Australian labels, eBay and Etsy sellers, Depop shops and Shopify stores use CatalogX to turn flat lays into on-model photography — whenever the samples land, wherever you are, with no studio to book and nothing to ship anywhere.
An Australian label drops summer while most of the world is in coats, and transitional pieces while the northern hemisphere is thinking about swimwear. That mismatch shows up in small, expensive ways: the stock imagery available for your category is off-cycle, the seasonal templates in most listing tools assume the opposite half of the year, and when you do want a studio, so does every other brand in your market in exactly the same fortnight.
Then there is distance. Not everyone selling clothing online in Australia is in a capital city with studios to choose from. Getting a rail to a photographer and back is a freight cost and a week of not having the stock, and for a seller in a regional town it may simply not be practical at all.
Generating the images removes both constraints at once. There is no seasonal stock library involved — your own garment photo is the source — and there is nothing to send anywhere, because the whole job runs from a phone photo of the piece on a hanger.
A flat lay, a hanger shot or a mannequin photo taken on a phone, plus the back view and a matching bottom where the look needs them.
Choose a model, pose and backdrop from the catalogue, or on Pro and above upload and save your own so the whole range shares one look.
One master image resized and padded for eBay, Etsy, Amazon, Shopify, Depop, Poshmark, TikTok Shop and Instagram, with AI-provenance metadata written into the file.
Australian credit and debit cards work, and the charge is made in US dollars — your issuer does the conversion. Prices on this page are in USD for that reason rather than an AUD column that goes stale against the rate.
Nothing is shipped and nobody travels. A seller in a regional town produces the same catalogue as one two streets from a studio, on the same day, which is the single biggest practical difference this makes in a country this size.
Re-cropping one photo for three destinations by hand is where listing evenings go. Marketplace export takes one approved image and produces the correct canvas, padding and fill for each platform, at no credit cost.
The model catalogue covers a spread of body types rather than one sample size, so the same dress can be generated on more than one body and the size range is represented as it actually sells. From Pro up you can upload and save your own models and keep them across every drop.
Generic AI invents fabric, and an invented print is a return. CatalogX is built to preserve product pixels: a graphic keeps its printed scale and position, an all-over pattern holds its repeat through folds, and a dyed colour does not drift toward whatever the model expected.
Every exported image carries the IPTC digital source type for algorithmically generated
media, and images showing a photorealistic AI-generated person additionally carry Amazon's
contains-synthetic-performer keyword, required by its policy worldwide. It is
embedded in the image rather than kept in a dashboard, so it travels with the file.
| 25-piece range | Booked studio day | CatalogX |
|---|---|---|
| Where you have to be | Within freight range of a studio | Anywhere with a phone camera |
| When you can shoot | When the studio and model are free | The day the samples land |
| Seasonal imagery | Off-cycle stock, or shoot it yourself | Your own garment is the source image |
| Re-shooting one rejected frame | Rebook the session | Regenerate in about 30 seconds |
| Adding a colourway later | A new shoot | 1 credit |
| Usage rights | Negotiated, often time-limited | You own every output, no watermark, no window |
The first two rows are the ones that decide whether a small label can list well at all. Everything after them is a question of cost; those two are questions of whether the shoot happens.
Yes. Australian credit and debit cards are accepted and the charge is made in US dollars, so your card issuer handles the conversion. Prices here are shown in USD for that reason rather than as an AUD column that drifts against the exchange rate.
Not here, because nothing is scheduled around a season. You generate a summer drop in September and a transitional range in February whenever your samples land, rather than fitting into a studio's calendar that is busiest when everyone else in your market is also shooting. There is no seasonal stock library involved at any point — your own garment is the source image.
That is the main reason regional sellers use it. All you need is a clear photo of the garment taken on a phone — a flat lay, a hanger shot or a mannequin shot. Nothing has to be shipped anywhere and nobody has to travel, so a seller in a regional town has exactly the same catalogue as one two streets from a studio.
They differ, which is the point of the export tool: one approved master image is resized and padded to each destination's own canvas at no credit cost, covering eBay, Etsy, Amazon, Shopify, Depop, Poshmark, TikTok Shop and Instagram. Generation itself gives you HD and 2K on every plan, with 4K from the Business plan up.
The rule on every major marketplace is that the image must accurately represent the item the buyer receives, not that it was taken with a camera. On top of that, every exported image carries the IPTC digital source type for algorithmically generated media, and images showing a photorealistic AI-generated person carry Amazon's contains-synthetic-performer keyword, which its policy requires worldwide.
Yes. The model catalogue spans a range of body types rather than a single sample size, and the same garment can be generated on several of them so a size range is represented honestly. From the Pro plan up you can also upload and save your own models and reuse them across every drop.
About 30 seconds per image, and up to 20 garments per batch run against one model, with each output keeping the filename you uploaded it under. A 40-piece range is two runs. The real constraint becomes how fast your samples clear, not when a studio has a free day.
Yes, on every plan including the free one. No watermarks, no per-image licence and no usage window: use them on your own store, on marketplaces, in paid ads, on packaging and in print.
Five free credits, no card. Use something with a print or a shape you think will trip it up.
