02 / REAL RESULT: A SCENE MADE FROM ONE REFERENCE

Once it is in a new scene,
is it still your product?

The image on the left was the actual input for the result on the right. Compare the details before trying your own photo.

Rectangular head, silver pins, gray grip insert and hanging hole.
02 / The result made with that referenceCorgi product scene generated using that same rectangular brush reference

  • Brush-head outline and silver pins
  • Mint color and gray grip
  • Round hole at the handle end
The request sent to IMA

Keep the brush shape, color, grip and hanging hole. Show the whole product in front, a corgi behind it, a lavender background and no text.

One 2K image-to-image test with Nano Banana 2.1. The input is an AI-generated fictional product. Main shape and colors carried over, while pin arrangement and perspective changed. This is one test, not a consistency guarantee. Check real dimensions and the back separately.

03 / POSSIBILITIES: WHAT YOU CAN MAKE WITH IMA

Explore a few image uses,
then define your own idea.

Product hero images, lifestyle scenes and social covers are starting points. Describe a different idea and explore it with your product photo in IMA.

01

Product hero images

Place the product against a clean background with a pet. Make its outline, colors and key parts easy to recognize.

Use for: ad openings / social covers
02

Product-in-use scenes

A cat tree in a living room, a cat near a fountain, a brush against fur. Give viewers a clear setting for how the product is used.

Use for: product details / pet care content
03

Images for a content series

Explore color backdrops, home settings and close-ups around your product. Prepare different images, then test your posts.

Use for: regular posts / creative tests

04 / INSPIRATION: DIFFERENT WAYS TO SHOW A PRODUCT

Use these product examples
to find your own direction.

Cat trees, care tools, bowls and harnesses show different approaches. Change the product, pet or setting, or start with a completely new idea.

Products with scale / Show the base, platforms and pet together

A / LARGE ITEMS · CAT TREES, BEDS & FURNITURE

Cat trees and pet furniture:
show the whole product and its space.

Help buyers see the size, placement and use. Start with the whole product, then add interaction and detail views.

  1. Start wideKeep the base, entrance and platforms in frame.
  2. Show the relationshipPlace the pet on a platform suited to its real weight.
  3. Finish with detailAdd a close-up of materials and joints.

Contact products / Show the grip, tool surface and contact point

B / CARE · BRUSHES, BATH TOOLS & WIPES

Grooming and bath brushes:
make the correct action clear.

Show the tool, hand and contact point together. Explain one care action before the surrounding steps.

  1. One use occasionChoose bathing, after a walk or everyday grooming.
  2. One correct actionFollow the real product instructions. Show the hand, tool and coat.
  3. One clear finishReturn to the pet and product. An image alone cannot prove effectiveness.

C / BOWLS, FOUNTAINS & FEEDERS

Fountains and food bowls:
show them in use.

Keep the product in front and the pet behind. Show their relationship and any visible water flow. Quietness and filtration claims need real product tests.

Wearables / Show the outline, fasteners and fit

D / HARNESSES, PET CLOTHES & TRAVEL GEAR

Harnesses and pet clothes:
show shape and fit.

Use a side or three-quarter angle for panels, straps and buckles. Supply front and back photos and sizing, then check the fit in the result.

05 / CASE BREAKDOWN: THREE BEATS FOR YOUR CONTENT

Look at four original posts.
Break each into three beats.

Original video frames on the left, adaptation ideas on the right.
Check the correct use for your own product separately.

    Frames from four original posts were checked. The former belly-band example is omitted because its public entry is currently unavailable. Text visible inside frames belongs to the original videos. The three-beat plans are adaptation suggestions.

    06 / VARIATIONS: IMAGES FOR DIFFERENT USES

    Two approaches to a product:
    a cover and a lifestyle scene.

    A cover emphasizes appearance; a scene explains use. These bowl concepts show how purpose changes the background and composition.

    01 / Color-backdrop heroSocial cover: let the product's outline and color stand out.

    02 / Everyday settingProduct details and posts: show placement and use.

    These are separately generated fictional product concepts. They do not establish consistency for one real item and have not been tested in ads. For a series, reuse one product reference and check shape, color and scale in every image.

    How do you choose the next version?

    To test an opening image, keep the product, copy and audience fixed, then change the visual. Check clicks and orders. Compare one variable at a time.

    07 / YOUR BRIEF: START WITH YOUR OWN PRODUCT

    Ready to use your product?
    Make these four things clear.

    Product details, pet and action, placement, lighting and purpose. Specific choices make your request easier to understand.

    1. 01

      Which product? What must stay the same?

      Original color, shape, fasteners, brush pins or label. Supply a separate back view if needed.

    2. 02

      Which pet? What action?

      Choose size and coat color, then one natural action suited to the product.

    3. 03

      What goes in front and behind?

      “The whole brush in the foreground, a corgi watching from behind” gives a clear composition.

    4. 04

      What lighting, background and purpose?

      Soft light, a solid-color background, a 4:5 social cover. Give each image one main job.

    Image and data sources +

    Case leads and historical metrics came from thepet commerce creative guide. This version also uses frames from seven original public video embeds. Frames support case analysis; credits and original links remain. They do not establish that IMA made those videos. Three-beat plans are adaptation suggestions.

    Views, likes and comments use the reference page's records dated 2026-10-20. Views mostly came from topic pages; interactions came from post pages. Sales, conversion, cost savings and AI production were not verified. Check the linked originals for current information.

    All creative images except original-video frames depict fictional product examples. The reference-based test retains its real input and output. Images cannot replace checks of physical structure, dimensions or effectiveness. Generated images are not presented as video screenshots.

    Your product images travel with your request to IMA. Desktop uses the canvas; mobile uses the image creation page. Check structure, colors, dimensions and correct use before generating.
