion**
Sleeveless tube or corset-style garments without clear structure can appear undefined. This may result in added layers or sleeve elements in the output.
**Fix:** Use mannequin or model shots to clearly define the garment shape.
**Image D — Extra Folds on Sleeves**
Folded sleeves distort the actual sleeve shape and replicated as unintended design elements in the final result.
**Fix:** Lay the garment fully open and smooth so sleeves are clearly visible.
**Image E — Creases and Unrefined Draping**
Wrinkles, creases, or poorly arranged drapes affect garment clarity. These imperfections can carry into the generated output, making the final look appear unrefined.
**Fix:** Steam and neatly drape the garment before photographing.
## Images That Need Special Care
Certain garment types and image formats require extra attention to ensure smooth processing and accurate results. Images with transparent fabrics, sensitive body areas, or close-up framing of children may need to be uploaded differently. These garments are fully supported on Ayna — they just need to be photographed in the right format (mannequin, flat-lay, or properly styled model shots). Here are the key categories to keep in mind:
### Sheer / Transparent Garments (Net, Mesh, Organza, Lace)
Sheer garments can be difficult to detect accurately because the garment boundaries are unclear, and may get flagged by AI safety filters.
**Recommended:** Upload these as a mannequin shot or full model shot with their respective inners or undergarment.
### Lingerie, Undergarments & Bikini Sets
Lingerie or bikini images on real models may be flagged as sensitive content and generation will not proceed.
**Recommended:** Upload these on a mannequin or as a flat-lay for accurate results. Structured one-piece garments can be put on hangers as well.
### Kids Garments Close-Ups
Close-up frames may be flagged by AI safety systems and can interrupt processing. Always use mid-length or full-length shots that clearly show the garment.
**Recommended:** Upload the garment separately on a mannequin, flat-lay, or as a full garment shot.
# Intro to Guidelines
Source: https://docs.getayna.com/guidelines/intro
This guide covers everything you need to get the best results from Ayna - from preparing your garments and setting up your shoot, to uploading, generating, and downloading your final images.
We've organized the workflow into **4 stages:**
1. [Preparation Stage](/guidelines/preparation) — Supported garment categories, clicking methods, and camera settings
2. [Input & Upload Guidelines](/guidelines/input-upload) — Garment preparation, required views, styling mistakes to avoid
3. [Using Ayna Studio](/guidelines/using-studio) — Upload formats, garment categories, and generating photoshoots
4. [Post-Production & Download](/guidelines/post-production) — Image refinement, marketplace variations, and downloading
Each stage covers a specific part of using Ayna — whether you're shooting a single sample or preparing a full seasonal catalog. Following these guidelines helps reduce re-generation and get the best output on the first pass.
# Post-Production & Download
Source: https://docs.getayna.com/guidelines/post-production
Now that Ayna has generated your photoshoot, you can refine your images, apply marketplace-specific cropping, reorder and organize your files, and finally download your outputs for use across platforms.
## Image Refinement
For a detailed walkthrough of image refinement, see: [Refine Image](/how-tos/refine-image)
## Marketplace Variations
Once your photoshoot is generated in a custom size, you can instantly create marketplace-specific variations such as Myntra, Nykaa Fashion, Flipkart, and more. Select the desired marketplace to crop your images in the exact ratio supported by them and save changes. All variations can be viewed under the 'photoshoot' section.
This eliminates the need for manual resizing or cropping. All marketplace versions are automatically saved under the same photoshoot, and you can select and download them together in a single folder.
To use this feature seamlessly, we recommend creating your initial images in the Amazon (1:1) ratio so that images can easily be cropped without missing out on any details.
## Reordering of Images
After your images are generated, you can rearrange them directly within the Photoshoot section. Simply drag and reposition the images to set your preferred sequence. For example, front view first, followed by side views, detail shots, and back view.
This ensures your images are saved and downloaded in the correct order, eliminating the need for manual rearrangement later.
