Quick Answer

Use Nightjar to generate instant flat lays. You don't need to buy props or arrange them manually. Just upload your product and ask for a "flat lay with botanical elements" or "stone textures," and Nightjar will arrange a perfectly balanced composition for you.


Why flat lays are harder than they look

A good flat lay requires a stylist's eye.

  • Balance: Not too messy, not too empty.
  • Lighting: Needs soft, top-down lighting to avoid harsh shadows.
  • Props: You need fresh flowers, clean stones, or specific textures.

Why traditional flat lays are tedious

Doing this for real takes hours. You have to buy the props, set up the lights, and nudge things around by the millimeter. If the flowers wilt, you have to start over.

How Nightjar creates flat lays

Nightjar acts as your digital stylist.

  1. Upload: Your product (top-down view works best).
  2. Select Style: Choose "Flat Lay," "Botanical," or "Natural."
  3. Generate: The AI arranges leaves, stones, or wood textures around your product. It handles the shadows and spacing automatically.

Perfect for lifestyle and natural products

If you sell skincare, supplements, or organic products, flat lays are essential. Nightjar lets you create endless variations—on wood, on marble, on sand—without ever leaving your desk.
