September 27, 2025 · Updated
The Folklore’s AI tool works very well for titles and descriptions, but when it comes to images, results improve significantly when clear and structured prompts are used.
Below you’ll find a step-by-step guide and prompt structures to follow depending on the editing option you choose.
When writing your prompt, describe the product in the following order:

Materials and textures
Example: “Smooth black leather with gold hardware”
Example: “Flowing pastel pink silk with floral print”
Colors and finishes
Example: “Glossy red patent finish”
Example: “Matte beige with woven details”
Shape and design
Example: “Rectangular tote with top handle and crossbody strap”
Example: “Long dress with puffed sleeves and cinched waist”
Angle or presentation (optional)
Example: “Front view,” “Detail close-up,” “Flat lay”
Background and setting (optional)
Example: “White studio background”
Example: “Outdoor urban scene with natural lighting”

Key Tips
Always begin with the product (type + material + color + design).
Keep the background simple (white / neutral) if it will be used in e-commerce.
Describe the model generally (gender, build, pose) without specifying facial features.
Use particular angles or close-up shots when you want to highlight finishes or textures.
With these structured prompts, your AI-generated images will be clearer, more realistic, and more professional.
