  • Model
    Choose a model from the pre-made list or select Custom to upload your own.

  • Pose
    Choose a pose for the model from the list.

  • Quality
    Choose the image resolution:

    • Standard
      1k resolution, requires Pro subscription, consumes less AI credits.

    • Advanced
      2k resolution, requires Max subscription, consumes more AI credits.

      4k+ resolution, requires Ultra subscription, consumes most AI credits.

  • Background

  • Size
    Choose the size and orientation for the image.

  • Apply brand style
    Choose whether your Brand description (set in the Brand Kit) should influence the AI when it generates your images.

    Note: If you make changes to the description here, they also apply in the brand kit and will affect the entire Space.

  • Prompt
    Enter any other information for the AI, for example, "show top half of model, focus on t-shirt. Promotional image for t-shirt."

When you have made your choices:

  1. Select Generate to create an image. Each generation uses AI credits.

  2. [Optional] Create alternative images by changing the Virtual Model settings and then selecting Generate.


Stage 3: Generate images from different angles [optional]

You can generate more versions of an image, with the model shown from different angles and in different poses:

  1. Position the cursor over an image and select its context menu ( ... ).

  2. Select the Other angles option.
    Photoroom generates another image. Each generation uses AI credits.

  3. Repeat these steps to generate more angles.

You can download each image by selecting the context menu and then Download.

Note: You can also create a video from an image. From the context menu, select Generate video. This opens the Video Generator, which has the same options as the standalone Video Generator tool.
