Use Product Staging to generate images that show your product being used in realistic situations. Product Staging changes the background of the image and usually adds a human element, which can be anything from hands touching your product to a human wearing or interacting with it.
How it works:
You upload or choose an image to use with the Product Staging tool. This is the source image.
You use the settings to guide Photoroom so that it can create the image you want.
Photoroom generates an image based on your image and choices.
You can then use the generated image as is or you can open it in the main editor to make further changes. You can also generate variations, if needed.
For step-by-step instructions, see Workflows in Related content (below).
How is Product Staging different from other background tools?
Product Staging is designed to be a more creative background tool. It puts your product in a realistic scene and may change its lighting, position, size, and zoom level. Often, Product Staging adds humans to the image too.
The following table shows a comparison of the main AI tools for changing backgrounds in Photoroom:
Background tool | Can change the background | Can change the foreground | Adds "human element" |
AI Scenes | Yes | Yes, but minimal changes for added realism | No |

Source image
Product Staging needs a source image to use as a starting point. Depending on where you accessed the AI tool, you can:
Upload a photo
Select from recent uploads or AI generated images
Choose an image that already exists in Photoroom
Take a photo and upload it (mobile only)
Use an AI tool to generate an image (mobile only)
Select an image in a Batch
Select a product image in the Product editor (integration, such as Photoroom for Shopify).
To learn about adding images, see:
Quality
The Quality setting affects image resolution, detail, AI credit usage, and how long the image takes to generate. For details, see Set the Quality of AI images.
Aspect ratio
This is sometimes labeled as Size. Use it to set the aspect ratio (shape) of the image, see Set the Aspect Ratio of AI images.
Brand (or Brand style)
Use to control whether the Brand description influences the AI when it generates your images. For details, see Control the influence of the Brand description.
Prompt
Use the prompt field to enter any other information for the AI, for example, "Show my product being used outdoors."
For tips on writing prompts, see Write more effective prompts for AI.
Context menu settings
Each generated image has a context menu that contains options for working further with the image. For example, the standalone AI tools have options for creating variations and generating a video (depending on the Space subscription).
The context menu settings are common to all AI tools. The options available vary depending on whether you are using a standalone tool or an AI tool in the Batch editor or product catalog editor. You can learn about them in Context menu options for AI tools.
Review and edit settings
The review and edit screen only applies when using the standalone AI tools.
When you are ready to use an AI image, select it to display the review and edit settings. From here, you can download the image to use, make final changes, or open it in the main editor to make manual changes such as add text or graphics.
The review and edit settings are common to all standalone AI tools. You can learn about them in Review and edit an AI image.
