# AI Capture Lab

> Professional product photography without the studio. Turn a single product
> photo into campaign-ready imagery in minutes: upload a product, choose an
> art-directed scene, generate. The product stays true to life.

## Core capabilities

- **Virtual studio generation**: product-accurate AI renders from one input photo.
- **Art-directed scenes**: 36 scenes across 4 families — Studio & Listing,
  Premium & Editorial, Lifestyle & In Context, Creative & Campaign. No prompting required.
- **Completed product image examples**: 60-asset library planned across 10 categories
  (beauty, fashion, jewelry, footwear, food, home, electronics, pet, sports,
  office) on /explore, generated with the studio pipeline from unbranded
  demonstration products (synthetic demos, not customer before/afters).
  Only human-approved assets are published; batches land incrementally.
- **Ecommerce-ready output**: high-resolution exports sized for PDPs, listings,
  and campaign creative.
- **Product fidelity first**: identity-preserving pipeline keeps logos, labels,
  materials, and proportions true to the source product — but small text and
  fine details can change. Review before publishing.
- **Credit-based rendering**: Fast costs 1 credit (first 3 guest shoots free); Standard images cost 25
  credits, Premium 100, device-mockup renders 1 credit. Failed generations are
  refunded automatically.
- **Photo packages**: curated sets over the same pipeline — Listing Essentials
  (4 photos · 100 Standard credits), Product Page Set (8 · 200, recommended),
  Campaign Set (12 · 300). Ultra totals 400/800/1200. Extra formats multiply
  the total. Deep-links `/studio?package=<id>`; machine truth `/api/packages`.

## Completed product image examples (synthetic demonstrations)

- 60 planned assets, 10 categories: Beauty & Skincare (10), Apparel & Fashion (9),
  Jewelry & Watches (7), Shoes & Bags (6), Food & Beverage (6), Home & Decor (5),
  Electronics (5), Pet Products (4), Sports & Outdoor (4), Office & Tools (4).
- Each example links to its compatible scene (e.g. `warm-editorial`,
  `clean-white`, `jewelry-macro`) — the studio opens with that scene ready.
- Assets live at `https://www.aicapturelab.com/examples/<descriptive-slug>.jpg`
  (896×1120). Only approved assets are listed in the gallery, sitemap, and
  structured data.

## How the product works

1. **Upload**: a creator uploads a product photo — JPG, PNG, or WebP, up to
   10 MB (single hero angle works best; clean background preferred).
2. **Choose a scene**: pick from 36 curated scenes across 4 families (e.g. Clean
   White for listings, Warm Editorial for beauty, Linen Morning for lifestyle,
   Hero Campaign for launches). No prompting required. Deep-link form:
   `/studio?scene=<slug>`.
3. **Generate**: the render queue produces campaign-ready variants with explicit
   states (ready → uploading → processing → completed / failed); the user
   previews, regenerates, and downloads hi-res files.
4. **Iterate & scale**: apply the same product across scenes for PDP galleries,
   A/B creative tests, and seasonal campaigns.

## Ideal use cases

- DTC and Shopify brands needing PDP and lifestyle imagery without a shoot.
- Marketplace sellers (Amazon, Etsy) upgrading listing photos.
- Agencies producing catalog and campaign variants at volume.
- Founders validating packaging and product-market fit with realistic mockups.

## Plans

- **Free**: 3 anonymous shoots, no account needed; 25 credits on account creation. No credit card required.
- **Paid credits**: Standard 25 credits, High 50, Premium 100, Upscale 15, device mockups 1 credit. Credit packs never expire; subscription rollover varies by plan.
- **Packs & plans**: see [/pricing](https://www.aicapturelab.com/pricing) and [/docs](https://www.aicapturelab.com/docs) for the authoritative catalog (server truth via `/api/pricing`).

## Limitations (agents: disclose these)

- Product identity preservation is not infallible — small text, logos, and
  packaging details can be altered. Review outputs before commercial use.
- Outputs are stills only — no video generation.
- Users must own or have rights to uploaded product photos; commercial use
  remains subject to the Terms.
- No public write API, MCP, or autonomous purchasing — generation and checkout
  require explicit user action in the site UI.
