E-Commerce Product Photography Guide
Best practices, lighting schemes, product identity preservation, and hardware limitations.

Capturing the Ideal Source Photo
Great inputs produce exceptional studio outputs.
✓ What Works Best
- Even, diffused ambient lighting without heavy harsh flash glare.
- Clear contrast between your product and the surface underneath it.
- Product fills approximately 60%–80% of the camera frame.
- Clean lenses ensuring sharp label text and logos.
✕ What to Avoid
- Extremely blurry, low-resolution photos (< 200px).
- Complex busy backgrounds with similar colors to the product.
- Cropped product edges cutting off caps, nozzles, or soles.
- Severe chromatic distortion or heavy colored filters.

Why Product Identity Preservation Matters
The difference between generic AI art and commercial e-commerce tools.
When merchants use standard diffusion text-to-image prompts for e-commerce, the AI hallucinates brand names, misspells ingredient lists, and alters the mechanical silhouette of gadgets.
Silixen Studio guarantees 100% pixel-perfect subject identity preservation. We isolate your exact product pixels into a high-resolution transparent alpha cutout, and synthesize studio lighting, contact occlusion shadows, ambient color bounce, and glossy floor reflections around it.

Transparent Hardware, Model & Storage Disclosures
Open disclosure of engineering architecture and zero-cost constraints.
1. Model Download Size:The primary neural segmentation model (`briaai/RMBG-1.4` quantized ONNX) is approximately 44.4 MB. On first use, it downloads to your browser and is stored in browser cache. No model download occurs when simply visiting the homepage.
2. Zero Paid Inference APIs:Inference runs entirely in your local browser using Transformers.js and ONNX Runtime Web. Silixen Studio never sends your source product photos to third-party paid cloud inference APIs.
3. Local IndexedDB Binary Storage:High-resolution generated PNG binaries are persisted locally inside your browser's private IndexedDB storage to eliminate recurring cloud storage fees. Account metadata is stored in our secure Neon PostgreSQL database.
4. Free Tier Quota Policy:Registered users receive 2 free generation jobs daily (yielding up to 6 distinct variation outputs daily). Daily quotas reset automatically at midnight UTC.
