What Bulk does

Bulk helps sellers process a catalog batch instead of fixing product photos one at a time.

Bulk is for catalog work

Bulk is built for sellers who need more than one product photo cleaned up. Instead of repeating the same workflow one image at a time, you can upload a batch, approve a visual direction, review the results, and download the images that are ready.

Bulk helps with

Product catalog cleanup
Marketplace listing refreshes
Shopify collection updates
Supplier photo cleanup
Seasonal product launches
Agency client batches
Consistent ecommerce presentation

Basic Bulk workflow

Upload 5–50 product photos.

Add the product images you want to process together.

Choose the workflow.

Pick the template or output path that fits the job.

Approve one look.

Use one result as the visual direction for the batch.

Run the batch.

Process the photos together instead of one by one.

Review the results.

Keep the images that work and use Try again where needed.

Download selected.

Export only the images you want to use.

💡

Think batch, not shortcut

Bulk works best when the photos belong to the same catalog, collection, client, or product update.

Bulk batch size

Bulk is built for batches of 5–50 product photos.

Upload 5–50 product photos at a time

Bulk is designed for catalog batches. That means product groups, store updates, marketplace refreshes, seasonal launches, and supplier photo cleanup.

Batch limits

Minimum Bulk batch: 5 photos.
Maximum Bulk batch: 50 photos.
For a single image, use the regular Lift workflow.
For more than 50 photos, start another batch.

ℹ️

Why 5–50?

This range keeps Bulk focused on real catalog work while keeping the review process manageable. A batch should be large enough to benefit from consistency, but small enough to review carefully.

App messages

Fewer than 5 photos selected

Bulk starts at 5 photos. For a single image, use the regular Lift workflow.

More than 50 photos selected

Bulk supports up to 50 photos at a time. Please start a new batch for the remaining images.

Reference-locked consistency

Approve one look first, then use that direction across the batch.

Consistency starts with one approved look

Bulk works best when the batch has a clear visual direction. Instead of guessing across every photo, approve one strong result first. That reference look helps the rest of the batch feel like one catalog.

Reference workflow

Before batch

Product photos may have different lighting, backgrounds, crops, and quality.

Approved reference

Choose one result that shows the look you want.

Consistent output

Use the approved direction across the rest of the batch.

How to use a reference

Pick a strong source photo.

Start with a product image that clearly shows the item.

Generate a result.

Create the first version before running the full batch.

Approve the look.

Confirm the crop, background, lighting, and product presentation.

Run the batch.

Use the approved direction for the remaining photos.

Review each result.

Keep, try again, or leave out images that are not ready.

💡

The reference is about style, not product content

The reference look guides the visual direction. Each product still needs to be reviewed for its own label, shape, packaging, and details.

How to prepare photos for Bulk

Better source photos make Bulk easier to review and more consistent.

A batch is only as strong as the photos inside it

Bulk can help clean up a catalog, but the source photos still matter. The best batches have clear product images with enough detail to preserve labels, shapes, and packaging.

Before you upload a batch

Group similar jobs together.

Keep marketplace-ready photos, transparent cutouts, and lifestyle needs in separate batches.

Remove unusable shots.

Do not include images where the product is blocked, cropped off, or too blurry to review.

Check labels and packaging.

Make sure important product details are visible.

Avoid heavy glare.

Strong reflections can make labels and edges harder to preserve.

Use consistent angles where possible.

Similar source angles usually create a more consistent batch.

Name files clearly.

Clear filenames make it easier to review and organize the final download.

Bulk source photo do / don’t

Do

Use sharp product photos.
Upload products from the same catalog or update.
Keep the full product visible.
Use similar source angles when possible.
Review the batch before running it.

Don't

Mix unrelated image goals in one batch.
Include heavily blurred screenshots.
Include products blocked by props or hands.
Upload photos where the label is unreadable.
Run a batch without reviewing the first approved look.

✨

RenderLift tip

If a few source photos are much worse than the rest, leave them out and retake them. One weak photo can slow down review for the whole batch.

Bulk Lift preview

Bulk shows the estimated Lift cost before the batch runs.

Review the cost before you run the batch

Bulk should not surprise you. Before a batch starts, review the number of photos, selected workflow, output size, and estimated Lift use.

Example Bulk previews

Standard product batch

24 photos selected
Marketplace Ready
1K or 2K output
24 photos × 1 Lift = 24 Lifts

Higher-resolution batch

50 photos selected
Product cleanup workflow
4K output
50 photos × 2 Lifts = 100 Lifts

Cost preview should show

Number of photos selected.
Workflow or template selected.
Output size selected.
Estimated Lifts needed.
Current Lift balance.
Whether more Lifts are needed before starting.

⚠️

Start only when the batch is ready

Review the estimated cost and the selected photos before starting. Bulk is designed for batches of 5–50 product photos, so use the regular Lift workflow for a single image.

Review, Keep, and Try again

Bulk review lets users keep strong results and create another attempt where needed.

Bulk is not finished until you review it

A completed batch is a review queue. Look through each result, keep what works, use Try again where needed, and leave out anything that is not ready for download.

Review actions

Keep marks a result as approved for now.
Try again creates a fresh attempt when the result is close but not right.
Selected results are included in the next download.
Downloaded results can be downloaded again without using additional Lifts.
A completed result is not automatically published anywhere.