## Naming and Foldering
You can name your folders or images before uploading them to Ayna, or upload them directly and rename them later from the **'Product'** tab. The photoshoot name will reflect the same folder name, and when you download the images, they will be saved using that name for easy identification.
## Downloading
To download your images, select the desired marketplace platform from the **Platform** option. All generated marketplace variations (such as Amazon, Myntra, etc.) will be displayed.
Select your images, and download them in **PNG or JPG** format. The images will be saved in a folder with the same photoshoot name for easy organization.
***
That's it! Follow these guidelines to get the best output possible. If you have any doubts, feel free to contact us at [support@getayna.com](mailto:support@getayna.com) or [book a demo](https://www.getayna.com/book-a-demo) with us.
# Preparation Stage
Source: https://docs.getayna.com/guidelines/preparation
Before you start generating on Ayna, there are a few things to get right. This section covers which garment categories Ayna supports and how to set up your camera for clear, high-quality inputs.
## What You Can Shoot on Ayna
Ayna supports a wide range of garment categories. You can shoot and generate outfits for multiple segments, including **Men's wear, Women's wear, and Kids wear**, in both **ethnic and western styles**. This makes it easy for brands to use Ayna for different product categories under one platform.
### Women: Western Wear
### Women: Ethnic Wear
### Men: Western Wear
### Men: Ethnic Wear
### Kidswear: Girl
### Kidswear: Boy
Ayna also supports custom garment styles beyond the categories shown above. If you have specific requirements or would like to check compatibility for your brand's unique styles, feel free to reach out to our team at [support@getayna.com](mailto:support@getayna.com).
## Recommended Clicking Methods
While Ayna supports a wide range of garment categories, the quality of the final AI output depends heavily on how the garment is prepared and photographed before upload. Certain garment types like sarees or heavy detailing, require specific input formats to achieve the best results. Refer to the guidelines below before proceeding with your shoot.
### Sarees
To achieve accurate drape and full prints in AI results, the input image must clearly show the full drape, pleats, borders, and fall in a well-arranged format.
**DOs**
* Upload sarees properly draped on a mannequin or worn by a model
* Ensure pleats, pallu, and borders are clearly visible
* Keep the fabric neatly arranged and wrinkle-free
**DON'Ts**
* Avoid crumpled or folded fabric shots
* Do not upload small or incomplete flatlays
### Flowy Dresses / Fluid Garments
Flowy garments such as Dresses, Gowns, Anarkalis, or flared outfits require clear visibility of their fall and flare. The fabric should be neatly arranged to show how the garment drapes naturally.
**DOs**
* Use neatly draped mannequin or on-human images
* Ensure the full flare, sleeves and tie-up details are visible (spread properly in flatlay if needed)
* Upload ironed, wrinkle-free garments
**DON'Ts**
* Avoid crumpled or unironed fabrics
* Do not upload incomplete or cropped views
* Avoid poses where sleeves or important details are hidden
### Heavy Detailing
While a plain, basic pair of pants can be uploaded using simple front and back flat-lay images, garments like cargos, utility pants, and detailed trims that include side pockets, zippers, or other structural elements need additional angles to capture the full design accurately.
**DOs**
* Upload mannequin or on-human images with all visible side angles to show pockets, and other side/back details
* Keep the garment properly shaped and wrinkle-free
**DON'Ts**
* Avoid single flatlay images that hide side detailing
* Do not crop out pockets or side seams
* Avoid unclear or shadow-heavy images
## Camera Settings
Ayna's AI relies on the quality of your input images to generate accurate results. Poor lighting, blur, or busy backgrounds can cause the AI to misread garment details, affecting the final output. Keep these essentials in mind:
* **Shoot at the highest resolution your device supports. Ayna accepts images from 1K (1024x1024) up to 8K (8192x8192)** — higher resolution captures fabric texture and detailing more accurately.
