How to Turn Product Photos into High-Converting Ads

Stunning ads no longer require expensive photo shoots or professional studios. With Studio by MorningAI, anyone - yes, even first-time users - can transform everyday product photos into jaw-dropping visuals in just minutes. Whether you're tight on time, budget, or both, MorningAI empowers you to create content that looks like it came from a world-class creative team.

Let's walk through the exact process our founder Chris uses to generate beautiful product ads using Studio. This tutorial will help you skip the guesswork and start creating right away.

‍

Upload Your Product Photo (30 seconds)

Start by opening Studio and creating a blank document. You have two options:

Upload directly: Drag and drop your product image
Use ProductDNA™ library: Pull from your existing brand assets

‍

💡 Pro Tip: Choose a well-lit image with a simple background to start - it gives you better results, faster. Images with clear product definition and minimal distractions work best.

‍

Best Photo Characteristics:

Good lighting (natural or well-balanced artificial)
Clean, simple background
Product is in focus and well-positioned
High resolution (minimum 800x800px)

‍

Transform with AI Prompts (1 - 2 minutes)

Click on your product image to reveal the Image Editor, marked by the ✨ magic star icon. Select it to open your editing tools.

Basic Transformation Prompts

Start with simple prompts like:

"Make this look cool with a nighttime background and show some stars. Retain the product and logo."

‍

‍

Reverse Engineering Successful Ads

Upload an inspiring ad to MorningAI's Chat tool and ask "Please reverse engineer a creative brief that would create similar images to this one. Do not mention the brand or product name."

‍

Chat will generate a detailed prompt including:

Lighting style and direction
Product placement and angles
Mood and emotional tone
Background and foreground details
Color palette and perspective
Compositional elements

Then copy and paste this prompt directly into the image edit field in Studio.

‍

Add Your Brand Context (1 minute)

Enhance results by including your brand information

Essential Brand Elements:

Primary brand colors (hex codes work best)
Logo placement preferences
Brand personality (playful, luxurious, modern, etc.)
Target audience demographics

It is often easier to provide your brand context inside of Chat so any prompt it writes for you already includes the brand details for you.

‍

Create Variations & Export (2 - 10 minutes)

Create a multi-page document
Export as a PDF or image set
Download individual assets for ads, social, or web
