With the Batch feature, you can apply AI-generated shadows to multiple images at once. It is a quick and convenient way of making your product photos look more three-dimensional and realistic.

Steps (Android)

To apply AI Shadows to a batch of images:

  1. Create a batch of images or select Batch and then Resume previous batch.

  2. Select AI Shadows.​

  3. On the Presets tab, choose one of the shadow styles:
    ​

    • None
      No shadow.
      ​

    • Soft
      Light shadow.
      ​

    • Hard
      Strong, angled shadow.
      ​

    • Floating
      Shadow below object.
      ​

  4. [Max and Ultra only] Use the Custom tab to fine-tune the AI Shadow. There are several options (explained below).
    ​

    • Auto
      Photoroom automatically sets the shadow position based on its analysis of your image.
      ​

    • Upright
      Tells Photoroom the object is standing vertically on its base. Photoroom then applies the shadow at the bottom of the object.
      ​

    • Flat
      Tells Photoroom the object is laid flat on a horizontal surface. Photoroom then applies the shadow around the sides of the object. This is top-down or low-angle photography, commonly used with flat lay product images.
      ​

    • Intensity
      Controls the darkness of the shadow. Ranges from light gray shadows to deep almost-black shadows.
      ​

    • Softness
      Controls the sharpness of the shadow. Ranges from soft, blurry, dissipated shadows to dense shadows with defined edges.
      ​

    • Direction
      Controls where the shadow falls around the object. The slider represents a full 360° around the object, with positions such as Left, Center, Back. You can also control Direction by moving the black circle icon on the preview.
      ​

    • Spread
      Controls the length of the shadow. Ranges from Short for a tight, compact shadow to Long for a more extended, stretched shadow. You can also control Spread by moving the black circle icon on the preview.
      ​
      ​

  5. Select the checkmark to confirm.

​Note: On Android, you can only apply AI Shadows to the entire batch. You cannot apply the AI Shadows to a selection of the images in the batch.

Troubleshooting

If selecting None fails to remove the AI Shadow, try using the Undo feature to revert to a version of the image that had no shadow.
