Frequently Asked Questions
Everything about ghost mannequin generation, photo preparation, image privacy, and credits.
Getting started
What is a ghost mannequin photo?
A ghost mannequin (invisible mannequin) photo shows a garment with a natural 3D shape and hollow interior — as if an invisible model were wearing it. Necklines, sleeves, and structure stay visible without any mannequin, model, or person appearing in the shot. It is the standard for professional apparel product listings.
How does StyleGPT create these photos?
You upload a garment photo — a flat lay, a mannequin shot, or a model shot. Our AI reconstructs the garment on an invisible mannequin form: it removes the mannequin or model, rebuilds the interior (neckline, collar, fabric behind buttons), and outputs a clean e-commerce packshot with studio lighting.
Do I need photography equipment or a mannequin?
No. That is the point. A reasonably clean photo of the garment taken with a phone under even lighting is enough. No mannequin, no studio, no lighting kit, no retoucher.
What garment types are supported?
T-shirts, shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts, jackets, coats, blazers, dresses, skirts, pants, jeans, and most folded or hanging apparel. Accessories like hats and bags also work well.
How long does one generation take?
Typically 20–60 seconds per image, depending on garment complexity and current demand. Progress is shown live in the studio.
Generation & quality
What kind of source photo gives the best result?
Even, diffuse lighting; the garment fully visible and not cut off; minimal heavy wrinkles; neutral or plain background helps. We published a full guide: How to Prepare Clothing Photos for AI Editing.
Can I generate from a flat lay photo?
Yes. Flat lay (garment laid flat, shot from above) works well — the AI rebuilds depth and volume so the final image looks like a 3D invisible-mannequin shot. See our flat lay vs ghost mannequin comparison for when each style fits.
The result has artifacts — what can I do?
First improve the input: smooth wrinkles, use brighter even lighting, make sure the whole garment is in frame. Then regenerate. Credits are not consumed for technically failed runs, so retrying a failure costs you nothing.
What resolution are the generated images?
Outputs are generated at e-commerce listing resolution, suitable for Shopify, Amazon, and major marketplaces. Upload the highest resolution source you have for the sharpest results — we accept photos up to a few megabytes.
Can I change the background or generate color variants?
Yes. The Background Remover produces transparent PNGs for marketplaces, and the Color Variant Generator produces the same garment in multiple colorways from one photo.
Privacy & security
Are my uploaded images used to train AI models?
No. Your uploaded images and generated results are never used to train our models or any third-party model. Full details are in our Privacy Policy.
Does anyone at StyleGPT see my photos?
No. Processing is fully automated end to end. There is no human review step in the generation pipeline.
I upload unreleased products — how are they protected?
We built the service knowing merchants upload next season's samples. Images are never published, displayed in a gallery, or shared. They are processed transiently and automatically deleted after generation.
How long are my images stored?
Source images and results are automatically deleted from active storage shortly after generation completes. Nothing is kept in a long-term image archive.
How do I request deletion of an image?
Email support@stylegpt.app with the subject "Image deletion request". Residual copies (for example in transient provider buffers) are purged as a priority.
Pricing & credits
Is there a free tier?
Yes — new accounts include complimentary credits so you can evaluate results on your own garments before paying anything.
How do credits work?
One credit = one successful generation. Failed runs (errors, timeouts, broken output) are automatically refunded to your balance — you never lose a credit to a technical failure. See the Refund & Credit Policy.
Do purchased credits expire?
No. Paid credits stay in your account while the service is operational. Unused credits are refundable within 14 days of purchase.
Can I use the generated photos commercially?
Yes. Generated images are licensed for full commercial use: your store, marketplaces, ads, social media, and print. You must own the rights to the photos you upload. Details in the Terms of Service.
