Batch Processing

Why batch rather than one at a time

For brands with more than 20 SKUs, generating images individually is unsustainable. Batch processing solves three problems simultaneously: speed (hundreds of images in hours rather than days), consistency (the same background, lighting, and style applied uniformly across every product), and cost (batch token pricing is more efficient than individual generations).

Preparing your catalog for a batch

Batch output quality is only as good as your input images. Before running a batch, audit your product library:

• Every product should have a clean, isolated cutout. If background removal produced rough edges on any product, re-upload with a cleaner source photo.

• Ensure all products are at least 800×800px. Low-resolution inputs will produce low-resolution outputs regardless of your chosen output size.

• Group products by type. Skincare products might all use the "Marble Surface" background; outdoor gear might use the "Forest Trail" preset. Running separate batches by product category produces better results than mixing everything.

• Tag products consistently so you can filter and select the right group for each batch.

Running a batch job

1. 1

   Go to Product Library and tick the checkbox on each product you want to include in the batch. Use filters (tag, category, collection) to select groups quickly.

2. 2

   Click "Batch Generate" in the toolbar that appears at the top of the library.

3. 3

   Select your output mode: Product Photo, Video Ad, or Static Ad.

4. 4

   Set your style parameters: choose a background preset or enter a custom background prompt, select a lighting preset, choose the aspect ratio (1:1, 4:5, or 16:9), and set how many variations per product you want (1–4).

5. 5

   Review the token cost estimate shown before you confirm. AIMS calculates the total based on your product count and per-generation settings.

6. 6

   Click "Start Batch." The job runs in the background — you don't need to keep the tab open. You'll get an email when it's complete.

7. 7

   Review the results in Export History → Batch Jobs. For any product where the output doesn't look right, select it and click "Regenerate" to run it individually with adjusted settings.

Maintaining consistency at scale

The most important batch setting is locking your style parameters. When you run a batch, every product in that batch uses identical background, lighting, and aspect ratio settings. This produces a cohesive catalog where every image reads as part of the same campaign — even if the products are visually very different from each other.

Research shows that consistent brand presentation across a product catalog increases revenue by up to 23%, and shoppers form visual trust judgements in under 50 milliseconds. A batch of inconsistently styled product images undermines this even when each individual image looks good in isolation.

Which products to batch first

If you have a large catalog and limited tokens, prioritise strategically:

• High-margin products — returns on better imagery are highest here.

• Top-traffic products — pages already getting visitors will see immediate conversion improvement.

• Underperforming listings — products that have high views but low conversions often have the worst imagery.

• New arrivals — launch every product with professional imagery from day one.
