# Getting Started with Studio Work

> Set a space like a store, showroom, or beach as your background, and ModoAI places your product naturally to fit it.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Studio Work is a **Beta feature**.\
> We're continuing to improve it for more natural results.

## Studio Work Highlights

> **Choose Your Background**
>
> Pick a ready-made studio background, or upload a photo of the space you want.

> **Adjust Space Ratio**
>
> Set how much of the frame the product fills with Wide · Medium · Close to get different compositions from the same background.

> **Direction**
>
> Describe the mood, color, or composition in one sentence, and ModoAI restyles that shot.

## Pick by Goal

| You need | How to make it | Suggested ratio |
| - | - | - |
| Campaign pages and banners | Upload your own background, Wide space ratio | 5:4 |
| Your own store or space | Upload your own background | Depends on use |

## Before You Upload

One background photo sets the mood of your result.\
Choose a single shot with a clear tone.

| Item | Works well | Avoid |
| - | - | - |
| Mood | One shot with a clear tone (single viewpoint) | Mixed tones and colors with an unclear mood |
| Composition | Clean, without too many objects | Cluttered with many objects |
| Lighting | Natural or even lighting | Harsh shadows or uneven lighting |
| Content | Homes, stores, showrooms, and interiors all work | Large people, text, or logos |

Prepare your product photo using the [same checklist as Style Work](https://modoai.io/docs/style/overview.md#before-you-upload).\
Backgrounds with people may have them removed, or generation may be blocked, under [Human Figures & Image Rights](https://modoai.io/docs/policy/people.md).

## STEP 01 · Add Your Brand Info

![Brand info panel](https://mintcdn.com/modoai/jH5WHTtfAMsjL33e/images/brand-info-en.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=jH5WHTtfAMsjL33e\&q=85\&s=4f7719da89553e040425516775b3a420)

Save your brand info, and ModoAI makes more accurate suggestions for your brand.

<ul>
  <li>Open **Brand info** at the top of the workspace</li>
  <li>Enter your brand name, store URL, and category, then select **Save**</li>
  <li>To add it later, close it with **X** and go straight to uploading</li>
</ul>

## STEP 02 · Choose a Background

<video autoPlay muted loop playsInline src="https://mintcdn.com/modoai/jH5WHTtfAMsjL33e/images/studio-01-background-en-v2.mp4?fit=max&auto=format&n=jH5WHTtfAMsjL33e&q=85&s=f5ee6bb5082685e18642cd086ac98d5c" />

There are two ways to set the background.

<ul>
  <li>**Choose a studio**: pick from backgrounds ModoAI provides</li>
  <li>**Upload an image**: add your own space, like a beach, store, or interior</li>
  <li>If you have a clear mood in mind, upload your own background</li>
</ul>

> **See an example: perfume + beach background**
>
> | Input | Details |
> | - | - |
> | Product image | Perfume: a cool, refreshing scent that brings to mind blue sea and sky |
> | Background image | Beach: cool sea and sand together |
> | Result shot | An ocean-blue perfume shot with a fresh aqua sea scent |
>
> Results look most natural when the product's character matches the background's mood.

## STEP 03 · Upload Your Product Photo

<video autoPlay muted loop playsInline src="https://mintcdn.com/modoai/jH5WHTtfAMsjL33e/images/studio-02-upload-en-v2.mp4?fit=max&auto=format&n=jH5WHTtfAMsjL33e&q=85&s=c0a512e1aeb2770d588fccc102e4da40" />

Upload your product photo and ModoAI analyzes it.\
The process is **the same as in Style Work**.

<ul>
  <li>One front-view photo is enough to start</li>
  <li>If the analysis doesn't match your product, you can edit it yourself</li>
</ul>

## STEP 04 · Choose Shoot Options

<video autoPlay muted loop playsInline src="https://mintcdn.com/modoai/jH5WHTtfAMsjL33e/images/studio-03-options-en-v2.mp4?fit=max&auto=format&n=jH5WHTtfAMsjL33e&q=85&s=a67f0f4f8cb74c6aa59328ee70d42fc5" />

Choose the **Space ratio** (product size in frame) and the **aspect ratio**.

<ul>
  <li>Wide 20\~30% · Medium 40\~60% · Close 70\~80%</li>
  <li>Not sure about the composition? Choose **AI Recommended**.\
  It's set to fit your product</li>
  <li>Aspect ratios are the same as Style Work: 4:5 · 1:1 · 3:4 · 5:4</li>
</ul>

> **When to use each space ratio**
>
> | Option | Product size | Recommended when |
> | - | - | - |
> | Wide | 20\~30% | You want to emphasize the space and atmosphere  Images where the background matters: travel, nature, outdoors  You want to show your brand mood across a wide scene |
> | Medium | 40\~60% | You want to balance the product and background  Great for product pages and social feed images  The most versatile, go-to composition |
> | Close | 70\~80% | You want to highlight the product's detail and texture  Effective for ads, thumbnails, and product page images  You need a high-impact visual |

> **Recommended uses by ratio**
>
> | Ratio | Use it for |
> | - | - |
> | 4:5 | Instagram feed, top of a mobile product page |
> | 1:1 | Marketplace main images, thumbnails, social posts |
> | 3:4 | Product detail pages, catalogs |
> | 5:4 | Desktop banners, landscape layouts |

## STEP 05 · Edit

<video autoPlay muted loop playsInline src="https://mintcdn.com/modoai/jH5WHTtfAMsjL33e/images/studio-04-result-en-v2.mp4?fit=max&auto=format&n=jH5WHTtfAMsjL33e&q=85&s=f40291e9e5c0dae02b31398c73d7009b" />

Review your images and download them.\
Want changes? Use **Edit** to ask for a different mood, color, or composition.

<ul>
  <li>**Your first edit is free**, and each edit after that uses 1 credit</li>
  <li>With Edit, you can restyle the same shot in a different mood</li>
</ul>
