AI Catalog Generator

Generate consistent e-commerce catalog imagery across entire product lines using each::sense — the intelligent AI agent that automatically selects the best model for your request.

Quick Start

Requires an each::labs API key. Get one at eachlabs.ai.

Using curl

curl -X POST https://eachsense-agent.core.eachlabs.run/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "messages": [
      {
        "role": "user",
        "content": "E-commerce catalog photo: a navy blue backpack with tan leather straps and brass buckles, front view on a pure white background, product centered filling 85% of the frame, soft studio lighting with minimal shadow, sharp focus, consistent e-commerce catalog style, product photography"
      }
    ],
    "stream": false
  }'

Using Python (OpenAI SDK)

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    api_key="YOUR_EACHLABS_API_KEY",
    base_url="https://eachsense-agent.core.eachlabs.run/v1"
)

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="eachsense/beta",
    messages=[{
        "role": "user",
        "content": "E-commerce catalog photo: a navy blue backpack with tan leather straps and brass buckles, front view on a pure white background, product centered filling 85% of the frame, soft studio lighting with minimal shadow, sharp focus, consistent e-commerce catalog style, product photography"
    }]
)

print(response.choices[0].message.content)

With Reference Image

Provide a product photo to generate additional catalog angles:

curl -X POST https://eachsense-agent.core.eachlabs.run/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "messages": [
      {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
              {"type": "text", "text": "Generate an e-commerce catalog photo of this product from a different angle. Show a three-quarter view from the left side. Match the same white background, lighting style, and product framing as a professional e-commerce catalog. Consistent with standard catalog photography."},
              {"type": "image_url", "image_url": {"url": "https://example.com/product-front.jpg"}}
            ]
          }
    ],
    "stream": false
  }'

Images are sent inside messages using the OpenAI multimodal content format. Maximum 4 images per request.

Streaming

Set "stream": true for real-time SSE responses, or "stream": false for complete result in a single response. Streaming is useful for showing progress in UIs; non-streaming is simpler for scripts and automation.

Catalog Image Types

Type	Purpose	Description
Main / Hero	primary listing image	front view, white background, product fills frame
Alternate Angle	secondary views	side, back, three-quarter, top-down
Detail / Close-Up	feature highlights	zoom on texture, hardware, stitching
Color Variants	show available colors	same angle, different product colors
Scale / Size	size communication	product next to a common reference object
Group / Collection	category overview	multiple products arranged together
Lifestyle Context	emotional connection	product in use or styled setting

Consistency Framework

For a professional catalog, every image must share:

Element	Keep Consistent
Background	same color and gradient (or pure white)
Lighting	same setup: direction, intensity, softness
Camera Angle	same default angle across products
Framing	same product-to-frame ratio (e.g., 85%)
Shadow	same shadow type: drop, contact, or none
Color Grading	same warmth, saturation, contrast

Prompt Engineering Tips

Template Prompt (Reuse for Consistency)

Create a base prompt and swap only the product description:

"E-commerce catalog photo: [PRODUCT DESCRIPTION], [ANGLE] on a pure white background, product centered filling 85% of the frame, soft studio lighting with minimal contact shadow, sharp focus throughout, consistent e-commerce catalog photography style."

Angle Specifications

front view — straight-on from the front
back view — straight-on from the back
left side profile — 90 degrees left
right three-quarter — 45 degrees from right
top-down — directly overhead
low angle — slightly below eye level looking up

Catalog Planning Checklist

For each product in your catalog, generate:

1. Main image — front view, white background (required for all platforms)
2. Alternate angle — three-quarter or side view (shows depth/shape)
3. Detail close-up — material, craftsmanship, or key feature
4. Scale reference — optional, product next to common object
5. Lifestyle shot — product in use or styled context
6. Color variants — one shot per available color (same angle)

Common Pitfalls

• Inconsistent lighting across products — use the exact same lighting description in every prompt.
• Product size varies across images — always specify "product fills 85% of the frame" (or your target ratio).
• Background color shifts — "white background" can vary slightly. Specify "pure white (RGB 255,255,255)" for strict consistency.
• Text and brand names on labels will render incorrectly. Plan to composite labels in post or accept generic placeholder designs.
• Too many products in one grid — more than 4-6 items per composite image reduces quality per product.
• Mixed angles across a product line — use the same default angle for all main images.