* Use consistent, even lighting. Harsh shadows or mixed light can cause the AI to misinterpret garment colors and silhouette edges.
* Keep the entire garment in frame — no cropping at sleeves, hemlines, or collars. The AI needs to see the full garment structure to generate it accurately.
* Use a plain, uncluttered background (white or neutral). Busy backgrounds make it harder for the AI to separate the garment from its surroundings.
# Using Ayna Studio
Source: https://docs.getayna.com/guidelines/using-studio
This section walks you through uploading garments and generating photoshoots on Ayna — from supported file formats, to choosing the right garment category, to running your first generation.
## Basic Upload Guidelines
These are some upload guidelines that need to be followed for every image, otherwise Ayna might not process your input image:
* Recommended resolution: **1K (1024 x 1024) to 8K (8192 x 8192)**
* Maximum file size: **15 MB per image**
* Best format: **PNG**
* Also supported: **JPG, JPEG, and WEBP**
## Single or Bulk Uploading
1. **Single Product Upload:** Upload one product at a time by dragging and dropping multiple images of the same garment (up to 10 images per product).
2. **Multiple Product Upload:** You can upload multiple folders of garments where each folder contains images of one product, grouped under the same garment category.
## Garment Categories and Examples
Once you click on **Start a Photoshoot**, you can select the segment — Men, Women, Boys, Girls, or Baby. Ayna has 4 main garment categories: **Top Wear, Bottom Wear, Full Body,** or **Top + Bottom (Set)**.
Each category is designed to match the garment structure correctly. Here's what each option includes and when to select it.
### Top Wear
After selecting the segment (Men, Women, Boys, Girls, or Baby), choose **Top Wear** for garments such as Tops, T-shirts, Shirts, Kurtis, Sweatshirts, and similar upper-body styles.
This category is suitable for any garment worn only on the upper half of the body. Bottoms and accessories can be later chosen from Ayna's style library. Before uploading the images, make sure to select **'Top Wear'** and choose fit styles after uploading the images.
Top wear supports flat-lay, hanger shots, mannequin, and model shots. However, if the garment has **heavy detailing**, it is recommended to upload mannequin or model images with side views for better structural clarity.
### Bottom Wear
Choose **Bottom Wear** for garments such as Pants, Denims, Cargos, Skirts, Shorts, Dhotis, and similar lower-body styles. This category is suitable for any garment worn only on the lower half of the body. Top-wear and accessories can be later selected from Ayna's style library. Before uploading the images, make sure to select **'Bottom Wear'** and choose fit styles after uploading the images.
Bottom wear works well with flat-lay and mannequin formats. For garments with side pockets, cargo panels, flaps, or utility details, include **side-angle views or upload on mannequin/model** to capture full structure.
### Full Body
Choose **Full Body** for garments such as sarees, dresses, long gowns, jumpsuits, or even coordinated 3-piece sets. This category is suitable for outfits that cover both the upper and lower body as a complete look. Before uploading the images, make sure to select **'Full Body'** and choose fit styles after uploading the images.
Full-body garments like sarees, gowns, and dresses require clear silhouette visibility. For draped or flowy styles, **mannequin or model shots** are recommended to properly capture fall, pleats, and structure.
### Pair (Top + Bottom)
Choose **Top + Bottom (Set)** for coordinated outfits such as co-ord sets, kurti with pants, tracksuits, or any matching top-and-bottom combination uploaded together. This category is suitable when both pieces are intended to be generated as a complete set.
Top-Bottom should be uploaded together in one frame. Ensure both pieces are clearly visible and not overlapping. For detailed sets, **mannequin or model** shots are preferred. **Hanger images** also work well for structured sets.

# Bulk Process Images
Source: https://docs.getayna.com/how-tos/bulk-process
Bulk Processing helps you manage photoshoots at scale by working on multiple products in one flow. In this, you can do two things: use **Bulk Upload** to upload multiple product images at once, and use **Bulk Generate** to create photoshoots for multiple products in a single action. You can use either feature on its own or combine both to speed up catalog preparation and photoshoot creation.
