AI images

What AI images do

AI images add two things on top of your designed creative: background removal, which gives each product a clean cutout instead of its original photo background, and lifestyle scenes, which place that cutout into a generated on-brand setting. The cutout or scene becomes the product image inside your designed template - the frame, badges, and pricing still render exactly as you built them.

Your standard designed images are always the baseline. If AI images are off, or the spend cap is reached, every product keeps serving its regular designed creative. Nothing in your feed ever waits on a generation job.

Bring your own vendor key

Generation runs on your own vendor account, so you pay the vendor directly and Adorn never marks up an image. Cutouts start around $0.002 an image on fal.ai, or about two cents on Bria and Photoroom. Your key is stored encrypted against your account and used only for your images.

1. Open AI Images and turn on AI cutouts.
2. Pick a cutout provider - fal.ai, Bria, or Photoroom - and paste your API key from that vendor's dashboard.
3. Select Preview cutout on a product to confirm the key works and you like the edge quality before anything else generates.

Choose coverage

Coverage decides which products get cutouts. Top N covers your first N products, a bounded slice you choose. Whole catalog covers everything, including new products as they arrive in the feed, so coverage maintains itself as the catalog grows. Switching to whole catalog is a paid, catalog-wide action, so Adorn shows you the projected cost and asks you to confirm before saving.

Set the spend cap

The spend cap is a hard limit on how many images Adorn may generate in a rolling 30-day window. It is the wallet control: coverage decides which products are eligible, the cap decides how fast they generate. A large catalog backfills across windows at the pace you set, and the screen shows how far coverage has gotten and how long the rest will take at the current cap.

Finished images are cached by content, so a product that has its cutout never generates again until its source image actually changes. You pay once per unique image, not per render or per impression.

Lifestyle scenes

Scenes are the premium layer: your cutout placed into a generated setting that matches the look you describe. They use a separate scene provider (Bria or Photoroom) with its own key, and a scene prompt you write, like a bright Scandinavian living room wall. Scene generation costs roughly ten times a cutout, so the same spend cap matters more here.
