A catalogue where every product has a different model does not read as a brand — it reads as a marketplace. Upload your own model once, save it, and every shot from then on inherits the same person.
Look at any catalogue you trust and the same person is in most of it. That is not an aesthetic preference; it is the signal that the collection was commissioned rather than assembled. Rotate the face every row and a shopper reads the page as a reseller's grid, whatever the clothes are worth.
Generative tools default to the opposite behaviour. Every run is independent, so every run produces a plausible but different person, and a fifty-piece drop ends up looking like fifty unrelated listings that happen to share a logo.
A saved model fixes the identity at the source. The face, the build and the styling stop being something the generator decides each time and become something your account owns.
Yourself, a house model, a friend who has agreed to it. Full-body, front-facing and standing works best — the closer to a catalogue pose, the better the result.
The saved model appears in the picker beside the built-in catalogue. There is no re-upload per generation and no re-describing who they are.
Pick it in the app, or pass its id through the API, and the whole run — single, bulk or e-commerce pack — is photographed on that person.
The face and build from your photo are kept; the clothing in it is replaced by your garment. That is what makes one upload serve an entire season of different products.
Enough for a house model plus alternates, or — for an agency — a distinct saved look for each of twenty clients, kept apart and picked per job.
A saved model has an id you can pass on every API call, which is what makes a 400-SKU run assembled over three weeks still look like one shoot.
The trio is deliberate: a saved model, a saved background and a saved pose together define a house look that a new team member can reproduce without being told what it is.
Saving a model is free and referencing it is free. You pay the normal generation credits and nothing else.
On the free and Starter plans the picker shows this as an upgrade rather than hiding it, because finding out that consistency was possible three months later is worse than being told now.

Custom backgrounds and pose reference share the same Pro gate — see custom backgrounds and pose reference.
Pro and above. The free and Starter plans generate against the built-in catalogue of 58 models, which is the full catalogue — nothing in it is held back for paid plans. What Pro adds is uploading your own model and saving it for reuse.
Full-body, front-facing and standing, as close to a catalogue pose as you can manage, with even lighting. A plain background is preferable but a busy one still works, because the background is replaced anyway.
No. The person's face and build are what is preserved; the outfit in your uploaded photo is replaced by the garment you are generating. That is why one upload can carry an entire season of different products.
Up to 20 per account. For a brand that is a house model plus alternates; for an agency it is a distinct saved look for each of up to twenty clients.
No. Saving is free and referencing a saved model on a generation is free. You pay only the normal generation cost — one credit at HD, two at 2K, four at 4K.
Yes. A saved model can be chosen for a batch of up to 20 garments and for a full marketplace pose pack, which is exactly where consistency matters most.
Yes. Each saved model has an id you pass on the call, so an automated catalogue run uses the same person as everything generated before it. API keys are issued from the Business plan up.
You should have their agreement before uploading a photo of someone else, the same as you would for any commercial shoot. CatalogX does not supply releases and cannot verify consent on your behalf.
