CatalogX turns one product photo of a pair of sunglasses into a photo of that pair on a model's face. The frame sits straight and level on the nose and ears, clear of hair; the frame shape, colour, lens tint, bridge, temples and any logo are reproduced from your photo; and a frame width in mm is translated into how wide it reads on the face. 1 credit per HD photo, 5 free on signup.
Upload one front-on photo of the pair with the temples open. Add the frame width in mm if you know it.
The same model library, poses and backgrounds as your clothing, so eyewear and apparel read as one catalogue.
Compare the frame shape, tint and temple logo with your pair, then export at each marketplace's size or as a short clip.
The Sunglasses type has its own instructions on top of the shared accessory rules. These are the failures it is written against.
| What goes wrong | How CatalogX handles it |
|---|---|
| The frame drifts toward a generic shape | Frame shape, frame colour and finish, bridge design, temple arm shape and hinge hardware are all reproduced from your photo. |
| The tint or gradient changes | Lens tint and gradient come from your photo. |
| A mirror-bright flare hides the lenses | Lenses show a realistic, subtle reflection — never a flare that hides the tint, and never so transparent that the eyes take over from the product. |
| The temple logo disappears, or one is invented | Any logo on the temple or lens is kept; nothing is added that is not in your photo. |
| The glasses sit crooked or are covered by hair | Worn on the face, sitting correctly on the nose and ears, straight and level, with the frame fully visible and clear of hair. |
| The face is too small to read the frame | Framing is pushed to a close-up, close enough that the frame shape and its details read clearly. |
| A second pair or extra jewellery appears | Exactly one product is rendered; nothing from outside your reference is added. |
A catalogue photo carries no scale. Type the total frame width and it becomes a statement about the face, the only ruler in the frame. Bare numbers are read as millimetres, the eyewear convention.
| Total frame width | Renders as |
|---|---|
| up to 130 mm | A narrow frame sitting well inside the width of the face |
| 130–142 mm | A standard frame reaching roughly to the outer edges of the face at the temples |
| 142–150 mm | A wide frame spanning the full width of the face |
| over 150 mm | An oversized statement frame wider than the face itself |
No measurement to hand? Pick one of five size tiers instead, worded for eyewear: a large frame has lenses covering the brow and the top of the cheekbone, an oversized one is wider than the face and covers from brow to mid-cheek. Either way the whole face stays in frame — brow, temples and the line of the ear — so a buyer can see where the frame rests on the bridge and how the temple arms run back.
Straight and level on the nose and ears, with the frame clear of hair. Framing is pushed to a close-up (face and shoulders) even if you ask for a full-body or three-quarter shot, because at full length a pair of sunglasses is a handful of pixels. The model's outfit is plain and muted by default; festive, party, smart formal and everyday casual are options too.
The product view drops the person entirely: a top-down flat-lay, or the pair upright on a plain display block. The same frame, tint and logo rules apply in full.
From the Pro plan, a finished photo can become a 4, 6 or 8-second clip at 2 credits a second at 720p; 1080p is Business and above, at 4 credits a second, as an 8-second clip. Accessory clips use their own motion: the default is a gentle half-turn that catches the light, or a slow push-in on the detail when the shot is already a close crop. Turnaround and twirl are never suggested for an accessory, because they turn the product out of view — you can still pick them yourself.
Eyewear clips carry their own lock: the same frame shape, colour and thickness and the same lens tint, sitting in the same place on the face.
Most marketplaces want a clean product image on a plain background in the main slot, so keep a white product shot there and use the on-model photo in the supporting slots. CatalogX's free background removal gives you the white shot from your own photo, and the marketplace export sizes either one for each platform.
For a whole drop, the Listing Pack resizes and names every image for up to 17 marketplaces and fills each one's own image columns in an Excel sheet. It is free on every plan; only the photos themselves use credits.
Yes. Choose Accessories, then Sunglasses, upload a front-on photo of the pair and pick a model. The result shows them worn straight and level on the face, framed close enough that the shape and details read.
Lens tint and gradient, and any logo on the temple or lens, are reproduced from your photo, and no logo is added that is not in it. Compare the tint against your pair in daylight before listing, as you would with any photo.
The Sunglasses type is tuned for sunglasses: it copies the tint from your photo and keeps the lenses from going so transparent that the eyes take over. Clear-lens frames go through the same type, so check that the render has not added a tint, and fix it with an edit (1 credit) if it has.
The pair front-on with the temples open, on a plain background in even light, so the frame shape and bridge read. Avoid a bright reflection across the lenses — it hides the tint you are trying to show. Tags and stands are left out of the render anyway.
Type the total frame width, for example 140 mm. Bare numbers are read as millimetres: up to 130 mm sits well inside the face, 130–142 mm reaches the temples, over 150 mm is wider than the face. Without a number, pick one of five size tiers worded for eyewear.