Review flow

Open the batch review.

Start with the images that still need action.

Keep strong results.

Mark results that are ready or close enough to use.

Use Try again where needed.

Create another attempt when a result completes but you want a different version.

Select for download.

Choose the kept results you want to export.

Download selected.

Export the approved set when ready.

💡

Review one image at a time

Bulk saves time, but the final decision still belongs to the seller. Check product shape, label details, edge quality, color, and crop before downloading.

Download selected results

Bulk users should be able to download only the results they approve.

Export the images you actually want

Bulk review should not force every result into the final download. Keep the images that work, select the ones you want now, and download only those results.

Download behavior

Keep does not have to mean download immediately.
Selected images are included in the next download.
Download selected exports the current selected set.
Download all kept can export all approved results.
Re-downloading a finalized image does not use additional Lifts.
Trying again after finalizing creates a new attempt and may use more Lifts.

Download workflow

Review grid

See which images are kept, selected, or need another attempt.

Selected results

Choose the images that should be included in the export.

💡

Keep your download clean

Exporting selected results helps sellers avoid mixing approved images with images that still need review.

Where Bulk works well

Bulk helps sellers refresh product images across marketplaces and storefronts.

Bulk is useful wherever catalogs need consistency

Different platforms have different image requirements, but the need for clean, consistent product photos is common across ecommerce.

Bulk use cases

Amazon

Refresh groups of listing images and review final results against current marketplace requirements.

Shopify

Create a more consistent product grid for collections, product pages, and store updates.

Etsy

Clean up small-batch or handmade product photos while keeping the catalog visually consistent.

Walmart

Prepare product-first images for marketplace catalog updates.

eBay

Improve resale, catalog, or inventory photos in batches.

WooCommerce

Standardize product images for your own store, category pages, and product grids.

⚠️

Review platform rules before publishing

Bulk helps create cleaner product images, but each platform and category may have its own image rules. Review final images before publishing.

When to use Bulk

Use Bulk when several product photos need the same workflow and a consistent look.

Use Bulk when the work repeats

Bulk is useful when you would otherwise repeat the same product photo workflow many times. It helps when the images belong together and need a consistent result.

Bulk is a good fit when

You have 5–50 product photos.
You are cleaning up a product catalog.
You are updating marketplace listings.
You are launching or refreshing a Shopify collection.
You are processing supplier photos.
You need the same visual direction across a batch.
You want to review and download selected results.
You are preparing a seasonal or recurring catalog update.

Common Bulk jobs

Catalog refresh

Turn inconsistent product photos into a cleaner set.

Store launch

Prepare many product images before publishing a new store.

Marketplace update

Process listing images in batches instead of one at a time.

Have a catalog batch ready?

Upload 5–50 product photos and review the estimated Lift cost before you run.

Start a Bulk batch

When not to use Bulk

Bulk is not always the right workflow. Single images and mixed creative jobs may be better handled separately.

Not every job should be a batch

Bulk is designed for catalog batches. If the images do not belong together, need different creative directions, or include only one photo, another workflow may be better.

Choose the right workflow

Use Bulk for

5–50 product photos
Catalog cleanup
Store refreshes
Similar product image goals
Batch review and selected downloads

Use regular Lift for

One product photo
Testing a new template
A single hero image
A one-off transparent cutout
A custom creative result

⚠️

Do not mix unrelated jobs

A batch should have one clear purpose. Do not mix Marketplace Ready, Transparent, lifestyle, and ad-style goals in the same batch unless the workflow explicitly supports it.

What happens during review

Bulk separates technical completion from user review, so users know what to expect.

Review happens before you finalize

Bulk gives you a review step so you can decide which results are ready. Keep the results that work, use Try again where needed, and download the selected images when the batch is ready.

What to expect

If something does not complete properly on our end, the Lifts for that attempt are returned automatically.
If a result completes but you want a different version, your first Try again is included before you finalize.
Additional attempts after the included Try again may use more Lifts.
Re-downloading a finalized image does not use additional Lifts.
Completed results should be reviewed before publishing.

Technical issue vs. another look

Something does not complete

The attempt does not produce a usable result.
The Lifts for that attempt are returned automatically.
The image can be tried again after the issue is resolved.

Result completes

The image is available for review.
You can keep it, leave it out, or use Try again.
Your first Try again is included before you finalize.

💡

Review before download

Bulk is meant to save time, not skip judgment. Check each final image before using it in a store, marketplace, or client catalog.

Common product photo mistakes

These are the mistakes that make marketplace images look unprofessional or get skipped.

Watch for these before publishing

Busy background

The buyer has to separate the product from the room, table, or clutter.

Bad lighting

Yellow, dim, or harsh light makes the product look worse.

Crooked product

Slight tilts can make packaging look careless.

Tiny product

Too much empty space makes the item hard to inspect.

Glare

Reflections on plastic, foil, or glass can hide important details.

Low resolution

Blurry or compressed images reduce trust.

Added graphics

Main images should not look like banner ads.

The same product shot inconsistently across a catalog with different backgrounds, sizes, and angles

Inconsistent catalog

Products from the same brand should feel visually related. When each photo uses a different background, size, and angle, the catalog looks disorganized and less trustworthy.

💡

Fix the biggest issue first

If you only have time for one improvement, fix the background and lighting. Those two changes usually create the biggest quality jump.
