With SuperCool, you can transform a single product photo into a complete suite of professional marketing assets—3D mockups, promotional posters, presentation slides, social media graphics, and more—without a designer, a studio, or a single piece of software beyond this one.
This guide will show you exactly how to do it.
1. Start With the Best Version of Your Photo
Before you create anything, give yourself the strongest possible foundation. The better your source image, the better every asset you build from it will look.
Here is what makes a strong product photo for this workflow:
Clean contrast: The AI needs to clearly identify where your product ends and the background begins. A product shot against a plain white, black, or neutral wall works best.
Good lighting: Natural light from a window is ideal. Avoid harsh shadows falling across the product itself or yellow overhead lighting that distorts your product's true colors.
High resolution: The more detail in your source image, the sharper your mockups, posters, and presentations will look. If you have multiple shots, use the highest resolution one.
A straight-on or slightly angled shot: Full front-facing or three-quarter angle shots give the AI the most to work with when building mockups and placing your product into new scenes.
2. Remove the Background First
The first step in this workflow is always the same: get a clean, transparent version of your product. This is your master asset—the foundation that every other creative will be built from.
Upload your photo to the SuperCool chat, but do not hit send yet.
Click directly on the image you just uploaded inside the chat box.
An editing window will appear. Click the Remove Background tool (the eraser icon).
SuperCool will process the image and return a transparent PNG of your product with the background stripped away cleanly.
Save this file before doing anything else. Every mockup, poster, and presentation you create in the following steps will start from this transparent PNG.
(Note: If the edges aren't perfectly clean—which can happen with reflective surfaces, glass, or fine details like smoke—try re-uploading a higher resolution version of the original photo or cropping tighter around the product before uploading.)
Now the real transformation begins. Upload your transparent PNG back into SuperCool and prompt it to place your product into a realistic three-dimensional scene. This is where a simple product shot becomes a professional lifestyle image.
Here are some prompts to get you started:
Prompt:
"Place this candle on a dark marble surface with a soft warm glow surrounding it and a shallow depth of field. Keep the product exactly as it appears. Keep everything else the same."
Prompt:
"Place this product on a rustic wooden shelf with soft natural light coming from the left. Keep the product exactly as it appears. Keep everything else the same."
Prompt:
"Place this candle inside a luxury bathroom setting—white marble, gold fixtures, soft candlelight. Keep the product exactly as it appears. Keep everything else the same."
Each of these prompts turns your flat product photo into a rich, atmospheric lifestyle image that looks like it came from a professional product shoot.
4. Build Promotional Posters
With your transparent PNG in hand, creating a promotional poster is a single prompt away. Be specific about the layout, the message, and the mood you want:
Prompt:
"Create a promotional poster for a product called Lavender Dreams. Place the candle centrally on a deep navy background with soft gold typography. Include the text: 'Hand-poured. Small batch. Made with intention.' at the bottom. Keep the product exactly as it appears."
Prompt:
"Create a limited edition launch poster for this candle. Dark background, bold white serif headline at the top reading 'Now Available.' Product centered with a soft halo of light behind it. Brand name at the bottom in small elegant caps."
Prompt:
"Create a seasonal poster for this product. Autumn theme—warm oranges, deep browns, falling leaves. The candle should feel like the centerpiece of a cozy evening scene."
Your product can anchor an entire set of social media graphics in minutes. The key is to think about what each post needs to communicate and prompt accordingly:
For a product announcement:
"Create a square social media graphic with a dark background. Place this candle on the left side of the frame and add the text 'New Arrival' in bold white letters on the right. Add a subtle gold dividing line between the product and the text. Keep the product exactly as it appears."
For a promotional offer:
"Create an Instagram post graphic for a 20% off sale. Place the product centrally on a cream background. Add the text '20% Off This Week Only' in large bold typography above the product and the discount code 'FALL20' below it in smaller text."
For a brand values post:
"Create a branded social media graphic with this candle on a soft linen background and the text: 'Every flame tells a story.' in elegant italic script. Small logo placement at the bottom center."
6. Build Presentation Slides
If you pitch to wholesale buyers, present at markets, or send brand decks to potential stockists, you can build a polished product presentation directly from your photo.
Prompt:
"Create a professional product presentation slide for the Lavender Dreams candle. Use a dark luxury aesthetic with gold accents. Place the product on the right side of the slide and add the following details on the left: Product name, scent notes (lavender, vanilla, cedarwood), burn time (50 hours), price point ($32), and a one-line brand statement: 'Hand-poured in small batches for intentional living.' Keep the product exactly as it appears."
You can generate multiple slide styles—a hero product slide, a full range overview slide, a pricing slide—and ask SuperCool to keep the visual language consistent across all of them.
7. Create Packaging and Label Mockups
If you want to show what your product looks like in different packaging scenarios—a gift box, a tissue-wrapped bundle, a branded bag—SuperCool can generate those too:
Prompt:
"Create a mockup showing this candle inside a premium black gift box with the lid slightly open, tissue paper visible inside, and a small gold ribbon. Keep the product exactly as it appears."
Prompt:
"Create a flat lay mockup showing this candle alongside a branded thank you card, a sprig of dried lavender, and a small matchbox. Clean white surface, top-down perspective."
💡 Pro Tip: The more scenes, formats, and contexts you place your product into, the more versatile your marketing library becomes—and every new asset you generate is one less thing you need to hire a designer or photographer to produce.