## How to Bulk Upload your Images
This feature allows you to **upload products in bulk.** Instead of uploading each product one by one, you can prepare your entire product catalog in a single flow, saving time and speeding up large-scale content creation.
### Step 1: Upload products
Go to the **Products** section and upload product images from your computer.
* Choose **Single Product Upload** to upload multiple images for one product
* Choose **Multiple Product Upload** to upload folders, where each folder represents a different product
This step prepares your products for bulk photoshoot generation.
### Step 2: Review uploaded products
Once uploaded, all products will appear in your Products library. Each product is now ready to be selected for photoshoot creation.
## How to Bulk Generate Photoshoots
Bulk Generation allows you to **create photoshoots for multiple products at the same time**. Once your product images are uploaded and ready, you can select several products and generate photoshoots in one action—eliminating the need to process each product individually. This feature is designed for **high-volume workflows**, helping teams generate consistent, high-quality visuals across large catalogs while saving significant time and effort.
### Step 1: Select products for bulk generation
Select one or more products from the list that you want to generate photoshoots for. You can select multiple products at once to process them together.
### Step 2: Create photoshoots in bulk
Click **Create Photoshoot** to start generating photoshoots for all selected products simultaneously. Each selected product will be processed as an individual photoshoot, allowing you to generate visuals at scale in a single action.
# Create a Custom Model
Source: https://docs.getayna.com/how-tos/custom-model
Creating a Custom Model allows you to generate photoshoots using a model that matches your brand's preferred look and identity. Instead of relying only on pre-built models, you can create your own model for more consistent results across campaigns, collections, and product drops. This helps you maintain a cohesive visual style while saving time on repeated model selection.
Follow these steps to create your own custom model in just a few clicks.
## Step 1: Go to Assets and Create Model
Go to the **Assets** section on the left pane and click on **Create Model** to start generating a custom model for your photoshoot.
## Step 2: Select Model Identity
Choose the model's **identity attributes**, including gender, age, ethnicity, body type, and skin tone. These details help define the overall look of your model.
## Step 3: Choose Model Appearance
Customize the model's **appearance** by selecting hair length, hair type, hair color, and other visual features. Once done, click **Proceed** to generate your model.
You will then be prompted to enter a **Model Name** and an optional **Model Description** to identify your model. Once done, click **Start Generation** to create your custom model.
A custom model is generated and added to your library, ready to be selected and used in photoshoots.
# Create Custom Templates
Source: https://docs.getayna.com/how-tos/custom-template
## What are Templates?
Templates are pre-defined photoshoot setups that help you create consistent visuals at scale. You can choose from our library of **150+ pre-saved templates** or create your own **Custom Templates** for different garment categories, each with a fixed combination of models, poses, backgrounds, and styling.
## Benefits of Custom Templates
* **Saves time:** Avoid selecting models, poses, and backdrops manually for every garment.
* **Ensures consistency:** Maintain the same visual identity across SKUs.
* **Brand-specific output:** Create unique looks aligned with your brand language.
* **Flexible editing:** Modify template elements anytime as your needs evolve.
## Credit Consumption of Templates
Templates do not have a fixed cost, Credits are consumed based on the **number of poses added**:
* **1 pose = 5 credits,** so if you wish to create 4 poses in a template = 20 credits. There is no limit to the number of poses in a template.
You can edit existing templates without additional charges, However, adding new poses will consume **5 credits per pose**. Other elements like model, footwear, or accessories can be adjusted without additional template charges.
## Step 1: Select Your Product
Go to the **Assets** section and select **Templates**. Click on Create Template, select the **segment** and **garment category** (e.g., Women – Top Wear), select your product from the library or upload product images (front/back views).
Once the product images are selected, click **Next Step: Select Models** to continue.
