What is an AI flat lay generator?

It turns your individual product photos into one styled, top-down scene. You upload each item, describe how you want them arranged, and the AI removes the backgrounds, composes the shot, and renders natural lighting and shadows, a finished flat lay in seconds, with no photographer or studio.

Frequently asked questions

What is an AI flat lay generator?
An AI flat lay generator arranges your product photos into a top-down, styled composition automatically. You upload individual product images, describe how you want them arranged, and the AI cuts out each item, positions it, and renders consistent lighting and shadows, a finished flat lay in seconds.
What types of products work best for flat lays?
Flat Lay Studio works with any product: cosmetics, accessories, food, tech gadgets, stationery, and apparel accessories. Items with clear shapes and distinct colours produce the most striking compositions.
Do I need to remove backgrounds before uploading?
No. The AI automatically removes the background from each product photo during processing. Upload your images as-is and the AI handles the cutout.
Can I customise the background?
Yes. Describe the surface or backdrop you want, marble, wood, fabric, or a solid colour, in the Arrangement & Position field, and the AI renders it to match your brand.
How many credits does Flat Lay Studio cost?
Each flat lay generation costs 5 credits. The cost is shown before you confirm, so you always know it upfront.
How many products can I include in one flat lay?
Up to 12 products in a single composition. The AI adjusts spacing and sizing automatically to keep the arrangement balanced regardless of item count.
What resolution are the generated flat lays?
Flat lays export at high resolution suitable for social media (1080×1080 for Instagram) and print (up to 4K). You choose the output size.
