Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our AI Shadow Generator and how to create professional product photos.
Is the AI Shadow Generator free to use?
Yes, you can try our AI Shadow Generator for free. We believe in letting you experience the magic of instant lighting effects before you commit. Simply upload your image to add realistic shadows and download the result.
How do I add realistic shadows to product photos without Photoshop?
It's easy with ImageHub. Just upload your product image (preferably with a transparent background). Our AI automatically detects the object's 3D shape and casts a natural shadow. You can then adjust the lighting direction and intensity to get the perfect studio look—no Photoshop required.
Can I use the generated images for commercial purposes (Amazon, Shopify)?
Absolutely. All images processed with our AI Shadow Generator are royalty-free and cleared for commercial use. They are optimized to meet the strict image guidelines of major platforms like Amazon, eBay, and Shopify.
What file formats does the AI Shadow tool support?
We support all major image formats including JPG, PNG, and WebP. For the best results, we recommend uploading a PNG with a transparent background so the AI can accurately place the cast shadow beneath your product.
How does this differ from a standard "Drop Shadow"?
A standard drop shadow is just a flat, blurry gray outline. Our AI Shadow Generator creates a "Cast Shadow" (physics-based projection) or a "Contact Shadow" (grounding the object). This creates a sense of depth and realism that simple drop shadows cannot match.
Do you offer an API for bulk shadow generation?
Yes, for high-volume enterprise needs, ImageHub offers an API. This allows developers to automatically add realistic shadows to product photos in bulk, streamlining the workflow for large e-commerce catalogs.