## Step 2: Select Model, Background and Poses
**A) Choose Model -** Filter by Gender, Age, Ethnicity, Body Type, or Hair Type and select the best fit. The model will appear in Input References.
**B) Choose Background -** Pick from Indoor, Outdoor, Studio, or Catalogue, or upload/paste your own images that complements your brand theme.
**C) Choose Poses -** Select up to 10 poses using All, Front, Back, or Side filters. Chosen poses will appear in Output Slots.
Once you have finalized your selection, click on **Select Style** to continue.
## Step 3: Select Style
Enhance your look by adding matching items such as **Accessories, Footwear, and Bottom Wear**.
* **Bottom Wear:** Keep the original garment, upload a custom pair (front & back), or choose from the available library options. This feature is available only when you select **top wear.**
* **Footwear:** Select shoes from the library or upload custom footwear to match your style.
* **Accessories:** Choose from categories like Necklace, Earrings, Ring, or Bracelet to complement the outfit.
You can switch between **Library** and **Custom** (where available) to upload your own assets.
Selected items will appear in the **Input References** section on the right.
Once you have finalized your selections, click **Next Step: Review** to continue.
## Step 4: Review & Name Your Template
Review all your selected details, including **Model, Background, Poses, and Styles**, to ensure everything looks correct. You can also make changes if needed by clicking the **edit icon** next to each section.
Once you're satisfied, click **Create Template**, enter a suitable name for the product category so it's easy to find later, and then click **Create Template** again to proceed.
Your reusable template is now ready! You can use it anytime from the **Asset** section to quickly create consistent product photoshoots.

## Step 1: Choose Your Product & Photoshoot Specifications
Click on **"Start a Photoshoot"** on the home page to begin creating your virtual photoshoot. Select the garment category and gender. Ayna also lets you generate **marketplace-ready** images for platforms like Myntra, Nykaa Fashion, Amazon, and even custom ratios, eliminating the need for manual resizing or cropping.
Upload images of your products, or choose from Ayna's in-built sample products to explore the platform and try different garment options like — fit type → slim, regular, relaxed, or oversized, tucked-in or tucked-out styles. After uploading your garment images, you can either select a template or proceed manually.
## Step 2: Choose your Photoshoot Design
After your input is processed successfully, you need to choose your photoshoot design, including poses, models, backgrounds, etc. There are 2 ways to proceed:
### Method (a): Proceed with Templates
Templates offer pre-saved inputs with predefined models, backdrops, and poses, which you can review before generating any images. You can choose a template of your choice, either from our pre-built library of 150+, or your own custom templates, and proceed to the Review Page.

You can customise any of these options, and once satisfied, click **Generate** to create your images.
### Method (b): Choose your Photoshoot Design (Manual)
Using pre-saved templates is optional. You can also proceed with your photoshoot manually, gaining complete creative freedom over your photoshoot. You will start with selecting a model: Ayna offers a wide range of models across Menswear, Womenswear, and Kidswear, with filters for age and ethnicity to match your brand. You can also create your own custom model if you have specific requirements.
After selecting your model, choose a background. Ayna offers a wide range of options, from clean studio backdrops to outdoor locations, allowing you to match the mood and garment category. You can again upload your custom background to have a more personalised shoot.
Then, you need to select poses from our vast pose library. Select the desired poses for your photoshoot. Choose from multiple angles and close-up options, including front, back, side, and full-body shots, based on the garment style.
The last stage is styling: you can choose a pairing garment from Ayna's Style Library or upload a garment of your own, especially for top-wear styling.
You can also select footwear from the available options or upload a new one to complete the look for your photoshoot.
Lastly, you can select accessories for detailed styling. We provide a huge jewellery library to enhance your overall photoshoot.
After adding all inputs, click **Review** to proceed to the final steps.
## Step 3: Review your Selections
Once you proceed either manually or with templates, you will land on the final review page. Here, you can align on all the inputs and make last-minute changes, if any.
