A captivating product image has the power to entice, inform, and ultimately persuade a potential customer to make a purchase. Shopify knows this for a fact. That’s why the platform strives to support its merchants with powerful solutions that make product presentation more effective yet effortless.
Shopify AI known as Shopify Magic is one of such intriguing offerings.
What is Shopify Magic?
Shopify Magic is Shopify’s AI suite of generative apps. The suite is still under development with new tools being added to it every few months. So far, it assists merchants with:
- Automatic text generation – Fast creation of SEO-friendly product descriptions, FAQ answers, and blog post drafts as well as auto-replies to emails.
- App review summaries – Auto-generated summaries of all customer reviews on your product that help customers make purchasing decisions faster.
- Predicted values for the amount spent per customer – AI predictions about possible future stats in your Customer cohort analysis for a more data-backed strategy.
Media Generation is the latest addition to the suite. It offers automated and easy editing of all your images to help you enhance the store's visual appeal with minimal effort.
Features of Media Generation for Shopify Images
Media Generation in Shopify Magic combines the capabilities of AI with popular photo editing features. Powered by image recognition algorithms and an understanding of the latest design trends, the tool helps e-commerce specialists remove product image backgrounds, create transparent images, and choose scene styles to match existing product images.
Let’s take a better look at its features:
- Automated Product/Background Separation – Shopify Magic relies on AI algorithms to automatically distinguish between the subject and background of an image. It puts them on different layers faster and far more precisely than Photoshop’s magic wand.
- Background Removal – Shopify Magic can also automatically delete the background layer and give you a nicely cut transparent image.
- Scene Replacement – No need to search for a nice studio to take your product pictures at. You can simply ask the tool to replace the backgrounds in your Shopify images with AI-generated scenes.
- Manual Tweaks– For more accuracy and creative freedom, you can make manual adjustments (e.g. resize images to Shopify standards) with the built-in image editing tools.
In short, any merchant using Shopify Magic can achieve a stylish and professional look in their store without any knowledge of image editing or product photography.
