AI Tool

Transform one photo into six unique visuals—no prompts, no cost.

Most founders have one solid hero photo for their product. 

But Shopify says conversion jumps 30% with more lifestyle shots, try-ons, and benefit graphics. Plus you’ll likely need ads and Amazon images too.

So here's the 5-step plan to turn that one hero photo into everything you need.

1. Pick a good photo as your input

2. Pick a Plan

In Pixii.ai, each Plan is a proven playbook for your goal—Shopify, Amazon, or ads—built with insights from top brands, experts, and Harvard AI engineers. 

3. Provide info about your product

Paste in bullets from your listing or write a description yourself.

Pixii.ai uses that to tailor each Plan for you!

4. Generate and Edit

Click Generate and you’ll get 18 designs in about 2 minutes.

Then edit the ones you like in Pixii's Canva-like editor.

5. Watch conversion rate soar!

Upload the visuals. They are primed to perform.

Later: swap in fresh visuals

People and algorithms are always changing, so rerun this play next season to keep conversions high. A/B test visuals if time allows.

Case Study: Kin Euphorics

We ran this exact workflow for Kin Euphorics in Pixii.ai.

One product photo went in, and 2 minutes later, 18 visuals came out.

We only need 6, so it’s ok that some were distorted.

Pixii.ai reverse-engineered the top 1,000 brand playbooks, then went further—interviewing experts from Shopify, Amazon, Meta, and more to uncover what truly works.

The platform helps you create lifestyle shots, UGC, ads, and Amazon A+ content with ease.

Bonus for DTC Daily readers: the founders are longtime readers of our newsletter and have agreed to drop their paywall just for you!

No prompts, photoshoots, designers or credit card.

How to make founder-led content that 100x’s your reach

Let’s be real—you are the best marketing asset your brand has.
But if you're not showing up on camera, you're leaving massive reach on the table.

That’s where this session comes in.

We’re hosting a free, live workshop built just for founders like you.
