How CatalogX Helps

From supplier photo to Etsy listing gallery

No model, no studio, no shipping garments to a photographer abroad.

Upload the garment

A flat-lay, a hanger shot, or your supplier's catalog photo — tags, pins and packaging are removed automatically.

Pick a model & scene

40+ models across skin tones and 50+ backgrounds. The AI understands saree drape, kurti slits and dupatta placement — it doesn't guess.

Fill all 10 photo slots

The ecommerce pack generates front, angled and detail shots in one run. Add embroidery close-ups with HD upscale.


Why Etsy Sellers Use CatalogX

Built for ethnic wear, priced for sellers

Ethnic wear is the specialty, not an afterthought

Generic AI tools turn a kurti into a western dress and smooth embroidery into mush. CatalogX has dedicated generation logic for sarees, lehengas, kurta sets, blouses and dupattas.

A fraction of a photoshoot

A single US studio session costs $300+. A CatalogX image costs under 20¢ — and you can refresh your whole shop for the price of one shoot's deposit.

Consistent models across your shop

Use the same model and scene across every listing so your shop page reads like one brand, not a reseller's collage.

Colour variants without re-listing photography

Same lehenga in five colours? Generate colour variants from one photo — one credit each, identical pose and lighting.


FAQ

Etsy product photos FAQ

CatalogX is built for Indian ethnic wear specifically: saree drape and pallu placement, kurti side slits with churidar pairing, and zari, sequin and mirror work reproduced sharply rather than smoothed away.

Etsy allows 10 photos per listing and full galleries convert best: on-model front and back, drape detail, embroidery close-up, and a flat reference. CatalogX's ecommerce pack generates a multi-angle set from one upload.
