A clean, honest product photo from your phone

Shoot one product by a window, let a free AI assistant tidy the background, and check that the product itself did not change.

In this lesson
  1. Window, paper, wipe
  2. Let AI tidy the scene, not the product
  3. The four-point truth check
  4. Where this product goes next

Example: Marivic Dela Cruz sells personalized tumblers from home in Calamba, Laguna, on Shopee and her Facebook Page. Her photos were shot at night under the tube light: the sage green looks gray, and the name on the decal is unreadable.

Today: one clear, honest photo of one product, tidied by AI and checked by you. Hindi ka techy? Okay lang 'yan.

Window, paper, wipe

Pick your hero product: one item in stock and within reach that you want to sell more of. The whole course uses it. Three rules:

  1. Window. Daylight from the side. No flash, no ceiling light.
  2. Paper. White paper or cartolina against the wall, curving down under the product.
  3. Wipe. Wipe the lens, fill the frame, tap the product to focus.

Then take the five shots buyers need: front, side or back, one detail, the product in your hand for size, and everything included.

Let AI tidy the scene, not the product

Use ChatGPT or Gemini for this step. Most people here have tried ChatGPT; Gemini needs the fewest sign-in steps on Android.

  1. Install ChatGPT (by OpenAI) or Google Gemini (by Google LLC). No space? Open chatgpt.com or gemini.google.com in your browser.
  2. Sign in with the Google account already on your phone, or with your e-mail. A code by text or e-mail is normal. No payment is needed.
  3. Tap the plus sign beside the message box and choose your photo. Tap Copy on the card below, long-press the message box, tap Paste, and replace everything in [brackets].
Clean up my product photo
This is a real photo of my product: [what it is, for example "a 20 oz tumbler with a printed name decal"].
Edit this photo. Do not create a new product.
1. Keep the product exactly as it is: same shape, size, color, letters, logo, and small flaws. Do not redraw or improve it.
2. Change only the background: make it [plain white / light gray / a simple wooden table].
3. Make the light soft and even, with a gentle shadow under the product.
4. Keep the whole product in a square picture, with space around it.
5. Add nothing: no text, no watermark, no props, no people.
If you cannot keep the product identical, tell me instead of guessing.
If any [bracket] above is still empty, ask me for it before you answer.

To save the result, tap it, then the download or share button.

The four-point truth check

An edit can quietly change your product, and a photo nicer than the real item brings returns and angry reviews. Compare it with the real thing:

  1. Color: same shade?
  2. Shape and size: same proportions?
  3. Letters: every letter right?
  4. Nothing added or missing.

Marivic's first result had the right shape, but the sage green turned mint and "Andrea" became "Andreia". The retry line below fixed it. She saved both in her "Shop Kit" album; the untouched original will be her second listing photo.

Tip

Retry once: The [letters / color / shape] changed. Use my original photo and keep [what must stay the same] exactly as it is. Change only the background.

Still wrong, or asked to wait? Use your real photo, cropped and brightened in your phone's editor. Then ask the coach what to improve.

Photo coach (when the edit does not work)
I sell [product] on [Shopee, Lazada, TikTok Shop, or my Facebook Page]. Look at this photo as a buyer scrolling on a phone.
1. Name the three things that make it less clear or less trustworthy.
2. Tell me exactly how to reshoot it at home with a window and things I already own.
3. List the other angles a buyer of this product needs before ordering.
Do not edit the image. Reply in clear, simple English. Short sentences. Plain text only, no asterisks.
If any [bracket] above is still empty, ask me for it before you answer.

Sa Pilipinas

Check your marketplace's image guide in the seller app. The safe default is a real photo of the real item on a plain background, with nothing changed on the product itself. Keep your original photo. The law points the same way: the Internet Transactions Act of 2023 (Republic Act 11967) says goods must arrive in the same condition, type, quantity, and quality as the picture you showed. General information lang ito, hindi legal advice.

Note

Every prompt in this course works the same way: you tell the assistant who you are, what you need, what it must know, and how the answer should look — the [brackets] do that for you. What comes back is a draft: check names, numbers, prices, and dates yourself, and keep passwords, ID numbers, and other people's details out of the chat. The course "AI sa Trabaho: Bawiin ang Oras Mo" teaches these basics step by step.

As of November 2026

ChatGPT's free plan lists image generation and uploads as "Limited"; Gemini without a plan lists image generation. Claude's free plan does not list picture-making. On the free plan, as of November 2026, you can finish every lesson in this course. Check the current limits in the app.

Where this product goes next

This product now gets a listing, a week of posts, ready replies, a short video, a review check, and a margin sheet, all saved in your Shop Kit: one note and one album. Totoo lang tayo: AI makes confident mistakes, so every lesson ends with you checking. This course will not find you a product, answer customers for you, or promise more orders.

Three takeaways

  • Window, paper, wipe: a good real photo comes before any AI.
  • AI tidies the scene, never the product.
  • Color, shape, letters, nothing added: check before you post.
