How credits work

Each plan gives you a set number of monthly credits. Our Art Director will suggest how to “spend” them based on your brand, goals and creative needs.


  • Standard product image (Clothing (Flat Lay), Accessories, Shoes, Beauty, Bags, and Home Goods) = 1 credit
  • Advanced product image (Clothing (Ghost Mannequin, Stuffed), Oversized products) = 1.5 credits
  • Complex product image (Jewelry, Watches) = 2 credits
  • Hand model image = 3 credits
  • Full-body model image = 4 credits
  • Credits per image vary based on complexity, styling, and setup

You can expect:

  • 15 credits → ~8–12 images (up to 15 deliverables)
  • 50 credits → ~25–40 images (up to 50 deliverables)
  • 100 credits → ~50–85 images (up to 100 deliverables)

Enough for a launch, campaign refresh, or ongoing content across ads, site, and social — depending on your mix.

TURN PRODUCT SHOTS INTO A FULL VISUAL CAMPAIGN

Production-ready AI visuals, art-directed to match your brand and designed to perform across e-commerce channels.
Trusted by 2,500+ brands
Problem
Growing brands need
a lot of visual content
across channels. But...

producing it via repeated shoots is too slow and expensive, and AI-only workflows don’t reliably
meet commercial standards.
our manifesto
We don’t replace product photos with AI. We shoot the product physically.

AI is used for models, scenes, props, and backgrounds, with final refinement by our post-production team.

AI handles speed & extends possibilities. Squareshot handles taste and judgment.

FAQ
Still have questions?
Still have questions?
Chat with an expert.
Do I need professional product photos to use this service?

Yes. We build AI visuals from real product photos to keep the product accurate and brand-safe. If you don’t have them yet, we can shoot the product for you.

What’s the difference between per-image and a campaign?
Per-image is best when you already know what you want and need a single visual (or a few) — you act as the art director.

Campaigns are art-directed sets of visuals designed to work together across PDP, ads, and social, with one clear creative direction.
How “AI” are these visuals — will they look fake?

No. The product is always real and photographed physically.

AI is used for models, scenes, props, and backgrounds, and then every image goes through human curation and QA before delivery. Nothing ships unless it meets commercial standards.

How long does it take?

Most projects are delivered in days, not weeks.

  • Per-image:
    4 business days turnaround with your images.8 business days if we shoot products.*
  • Campaigns:
    8 business days turnaround with your images.12 business days if we shoot products.*

*Product photography is quoted separately, starting at $50/image.

How many revisions are included?
Each project includes one clear alignment round, plus revisions.

We intentionally avoid endless exploration to keep things fast, focused, and shippable.
Is this replacing photoshoots?

For many use cases — yes.

Instead of reshooting every time you need new visuals, we expand what you already have into campaign-ready assets across channels.

Should I book a call or just start a brief?
  • If you want a few visuals and know what you’re afterStart with a 5-min brief
  • If you want help defining direction, a campaign, or rollout strategyBook a call.
    Calls are optional — not required to place an order.
Who is this service best for (and not for)?

Best for: fashion, beauty, jewelry, and accessories brands that need more content without more shoots.

Not for: teams looking for DIY AI tools or ultra-low-budget, uncurated outputs.

Can I proceed if my project doesn't
meet the minimum order amount?
Absolutely! However, you will need to cover the difference between the cost of the images you ordered and the cost of 20 equivalent images. This is required to cover the minimum talent booking time and pre-production fees.
Can I build a shoot using both a
Squareshot and my own model?
Certainly! In such cases, the standard Squareshot casting process and a minimum order of 20 images (10 for each model type) still apply.
What if I fail to show up for
a model shoot?
If the client-contracted model(s) or brand representative is unable to join the remote or in-studio shoot within 2 hours without any notice or fails to show up, a no-show fee will be applied and the shoot will be automatically rescheduled without additional charges. Please read our сancellation & rescheduling terms, and no-show & late fees documents for more info.
Can I bring the items on the day of
the shoot?
Items that require fitting on models should be sent in advance. Products that do not require fitting, or are shot without models, can be brought with you on the shoot day. However, this isn't recommended because all products are processed and prepared for the shoot in advance to avoid unexpected issues and delays.
Can I change the guidelines during
the shoot?
Yes, you can slightly change the guidelines during the shoot if they don't significantly affect the overall complexity or duration of the photoshoot and retouching process. Remember that the changes should not reduce the number of deliverables specified in the original proposal, as the shoot is planned based on a predetermined volume. If the guidelines change, extra retouching fees may apply if they increase the complexity of the post-production process.
How many models are included
in the price?
For every 10 images ordered, the cost of 1 model is included in the price per image. If you want to include additional models not covered by the per-image price, it will cost $900 per model.

Example: If you order 35 images and want 4 models to be photographed per shoot, here's the price breakdown: 35 images X $200/image + $900 for the 4th model = $7,900.
Who provides the outfits for model photoshoots?
You can either provide your own outfits or use our "Complete the Outfit" add-on service for $100 per outfit. This service includes selecting clothes, coordinating accessories, choosing shoes, layering and styling outfits, recommending hair and makeup (if applicable), and conducting fittings and adjustments.
Can I change the on-shoot approval
option before the shoot has started?
If you've booked an in-studio shoot but can't attend physically, you can switch to remote approval at no extra cost. Please notify your Account Manager at your earliest convenience.
Can I change the number of
deliverables during the shoot?
For each deliverable, we photograph multiple variants of the same image (angle, styling, composition, outfit, etc.) to create a selection pool. You can choose more images from the selection pool than outlined in the original proposal. Each additional image will come at a rate of 50% of the original image price. However, you cannot choose fewer than the number specified in the original proposal, as the shoot is planned based on a predetermined volume.

Requests for new images (angles, styling, composition, outfit) that differ from the original shot list and extend the production time are considered new deliverables and come at full price.
What if I can't attend the shoot on
the proposed dates?
We propose the day for the shoot within 3 business days after the invoice is paid. If you can’t attend for remote or in-studio approval, we'll propose a date within your availability. Please note that the project turnaround time will be extended by the number of days between the initially proposed date and the actual shoot day.
