# Getting Started with Style Work

> Upload a product photo, and ModoAI analyzes it, suggests a fitting style and concept, and creates the shots you choose.

## Style Work Highlights

> **Product & Brand Analysis**
>
> Analyzes your product's category, features, and target buyers, along with your saved brand info, to suggest a fitting style and concept with the reasons why.

> **Ratios for Every Channel**
>
> Choose 4:5, 1:1, 3:4, or 5:4 and post right where you need it.

> **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 |
| - | - | - |
| Marketplace main image or thumbnail | Clean or Minimal | 1:1 |
| Product detail page shots | Lifestyle or Natural | 3:4 |
| Social feed | Lifestyle or Color Pop | 4:5 |
| Apparel front, back, and detail shots | Upload a cut-out shot, then use **Edit** e.g. "make this the back view", "zoom in on the sleeve detail" | 1:1 · 3:4 |

## Before You Upload

<ul>
  <li>A clear product on a simple background gives the most accurate results</li>
  <li>Make sure the product fills at least 70% of the frame</li>
  <li>One front-view photo is required, and you can add left, right, back, top, and bottom views (up to 6)</li>
  <li>Choose a sharp, in-focus photo</li>
  <li>JPG, PNG, WEBP, and HEIC files are supported (up to 25MB per file)</li>
</ul>

<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>

Upload **one front-view photo** and select **Start with 1** to analyze your product.

<ul>
  <li>Add left, right, back, top, or bottom views (up to 6) for more accurate results</li>
  <li>If the analysis doesn't match your product, you can edit it yourself</li>
  <li>No photo yet? Try **Start with a sample image**</li>
  <li>Shots made from a sample also use 1 credit per image</li>
</ul>

## STEP 03 · Choose a Style

<video autoPlay muted loop playsInline src="https://mintcdn.com/modoai/jH5WHTtfAMsjL33e/images/style-02-style-en.mp4?fit=max&auto=format&n=jH5WHTtfAMsjL33e&q=85&s=cc8f3010a9730bbe165d0c1f449f2fab" />

ModoAI suggests the style that fits your product, along with **why it's recommended**.

<ul>
  <li>Want a different look? You can pick another style yourself</li>
  <li>Clean or Minimal suits thumbnails, and Lifestyle or Color Pop suits social feeds</li>
</ul>

> **All 6 styles at a glance**
>
> Six styles made from a single original photo.

## STEP 04 · Choose Concepts

<video autoPlay muted loop playsInline src="https://mintcdn.com/modoai/jH5WHTtfAMsjL33e/images/style-03-concept-en.mp4?fit=max&auto=format&n=jH5WHTtfAMsjL33e&q=85&s=8d2f0138a9449a464a7cfb35118302f0" />

ModoAI suggests **concepts** built to sell in your chosen style.\
You can pick several to compare.

<ul>
  <li>Start by picking two or three to compare</li>
  <li>Want new ideas? Select **Regenerate concepts** (no credits used)</li>
  <li>Credits are used in the next step, when images are created</li>
</ul>

> **How to get new concepts**
>
> You don't type a concept yourself. You choose from the ones ModoAI suggests.\
> If you have a different direction in mind, try this.
>
> 1. Select **Regenerate concepts** to get new suggestions without using credits.
> 2. Create a shot with the closest concept, then use **Edit** to change it in one sentence, like "use a marble counter instead of the oak table."
> 3. If you want to set the background yourself from the start, [Studio Work](https://modoai.io/docs/studio/overview.md)Beta is a better fit.

## STEP 05 · Choose a Ratio and Create

<video autoPlay muted loop playsInline src="https://mintcdn.com/modoai/jH5WHTtfAMsjL33e/images/style-04-generate-1003-en.mp4?fit=max&auto=format&n=jH5WHTtfAMsjL33e&q=85&s=99963b9bd44d09ee84780d31deb29a1f" />

Choose the ratio for where you'll use the image and select **Start image shoot**.\
**4:5** is the default.

<ul>
  <li>Each image uses 1 credit</li>
  <li>If generation fails, no credits are used</li>
</ul>

[How credits are deducted](https://modoai.io/docs/pricing/credits.md#how-credits-are-deducted)

> **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 06 · Edit

<video autoPlay muted loop playsInline src="https://mintcdn.com/modoai/jH5WHTtfAMsjL33e/images/style-05-edit-en.mp4?fit=max&auto=format&n=jH5WHTtfAMsjL33e&q=85&s=fb84f1cbaf2e1a6b746e8c6b6fd010c8" />

Review your images and download them.\
If there's anything you'd like to change, describe it in one sentence in **Edit**.

<ul>
  <li>**Your first edit is free**, and each edit after that uses 1 credit</li>
  <li>You can change the mood, color, or composition</li>
</ul>
