Creative Editing And Scene Generation

How do I generate a lifestyle background from a simple white background photo?

Last Updated: December 10, 2025

Quick Answer (TL;DR)

This is the core function of AI product photography. You upload the white-background (PNG or JPEG) image, and the AI analyzes the perspective and lighting. With Nightjar, you select a pre-made style (like "Lifestyle Kitchen" or "Outdoor Nature") or type a custom prompt. The AI generates the environment around the product, filling in the gaps and adding realistic reflections and shadows.

Key Considerations

  • Perspective Match: The AI must detect if the photo was taken at eye level or from above. Nightjar does this automatically to prevent "tilted" looking compositions.
  • Scale: You don't want a lipstick the size of a car. Nightjar's interface allows you to scale the product relative to the generated scene to ensure realistic proportions.
  • Efficiency: This turns a single catalogue asset into unlimited social media content pieces (morning vibe, evening vibe, travel vibe) without new photos.
