Lifestyle Product Shot by Text

Request

Creates enriched product shots by placing them in various environments using textual descriptions.

This endpoint allows adjusting the background of a product by replacing it with a solid color. You can specify a hex color code (e.g., #FF5733) in the scene_description to control the background color. This feature is only available when generating a single result (num_results=1).

Additionally, you can change the image size of the final result as well as the positioning of the product in the image. This will enable you to create new and unique variations of your original image.

This API endpoint supports content moderation via an optional parameter that can prevent processing if input images contain inappropriate content, and filters out unsafe modified images - the first blocked input image will fail the entire request.

Headers
api_tokenstringrequired

API token associated with the organization.

Bodyapplication/json
skustring

The Stock Keeping Unit identifier for the product. This parameter is optional.

syncboolean

Determines the response mode. When true, responses are synchronous. With false, responses are asynchronous, immediately providing URLs for images that are generated in the background. It is recommended to use sync=false for optimal performance. When generating more than 1 result, you should use the value false. When placement_type is automatic, sync has to be false.

Default false
fastboolean

Determines the generation mode. When true, the generation will utilize the fast mode which provides the best balance between speed and quality. The false, the regular mode will be utilized.

Default true
image_urlstring

The URL of the product shot to be placed in a lifestyle shot. If both image_url and image_file are provided, image_url will be used. Accepted formats are jpeg, jpg, png, webp. Maximum file size 12MB.

filestring

The product shot file to be placed in a lifestyle shot, in base64 format. Used if image_url is not provided. Accepted formats are jpeg, jpg, png, webp. Maximum file size 12MB.

scene_descriptionstring

Text description of the new scene or background for the provided product shot. Bria currently supports prompts in English only, excluding special characters.

optimize_descriptionboolean

When true, an additional logic takes the scene_description that was included and adjusts it to achieve optimal results. Built with Meta Llama 3.

Default true
num_resultsinteger

The number of lifestyle product shots you would like to generate. You will get num_results x 10 results when placement_type=automatic and according to the number of required placements x num_results if placement_type=manual_placement.

Default 4
exclude_elementsstring

Elements or features that should be excluded from the generated scene. This parameter is optional and is available only when fast=false. Bria currently supports descriptions in English only, excluding special characters.

placement_typestring

This parameter allows you to control the positioning of the product in the image.

  • "original" will preserve the original position of the product in the image.
  • "automatic" will generate results with the 10 recommended positions for the product.
  • "manual_placement" will allow you to select predefined positions, using the parameter "manual_placement_selection".
  • "custom_coordinates" Provides precise control over the size and position of the image using the parameters "foreground_image_size" and "foreground_image_location". This includes positions outside the canvas, which may result in cropping.
  • "manual_padding" will allow you to control the position and size of the image by defining the desired padding in pixels around the product.
Enum"original""automatic""manual_placement""manual_padding""custom_coordinates"
original_qualityboolean

This flag is only relevant when placement_type=original. If true, the output image retains the original input image's size; otherwise, the image is scaled to 1 megapixel (1MP) while preserving its aspect ratio.

Default false

foreground_image_sizeArray of integers

Specifies the desired dimensions of the foreground image within the generated output. The size is defined as an array of integers representing [width, height] in pixels.

foreground_image_locationArray of integers

Specifies the desired [x, y] coordinates for positioning the foreground image within the full shot. The coordinates represent the upper-left corner of the foreground image. Values can extend outside the shot, in which case the input image will be cropped accordingly.

For optimal results, the total number of pixels, including padding, should be around 1,000,000. It is recommended to first use the product cutout API, get the cutout and understand the size of the result, and then define the required padding and use the cutout as an input for this API.

  • If some images pass and others fail, returns a 200 response with successful outputs and "blocked" objects for failed ones

For asynchronous requests (sync=false):

  • Failed images are replaced with zero-byte files at their placeholder URLs
  • Successful images are stored at their original placeholder URLs