Voilà! Your photoshoot is ready. Click on **Photoshoots** to view your final outputs and reorder them as per your requirements.

# FAQs

## Getting started
**How does Ayna Studio work?**\
Ayna uses AI to generate fashion photoshoots based on your input image and selected styling (backgrounds, models, poses, accessories, etc.). The output is designed to closely reflect the garment, pose, and details visible in your input. It is highly customisable while still being easy-to-use.
**What is Ayna best suited for?**\
Ayna works best for creating consistent, high-quality fashion images at scale. It's especially useful for catalogue, lifestyle, and campaign shoots where speed and consistency matter.
**What is Ayna not designed to do?**\
Ayna isn't meant for redesigning garments or inventing new details. It focuses on translating what you upload into clean, usable photoshoots. You can explore real images generated using Ayna that are live on marketplaces and client websites.

## Input images & setup
**How should I think about my input image when using Ayna?**\
Your input image acts as the visual reference for the AI. The clearer and more complete it is, the closer the output will be to what you expect.
**What kind of input image works best?**\
Clean flat-lay, mannequin, or on-model images with the garment clearly visible work best. Clear and well-framed inputs usually lead to more accurate results. Display all elements of the garment properly, and upload multiple product views so Ayna can give you a better output.
**Can Ayna adjust or improve garment details?**\
Ayna works by following the details shown in your input image. It can't directly change your input image and will try to retain as much detail as possible. For best results, make sure important elements like beadings, logos, or patterns are clearly visible in the upload.
***
## Outputs & accuracy
**Why do some garment details look different than expected?**\
This often comes down to how the garment appears in the input image. If certain details aren't clearly visible or are positioned differently in the input, the output may reflect that.
**Why might part of the garment be missing or look incomplete?**\
This can happen if the uploaded image and the selected generation setup don't fully align (e.g. uploading a top while selecting a full outfit or bottom wear).
**Why does the output stay close to the input image?**\
Ayna treats your input image as the primary reference. This keeps the output consistent and aligned with your original garment and prevents the AI from hallucination.
**How accurately does Ayna handle fine details?**\
Accuracy depends on how clearly those details appear in the input image. Smaller or more complex elements may vary slightly in the output.
**Can I change the model's face expression or mood?**\
Not at the moment. Model expressions are currently fixed; we're working on expanding this in the future.
***
## Refining your images
**What can I do if the output is not generated correctly?**\
Click the **three dots (⋮)** on the generated image. You can **Regenerate (recommended)** or **Send for Edits**.
**What does Regenerate do?**\
Regenerate creates a fresh AI version using the same inputs and styling. It's free and does not deduct credits (regeneration limits depend on your plan).
**What happens when I send an image for edits?**\
The image is submitted for manual review by our team. Turnaround time depends on your plan and availability.
***
## Templates & consistency
**What are templates in Ayna Studio?**\
Templates help maintain a consistent look across multiple images. They lock key styling elements so future generations follow the same visual direction.
**Do I need to create all templates from scratch?**\
No. Ayna Studio includes **150+ pre-built templates** you can use right away. Saved templates can be reused for new images with the same styling.
***
## Credits, plans & watermarks
**Does regenerating an image use credits?**\
No. Regeneration is free; the number of regenerations allowed depends on your plan.
**Why do some images have a watermark?**\
Images generated on the free plan include a watermark. Upgrading to a paid plan removes watermarks from newly generated images. You can compare plans: [Pricing](https://studio.getayna.com/plans?utm_source=repo\&utm_medium=faq\&utm_campaign=pricing)
**How do Ayna plans work overall?**\
Ayna plans are credit-based. Each plan gives you a set of credits, features access, and turnaround timelines. There is no subscription—pay per credit. Higher plans offer more usage, faster edit turnaround, more regenerations, and team features. You can upgrade at any time.
