The Flat lay tool uses AI to turn a photo of clothing into a high quality image of the clothing laid flat. Just upload your photo, choose a size, and let the AI create flat images. They are perfect for presenting clothes in marketplace listings and on social media.
Note: When using Flat lay, be aware that the AI interprets the clothing in your photo. The generated images should be similar to the photo, but may not be an exact match.
Availability:
Pro and Max
Limits:
Flat Lay is an Image Transformation Tool. There are limits to how many Flat Lay images you can generate per week (see AI generation limits).

(Video shows Photoroom on iPhone. AI image generation has been speeded up).
Select Content.
Select the workspace you want to work in.
Select AI Tools.
Select Flat lay.
If you don't see the Flat Lay option, select the See more button to get a full list of the AI tools.
Set the Size of the image that Photoroom will create. Choose from:
Square
Portrait (3:2 ratio)
Landscape (3:2 ratio).
Select Add your photo and upload a clothing photo.
Select the arrow button to generate 2 images.
It should take approximately 1 minute to complete and the progress is shown as percentages.
When you have 2 images, select the one you want to use.
If there is an image that is close to what you want, select it as you can use AI to edit it later. This is often more effective than generating completely different AI images.
If the images are not close to what you want, select the arrow button to make alternatives. Note that there is a limit on how many images you can generate.
Use Remove background to include or exclude the background from the design.
If you remove the background, you will get a design that has no background and your clothing image on another layer. Later, you'll be able to add a background of your own choice, such as a color background or an AI background.
If you keep the background, you will get the entire AI image, including its current background, on a single layer.
[Optional] To make changes to the image select Change something and then use the following options:
Use Retouch to remove parts of the image. Draw over the area you want to delete. Use the slider to change the brush size. Select Confirm when you have finished.
To learn more about Retouch, see Remove unwanted objects with the Retouch tool.
Select Edit with AI and enter a description of the changes you want. Select the arrow button to generate a new image.
