Are AI-generated product images allowed on Takealot and Amazon?

Yes, with limits. Amazon explicitly permits AI background removal, colour correction, lighting adjustments, upscaling, and resizing, but prohibits synthetic products and deceptive composites and requires disclosure when content is substantially AI-generated. Takealot has no published prohibition on AI imagery — AI uses that respect Takealot's image specification (white background, correct dimensions, accurate product representation) are permitted.

Where can I use images generated in AI Image Studio?

Anywhere visuals sell. Use them as Takealot listing main images and gallery images, Makro Marketplace product images, Amazon main and secondary images, Shopify and WooCommerce product detail pages, Facebook and Instagram ad creatives, and Google Shopping feed images. Every image generated in the Studio is yours to use across every platform you sell or advertise on.

What size should Takealot product images be?

Takealot requires product images between 600x600 and 2048x2048 pixels, in sRGB colour mode, as JPG or PNG, under 2 MB, on a pure white background (#ffffff). The product should fill 85-95% of the frame. Takealot recommends at least 5 images per listing.

Does the AI Image Studio replace a professional product photographer?

For listing-grade product images — clean white background, multiple angles, lifestyle context — yes, for most categories. For high-end fashion, on-model photography, and specialised 3D rotation, a photographer is still better. Use AI Image Studio for the 80% of catalogue work that does not need a full studio shoot.

How much does TSeller cost?

TSeller is R199 per month flat with a 14-day free trial and no setup fees. AI Image Studio is included with every TSeller account, with 60 free credits to start. You only pay extra if you generate beyond your monthly credit allocation.

TSeller AI Image Studio — generate studio-quality product photos, lifestyle scenes, and ad creatives for Takealot, Amazon, Shopify, Makro, and WooCommerce listings

If you sell anything online, your product images are your biggest conversion lever. Better image equals more clicks, more sales — on any platform, every time. Today TSeller is launching AI Image Studio: generate studio-quality product photos, lifestyle scenes, and ad creatives in seconds, straight from your TSeller account. No camera. No photographer. No studio. No excuses. Every TSeller account starts with 60 free AI Image Studio credits — no card needed.

Why Product Images Are Your #1 Conversion Lever

On Takealot, Amazon, Makro, Shopify — every marketplace and every ad platform — the first thing a shopper sees is your image. The image decides whether they tap into your listing or scroll past. Better photography lifts click-through rate, conversion rate, Buy Box position, and ad performance all at the same time. The problem with traditional product photography: a studio shoot costs thousands of rand per SKU, takes weeks to schedule, and never scales to a catalogue of hundreds. AI changes that maths completely.

What TSeller AI Image Studio Does

AI Image Studio is built directly into TSeller. Open the Studio from your dashboard, pull a product from your live Takealot, Amazon, Makro, Shopify, or WooCommerce listings, choose a Quick Prompt or write your own, and generate a studio-quality image in seconds. Refine it, download it, and use it anywhere visuals sell — marketplace listings, product detail pages, paid social ads, Google Shopping. One workflow, every channel.

Catalogue Reference — Pull Directly From Your Live Listings

This is what makes TSeller AI Image Studio different to a standalone AI tool. The Studio reads your live catalogue. Every Takealot, Amazon, Makro, Shopify, and WooCommerce product you have connected to TSeller is searchable inside the Studio. Select a listing, click Generate, and the AI works from your actual product — not a stock photo, not a generic upload. No re-uploading product photos every time you want a new creative.

Quick Prompts — Studio Shots, Lifestyle Scenes, Ad Creatives

Quick Prompts is a one-tap library of the image styles every seller needs most. Pure white background shots for Takealot, Makro, and Amazon listings. Lifestyle scenes with realistic backdrops for Shopify and your own website. Bold ad creatives for Facebook, Instagram, and Google Shopping. Crop and aspect-ratio variations for every platform. Tap a prompt, generate, refine. If you have a specific scene in mind, write your own prompt — the model handles natural-language instructions like "matte black background with soft top-down lighting" or "on a marble kitchen counter with morning sun".

Nano Banana Pro vs Nano Banana 2

AI Image Studio runs on two models so you can pick the right tool for each job.

Nano Banana Pro—the higher-quality model. Slower per generation, sharper detail, better at complex scenes and on-product accuracy. Use it for hero shots, listing-grade product photos, and ad creatives where the final image has to be perfect.

Nano Banana 2—the faster, lower-cost model. Great for bulk variations, quick concepts, and exploring different angles before committing to a final render.

Both models live inside the same Studio interface. Switch between them per generation depending on whether you need quality or speed.

Editing, Refining, and Downloading

Generated an image but want it slightly different? Hit Refine. Adjust the prompt, swap the background, change the angle, add a prop, zoom in on a specific feature — the AI re-renders without losing the original product. When the image is right, download it in the format you need and use it on your Takealot listing, your Amazon main image, your Shopify product page, or your next Facebook ad. Every image you generate is yours to use anywhere.

Where to Use Your AI-Generated Images

AI Image Studio is platform-agnostic. The images you generate work everywhere you sell or advertise.

Takealot—listing main images, gallery images, and A+ content

Makro—product images compliant with Makro Marketplace's spec

Amazon—main image, secondary images, lifestyle shots, infographics

Shopify and WooCommerce—product detail pages, banners, collection thumbnails

Facebook and Instagram ads—scroll-stopping creatives for paid social

Google Shopping—high-quality product images for the Shopping feed

If visuals sell on the platform, AI Image Studio outputs work for it.

Pricing — 60 Free Credits Per Account

Every TSeller account starts with 60 free AI Image Studio credits. No card. No commitment. Use them across Nano Banana Pro and Nano Banana 2 to explore the Studio at your own pace. When you need more credits, top-ups are available at fair, transparent ZAR pricing. AI Image Studio sits inside TSeller's flat R199 per month subscription — every other TSeller feature stays included, you only top up if you generate beyond your monthly credit allocation.

Conclusion

Studio-quality product photos used to mean a five-thousand-rand shoot, a week of scheduling, and zero scalability. TSeller AI Image Studio kills all three at once. Open the Studio, pull a product from your live catalogue, generate a hero shot in seconds, use it everywhere visuals sell. Start your free 14-day TSeller trial at https://tseller.co.za and your 60 free AI Image Studio credits are waiting on the other side. No camera, no photographer, no studio, no excuses.
